Title: ALSA has gone insane.

--------------------------------

No matter what I do, no sound. But every other application works, just not tremulous.
This is the kicker....

Even after recompiling my kernel three times, once with alsa built in, once with alsa as a module, once with alsa COMPLETELY REMOVED....

The "Dummy Device #0" is still there. Even after removing alsa entirely, the /proc/asound/cards shows a Dummy Device.

It's really frustrating. I'm running Gentoo amd64, alsa-lib-1.0.15_rc2, kernel 2.6.23 amd64. I rebuilt my kernel again normally, as I would.
I use snd-hda-intel for my Nvidia-chipset based sound card.

cat /proc/asound/cards:

 0 [Dummy          ]: Dummy - Dummy
                      Dummy 1
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia

Are you running Gutsy? I've heard the ALSA drivers have broken some games.

Umm....maybe you missed something.

It's Gentoo 2007.1 amd64.

New kernel means alsalib rebuild. Read what emerge says. :roll:

How much do you get paid to run unstable soft, and how much do you pay us for trouble shooting?

And I forgot to mention, I went thorough EVERY ebuild of alsa-lib (after EVERY kernel recompile.) None worked, and that "Dummy Device is still there.

then why don't you kill it from your asound.rc?

I tried setting a manual asound.conf in /etc to force the use of the #1 Nvidia Device which now makes sound work for everything, other that Tremulous. maybe it's SDL?

And yes, I quit every application, and even started tremulous through X by itself and still no dice.

fuser also shows in every situation that /dev/dsp isn't being used.

/dev/dsp is OSS... do you have snd-pcm-oss loaded?

It's built into the kernel at the moment.

uhm.... why?
That'll only server to demand a reboot as soon as you change anything.

Because your kernel is configured to provide a dummy device :roll:

Do you know how to read? I already said that even with alsa COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE KERNEL, it still showed up.

I guess that's it then.
Take a look at the title of this here page. Does it say Tremulous or Linux?

Guess what?

Take the kernel documentation and learn how to read.

orly? Where does it come from then if the whole sound subsystem is diked out? If you have /proc/asound, you DO have ALSA in your kernel :roll:
