ALSA installed but not found.

I'm a new user. Recently I've done an upgrade and had to install OSS for a game and my ALSA driver seems to be completely gone.
# /etc/rc.d/alsa start
:: Restoring ALSA Levels [BUSY] /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1569: Cannot open /etc/asound.state for reading: No such file or directory
[DONE]
so I tried aslactl store to restore the file:
# alsactl store
alsactl: save_state:1502: No soundcards found..
No go...
# ls -l /dev/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2009-10-12 13:30 /dev/dsp -> /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm0
# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
# alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
However, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins. I even tried to install a bunch of alsa-related stuff from AUR as well. I don't know why its not being found. I'm really hating how OSS can only manage 1 sound source.

I am having the exact same problem, I have no idea how to fix it or what it going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
There is only one difference with my problem
ls -l /dev/dsp
ls: cannot access /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
/dev/dsp does not have a soft link

  • Installed but not found on computer

    I've successfully installed the latest 10.1 for my 64-bit laptop with Windows 7.  A check by Adobe confirms that it was properly installed, and that I have the correct version for my computer.
    AND YET, there is no icon for it anywhere, it doesn't come up on my list of Programs, when I enter "Adobe Flash Player" in the search bar it shows no such program, and when I try to play a FLV file, it won't give me Flash Player as an option. So..... I have it on my computer, but I apparently am not allowed to see it or access it?
    I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is.  Any help for this maddening situation?

    Hi,
      Yes, I read his comments and I made sure Shockwave Flash Object was enabled in IE as he suggested. I am trying to make a flip book. One of the posts here in the forum said to make a SWF file, which I did. But now I can't figure out how to do anything with it. I thought Flash Reader was the right program to look at it, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I need Flash itself? The flip book thing has me pretty frustrated and confused. All the sites and software I've tried are poor quality. I was hoping I could figure out how to do it through Adobe to get better quality.

    Re: Installed but not found on computer
    Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a stand alone Player. You should have Shockwave Flash Object in add ons in IE and make sure it is enabled.
    Your Flash files are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash 
    You may want the Adobe Media Player:http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/   
    Hope that helps,

  • Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
    I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
    Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

    In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons.  Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?

    Hi,
    I am installing Oracle clinical 4.5.x.
    I need to know whether both the Database server and application server for Oracle Clinical can be installed on same server(windows 2000 server).
    Both of them are installed on windows platform.
    It seems that u have tried the single node installation.
    So,please give all the possible details regarding the single node installation for oracle clinical no matter what platform it is.
    Please reply me as soon as possible, its urgent.
    Thanking u in advance.

  • Airport Express green, but not found in Itunes10 - Bonjour problem?

    my AX is connected to my network (join a network) and connected to speakers to use as remote speakers on iTunes (airtunes). Connection works great, status is green. I have 2 windows pc's on the network: XP and Vista.
    As long as iTunes was shipped with Bonjour 1.0 this was no problem.
    From iTunes version 8, when Bonjour 2.0 was introduced, the Airport was not visible anymore in iTunes, and also not in Airport Utility. Strange fact however: the AX seems to work fine (green light) and I can view the configuration in Airport Utility via 'Configure Other...' and entering the ip address on my local network. all options are set correctly for Airtunes.
    I believe this is a bonjour related problem, as until now, the fix was to uninstall Bonjour 2.0 and install an old version (1.0.6)
    iTunes10 however does not seem to work with Bonjour1.0
    So I'm at a loss: my AX is not visible in iTunes, not in XP, not in Vista.
    Other things I tried:
    * disable firewall completely: no luck
    * reset airport express and reconfigured (all GREEN light and visible via configure other, but not found in a scan of Airport Utility when using bonjour2.0
    * open port 5353 TCP/UDP in my router (D-Link DI-524) for the AX: no luck
    Anyone having the same issue?
    config: AX(n) FW7.4.2 in join a networkmode WPA2-DHCP, Dlink DI-524, WinXP, WinVista, iTunes 10, Airport Utility 5.5.1Win, Bonjour2.0.2

    I have exactly the same problem. Extremely annoying. Before, I could fix it by re-installing Bonjour after each iTunes-upgrade. But after version 10, that doesn't work any more. Or rather, I can see the AX in Airport Utilities, but it doesn't show up in iTunes. (Weird thing is, it works fine on my other computer, both run Windows Vista).
    I guess one answer would be to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes?
    Is Apple aware of this issue? It must be a bug in Bonjour. It's been around a long time now. Please fix it!

  • Looked for but Not found

    I have looked for but not found. So that means that more than likely I have just not looked in the right place.
    What I am trying to find is the total number of contacts the the 8530 will hold. IE; 500? 1000?
    I know that each contact will take so many numbers and so many email address's but how many individual contacts will it allow you to add?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I have yet to see a credible source publish actual limits for records on any of the calendar, memo, tasks, or contacts apps. If you find one please post. I usually tell users to keep it manageable. To me 6,000 contacts? Seriously?
    Heck I wasn't stationed with 6,000 people in the U.S Army! .
    Remember the device memory is flash memory, designed for keeping all device functions running at peek levels. Storing large amounts of records just takes that much dynamic memory and makes it static.

    Check /var/abs/extra/eclipse/eclipse.install. Typo in post_remove: post-install should be post_install. You can run the post_install manually (and maybe report this in the bug tracker), but it just updates the gtk icon cache, so it's nothing to worry about.

  • Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

    Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
    Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
    I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
    Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
    The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

    Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
    Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

    Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
    I got a new laptop Windows 7.  I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully.  However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

    Hey tgcraighead,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    After the installation did you restart the computer?  If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
    Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

    thank you!

    Hi Anne,
    Your version of Safari is still supported.  Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
    If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari.  This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it."  Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser.  The plugin does not open files outside of the browser.  If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
    Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not.   Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
    Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.
