I recently upgraded my MB to a Tyan Thunder K7X Pro and now I'm having problems with sound in MDK 9.1. I'm using the same sound card as before (SB live) and same MDK version (stock kernel). Here's a description of what happens:Does this MB have an onboard sound card and is it still enabled in CMOS? If so, disable it. Otherwise, you might look at /proc/interrupts and see if the sound card is using the same interrupt as some other card (most likely network or video). If it is, you might try moving it to a different slot in the computer and see if that solves it (it seems PCI cards sometimes assign interrupts based on which slot a card is in).
After a reboot sound players like xmms will lock up when attempting to play a sound file. I can get sound to work by killing the app and kmix, restarting alsad and soundd, then restarting kmix. Strangely, kmix has the master and PCM controls muted when I restart it at this point. Unmute and sound works with one glitch: If I try to adjust the volume from xmms, the sound stops. Twiddle the PCM control in kmix and sound comes back.
Any clues as to what might cause this strange behavior? Would a kernel upgrade fix this?
