That isn't really true - Bob Chiodini answered you on 22th July.
installation problems and I also think they are 2 or 3 different
problems intermixed. I have been working on this problem for over 6
weeks and don't seem to be any closer to a solution than when I started.
To repeat information from fist posting: we are talking about an Fedora
Core 4 system.
My problems are:
1) My event sounds all have scratchy or hissy backgrounds
2) My /dev/*(sound) permissions seem all screwed up
You have to be specific about this. List the permissions.
ls -al /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer*
3) All the modules seem to be there (except one for synthesizer?? --
which is required in WindowsXP)
Please show us the list of loaded modules.
4) Most but not all of my sound programs can't find my sound
card.
Which programs are that? Do they work with ALSA or do they need OSS
emulation by ALSA?
5) tvtime switches to 'line-in' even though it is set for
PCM.
I don't use tvtime. How do you face the switch?
6) system-config-soundcard plays the test sample but has the worst
distortion of all.
7) and more and more .....
and more questions ...
I have googled, checked the ALSA site, checked all the Fedora
(including
bugzilla) and Linux sites I can find. I have noticed several posted
ALSA problems similar to mine but seldom any posted solutions.
I have reams of data from lsmode, /dev/*, /proc/, PAM, /boot/config-2.6
etc. that I will share if anyone thinks they can help.
As long as you use Fedora Core 4 and no custom kernel or anything else
not shipped with Fedora we don't need a kernel configuration file or PAM
data.
You have a fully up to date FC4 with all updates installed?
I am using P4 on a Intel 82850 motherboard, Ensoniq 5889 AudioPCI
sound
card using the snd_ens1371 driver and an ATI TV Wonder tuner. Also
listed is Brooktree Bt878 video capture and Bt878 audio capture. My
Linux is Fedora Core 4.
/sbin/lspci and /sbin/lsmod output would be good to see.
