Alsa missing library
« on: March 05, 2010, 11:23:14 AM »
I've been trying to use espeak, which requires alsa sound. I've got alsa running and espeak works, but the sound volume is very low.

When I try to invoke alsamixer, I get the following:

Quote
tc@box:~$ alsamixer
ALSA lib control.c:874:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/local/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_oss.so

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Hints appreciated!
When I try the tip/trick for adjusting volume, I get--

Quote
tc@box:~$ amixer set Master 80%
ALSA lib control.c:874:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/local/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_oss.so
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

Those plugins are in the alsa-plugins extension. Though, do you also have OSS loaded at the same time?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Yes, I have been loading OSS by default. I'll try it without OSS. Thanks. . . . That fixed it!
