Hi Pithball,
Try to manually load the snd-rawmidi module: $ /sbin/modprobe snd-rawmidi $ /sbin/lsmod | grep snd Any changes to alsamixer?
[root@localhost etc]# ./init.d/alsasound stop Shutting down sound driver: done [root@localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd snd_page_alloc 10632 0 [root@localhost etc]# modprobe snd-rawmidi [root@localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd snd_rawmidi 24960 0 snd_seq_device 8844 1 snd_rawmidi snd 53124 2 snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10464 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10632 0 [root@localhost etc]# alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [root@localhost etc]# cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards ---
Nothing got added to dmesg or /var/log/messages.
I tried several other modules too. Some let me open alsamixer but give the same result (no master volume). I'll try some more, because I thought I've seen one that gave more items in alsamixer.
JeeBee.
