Hello,

I've installed a custom kernel (3.18.1) with the ck patch and support for my hardware (including snd_oxygen for my sound card) but I'm not getting any sound output. I've tried running alsamixer, it fails with:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so
cannot open mixer: No such device or address

I'd previously tried using Pulseaudio to fix what I presume was a completely different problem, but have since removed it. Alsamixer will run as root (my user is in the audio group, however), and when I turn on the Analog Input Monitor I can hear the microphone. So, I'm presuming the sound card is working, I just can't get it to output normally. What would be the problem? Is it worth trying to get Pulse to work? How can I fix that Pulse-related error message if it isn't?

lsmod shows that snd_oxygen is in fact installed. lspci | grep Audio says the Oxygen card is found.

Thanks,
Joe
