I installed a new 2.4.18 kernel image today, upgrading from my 2.4.17 image. After I installed this, alsa broke, refusing to load at boot-time, claiming that the alsa driver could not be found. This required a full re-compile and install of alsa. I have compiled and installed the alsa 0.9.0beta12 drivers, libraries and utilities as instructed in the INSTALL files for each package (including ./snddevices) but cannot get alsamixer to run. Whenever I invoke it, I get the following error #alsamixer: function_snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory amixer gives the following, slightly different message #amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory This isn't a permissions problem, as the same happens when I am logged in as root. The alsa drivers for my sound card (snd-card-es1968 - Terratec SoundSystem DMX) are loaded on bootup, so they're not lost in the mess. What the sam hell is going on?
