Hello all,
The good news first: ALSA runs on my system. What's not so good is that I believe for the wrong reasons. During boot I see a line 'insmod snd-emu10k1' and two lines with some IRQ stuff. Later in the boot process ALSA says ALSA driver (version 0.9.0beta12) is already running. So far so good, alsaplayer plays everything fine. There's a few problems, though: - I have to run alsactl manually to restore the mixer settings - /etc/init.d/alsa stop works fine, /etc/init.d/alsa start, however doesn't. It says 'Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0beta12): (card-emu10k1)' but no modules are loaded. - Besides a reboot, I haven't found a way to restart ALSA drivers, once /etc/init.d/alsa stop has been called. When I insmod snd-emu10k1 manually I get tons of unresolved symbols. I have a pretty standard PIII system with Intel i815 chipset. My sound card is a Soundblaster live! value. I am running debian/unstable with a 2.4.18 kernel patched for xfs. I use devfs and have sndcore compiled into the kernel (no module). Some configuration files: lsmod output (as long as ALSA is running. After /etc/init.d/alsa stop there is nothing here anymore): Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-emu10k1 54592 1 snd-pcm 48032 1 [snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 10112 0 [snd-pcm] snd-hwdep 3680 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 12256 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 3968 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-util-mem 1200 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 22304 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd 25224 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-util-mem snd-ac97-codec] This corresponds to my /etc/modutils/alsa (which I created there myself): alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 Which in turn is exactly represented in /etc/modules.conf: ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/alsa alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 Any ideas?
