About a year ago, I installed a SB AWE64 Gold sound card as the second sound card on a lenny system. It was rather difficult to get going and resulted in a few questions to this list, etc, but I finally got it running which in the Linux world means that you get a SB16 out of it which is okay with me.
I upgraded the system to Debian Squeeze and the AWE64 is dead again and I am running out of things to try. If you list /proc/asound, the only sound card on the system is card0 which is a CS4237B which is okay as card0 and which also seems to work as it did before the upgrade. The SB16/AWE64 shows up in the syslog during boot just after the CS4237 so it doesn't vanish totally, but I bet there is a piece of firmware missing because it is so absolutely dead after that one little mention. The kernel is linux 2.6.32-586 and there are some modules whose names start with sb16 /usr/include/sound/sb16_csp.h /usr/share/doc/alsa-firmware-loaders/sb16-csp /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-csp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-dsp.ko /sys/module/snd/holders/snd_sb16_csp /sys/module/snd/holders/snd_sb16_dsp /sys/module/snd_pcm/holders/snd_sb16_dsp /sys/module/snd_hwdep/holders/snd_sb16_csp /sys/module/snd_sb_common/holders/snd_sb16_csp /sys/module/snd_sb_common/holders/snd_sb16_dsp /sys/module/snd_sb16_csp /sys/module/snd_sb16_dsp In an earlier posting, I mentioned that on one ocasion, audio at the wrong speed was coming out of the SB16 when it should have been found at the output of the CS4237. I then discovered that the file libmtp7.rules should have been in /etc/udev/rules.d but wasn't and when I put it there, the CS4327 came back to life and is as good as ever. During the time when the SB16 was acting as the primary sound card, a listing of /proc/asound showed a SB16 as the one and only sound card. Any ideas as to what I am still missing? Thank you.
