nForce 2 (audio)

[gadgervais]

I'm having the MSI k7n2 Dealta with nForce 2....
i had install nvidia drivers like it's write on the web site.... (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0283) and now when i start kde it's telling me

Sound server fatal error:
AudioSubSystem::handle0: write failed
lesn = -1, can_write = 4096, errno = 11 (ressource temporarily unavailable
This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem (see aRts Faq)

this is what i did...

-----------------------------------------
From within a shell with root privileges, type "sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0283-pkg1.run" to initiate the installation.
----------------------------------------
and after i did the configuration l
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/n...#Configuration
----------------------------------------
After the installation of the drivers, make sure the following lines are in the modules configuration file (it will be named /etc/modules.conf on most current distributions that provide a 2.4 series kernel, and /etc/modprobe.conf on most current distributions that provide a 2.6 series kernel):

* alias eth0 nvnet
* alias sound-slot-0 nvsound (may be snd-card-0 on some distributions)

If there is an entry for the i810_audio, snd-intel8x0, or nvaudio driver (an open-source audio driver that supports the nForce audio controller), that entry needs to be commented out or removed.
--------------------------------------
so i ahve delete every line whit alias "snd_intel" ect...

this is my modprobe.conf
--------------------------------------
alias eth0 sundance
alias eth1 forcedeth
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_promise
alias eth2 sundance
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias snd-card-0 nvsound
install nvsound /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install nvsound && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
--ignore-remove nvsound

so if you have an idea how i can come back whit my old setting or repair this one... please answer me!!!

I think it's because arts doesn't work with the nvidia drivers. You need to turn off aRts.
Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound Sytem
there you uncheck Enable the sound system.

Hey, I got the same mobo and distro and I 'had' the same problem that you are. I went to Configure->Sound & Multimedia->Sound System->Hardware and changed "select audio device" from autodetect to Advanced Linux Sound Arch. (aka ALSA). After that, I did a 'test sound' on the 'General' tab and sound was kickin!
