So, these are the mods that seemed relevant to sound. I notice
the absence of an entry similar to your
"snd_mixer_oss 19296 1
snd_pcm_oss" OSS is not configuered as an output device at
all. That is, only alsa works with xmms.<br>
<br>
Since alsamixer works on its own, is it possible to see what module or device it is using?<br>
<br>
snd_intel8x0 29984 3<br>
snd_ac97_codec 64608 1 snd_intel8x0<br>
snd_pcm
84872 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec<br>
snd_timer 23300 1 snd_pcm<br>
snd
50276 9 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer<br>
soundcore 9824 1 snd<br>
snd_page_alloc 9604 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm<br>
<br>Thanks for the google link, but I did rather extensive searching
and did not see many instances of this problem, except for a few people
as clueless as myself <a href="http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=23273">http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=23273</a><br>
It seems like it has more to do with the setup of the mixer than the keyboard.<br>
