I upgraded to the 2.6 Linux kernel, and I can't get sound working. I tried playing a MP3 in XMMS, and I have it set up to use ALSA, and it plays the file, but there is no output to my speakers. I compiled support for my sound card into the kernel (C-Media and SiS) and it just doesn't do anything.
Which distribution are you using?
Arch Linux 0.6
edit: I am using the vanilla kernel from sources, version 2.6.2
Have you rebuilt ALSA since you compiled the new kernel?
ALSA is part of the kernel in 2.6, no external compiling is needed.
The 2.6 kernel doesn't have alsa-utils installed though. You still need to have that.
I had trouble recompiling for the 2.6 kernels too, so I gave up on mandrake and went to freeBSD.
I wasn't aware of that. I'll try it. Thx!
It works now! Thank you!
