[Alsa-user] unknown PCM default?

[Ulrich Zadow]

Hi,

we're trying to install alsa 0.9-12 here. All modules appear to load correctly (lsmod looks the same as other maschines we've got here with working sound), but aplay fails with

ALSA lib pcm.c:1693: (snd_pcm_open_noupdate)
Unknown PCM default.
audio open error: No such file or directory.

Our own app shows the same symptoms opening plughw:0,0.

Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Cheers,

Uli

It looks like a wrong configuration in /usr/share/alsa. Please, verify, if
files from alsa-lib/src/conf are properly installed in /usr/share/alsa
subdirectory.
