Monday ,18.03.2003,1300GMT Well, despite best efforts my sound system is less that stable. Provided that I shut down completely and reboot ,CD Player OK. Sometimes X-CD-Roast sound player OK, most of the time not. If I automatically reboot ,without pause, NOTHING. Taskbar ControlCenter -Sound reports:- ALSA v0.5.11 emulation code (my sound driver ) Card Config VIA8233 at 0xec00,irq10 Audio device 0:VIA8233(Duplex) Synth dev. : Not enabled in Config Midi Dev. : Not enabled in Config Times: 7:sytem timer Mixers:0:Advance logic ALC200/200p lsmod reports:- [root@localhost root]# lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_generic 19616 0 (autoclean) slhc 5136 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] snd-seq-oss 28944 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3216 0 [snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 41856 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-seq-device 3984 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq] snd-pcm-oss 18624 0 (unused) snd-pcm-plugin 15792 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4800 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-via8233 5952 0 snd-pcm 31616 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-card-via8233] snd-timer 8528 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 25056 0 [snd-card-via8233] snd-mixer 24544 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ac97-codec] snd 35248 1 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-via8233 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 4208 4 [snd] usb-uhci 21232 0 (unused) printer 5920 0 usb-ohci 18880 0 (unused) usbcore 50624 1 [usb-uhci printer usb-ohci] nls_iso8859-1 2880 4 (autoclean) ntfs 50320 4 (autoclean) sg 28624 0 (autoclean) (unused) sr_mod 14944 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport_pc 20240 1 (autoclean) lp 5808 1 (autoclean) parport 24768 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] sd_mod 12320 0 (unused) My /etc/modules.conf:- alias net-pf-4 ipx pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi above snd-card-via8233 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-via8233 alias usb-interface1 usb-uhci alias usb-interface2 usb-uhci alias usb-interface3 usb-uhci #alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 #alias /dev/audio /dev/sound #alias /dev/mixer /dev/sound #alias /devdsp /dev/sound #alias /dev/dspW /dev/sound #alias /dev/midi /dev/sound # ALSA native device support #alias char-major-116 snd #option snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via8233 #next line might need to have snd_id,if so... #option snd-card-interwave snd_index=0 #see below #OSS/Free setup #alias char-major-14 soundcore #alias sound-siot-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 As you can see I have been messing about experimenting with different options, each of which I lifted verbatum from various odd websites. Nothing I do gives me a stable intergrated sound system.I feel sure there is nothing wrong with the ALSA sound driver, no, it's a configuration problem. It's a matter of getting all the various components to communicate properly with one another. ARTS is disabled. I think I have reached an impasse , I don't feel I understand all these various commands and what they are supposed to do eg. urpmi slocate slocate -u -c slocate update modprobe-card-via 8233 ntsysv pnpdump isapnp I need a bit more imput , to sort out my uderstanding , to progress in a more logical way. I'm just fumbling around hoping to come across the answer, when an application of logic and understanding is required. can anyone help. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
