Re: [Cooker] alsa sound empty on all noice

2002-01-28 Thread Guillaume Rousse

Ainsi parlait Borsenkow Andrej :
  Looking into log, i found a maybe-related error message:
  devfsd[68] error calling symlink in GLOBAL

 Well it may be related

 Edit rc.sysinit, call devfsd with -t 2 option (should be enough); look
 in messages what happens with /dev/snd. Send me messages. Send me ls -lR
 /lib/dev-state as well.
Here you have.
From what appears here, it seems alsa is started just before devfs copy 
previously saved links. Also, the previous error message is gone.
Notice however that adding the -t 2 option to devfsd invocation, which seems 
only to be a log verbosity level from man page, triggers an error message 
during boot, right after loopback filesystem mounting, which is not present 
in /var/log/messages:
running devfs acction; devfsd: no process killed

 It needs to be done on startup to be sure to catch the error.

 I repeat - it works here. I would be happy to help but I have zero
 problems with stock kernels. I do have problems with kernels I compile
 but that's different story.
That's my case also (self-compiled kernel)

 All sound is gone from both alsa and sound in KDE. Is this related to the 
 mail in this list?

It is a shame you don't give any details.

I got the same events on a custom kernel. 2.4.18-pre7

Lost alsa on devfs for emu10k1. So I choose to use the creative driver
again.

When I enabled ALSA I found that output channel was simply turned off
(muted). Fire up KDE mixer and check if sound output is enabled. 

That is for SB Live! dunno if it depends.

The main problem is to find out *which* channel is output channel :) No
joke - the titles do not say anything useful.

 Groetjes, Han.
I gave an install report in * [Cooker] 1.634 - Install report, guran

where I started my noice

In, the following I tested more, * [Cooker] On sound, guran

I followed up with, * [Cooker] alsa  sound empty on all noice

and later, * [Cooker] Alsa sound fine in gnome, guran

I give up

Don't :-) I think you have the same problem as me, and i still didn't managed 
to fix it. Exact symptoms are:
- /dev/dsp doesn't exit error message when entering a new KDE session
- fixed by restarting alsa  artsd
- devfs box

I already submitted this problem to the list also, and it seems to be linked 
to devfsd management of links state. Andrew and Fabrice have suggested me to 
clean /lib/dev-state before any upgrade of kernel/devfsd/initiscript package, 
but that is not enough. I cleaned /lib/dev-state before rebooting into new 
kernel, but problem still there.

Looking into log, i found a maybe-related error message:
devfsd[68] error calling symlink in GLOBAL

packages installed :
initscripts-6.4.2-16mdk
kernel-source-1-1mdk ?!

As my box can have sound in gnome but not in KDE, I think that the mail KDE 
problems ought to be tested.

Thanks for your answer

It is probably my old ISA card a SB AWE64. I will have to buy a new one.
