Hello, I am running ech in a sony vaio pcg-v505ex notebook. The system has a buildin intel8x0 sound card. My problem is that alsaconf configures correctly the card, but the configuration doesn't survives to the boot, in each boot I have to run alsaconf again. I know this problem has to do with a bug in alsaconf, and it was already discussed in this list. But the proposed solution doesn't work for me. Here are the steps I am following:
1 - Before run alsaconf, I run 'lsmod | grep snd', in order to see the modificantion done by alsaconf later. The output is snd_intel8x0m 15980 0 snd_intel8x0 30332 1 <-------------------------- snd_pcm_oss 38368 1 snd_mixer_oss 15200 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_ac97_codec 83104 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2400 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 68676 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 20996 1 snd_pcm snd 47012 7 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9248 2 snd snd_page_alloc 9640 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm as can be seen, the module snd_intel8x0 is already loaded, but it doesn't work... yet... 2 - After running alsaconf I have sound. The output for 'lsmod | grep snd' is now snd_intel8x0 30332 0 <-------------------------- snd_ac97_codec 83104 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2400 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 38368 0 snd_mixer_oss 15200 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 68676 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 20996 1 snd_pcm snd 47012 6 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9248 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9640 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm the module snd_intel8x0m has disappear, and the module snd_intel8x0 is configured as 'Used by 0', instead 'Used by 1' as before. 3 - I added snd_intel8x0 in the \etc\modules file, although I think it was not necessary, once the module is always loaded, with or withou running alsaconf. In the next boot, the result form 'lsmod | grep snd' is the same as in step 1, the configuration from alsaconf didn't survive... the module snd_intel8x0 is configured as 'Used by 1', instead of 'Used by 0', which apparently is the correct configuration... the content of the file \etc\modprobe.d\sound is alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 Any help will be very appreciated Marcelo
