#1 Post by Botanic »

I'm having this problem only with Puppy, but i'm not comfortable with modprobe and yesterday i messed up things after downloading drivers from Realtek, so it's better i post here and hope someone can help.

soundcard Realtek ALC888
the error message in gxine is :

Code: Select all

snd_pcm_open() failed:-19:No such device
apparently snd_hda_intel is loaded
