Update: While searching around, I came across the command
Code:
strace -eopen alsamixer
I had recently installed an alsa mixer package with yum so I tried the command. It gave me this output:
Code:
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libncurses.so.5", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libasound.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libtinfo.so.5", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/alsa/alsa.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/asound.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
If anyone has any pointers or anything helpful, PLEASE post it. This silence is killing me. I keep seeing stuff about a file asound_card.conf but I don't have this file in my etc folder. Could this have something to do with it?
EDIT- I would appreciate even just a command to mount /proc/bus/usb/*port*/*device* as an audio device. Even if I would have to do it every reboot, I just want audio now to listen to while trying to fix my tons of other stuff.
