Re: Is it OK to remove alsa-base after Kernel 2.6.8?

2006-06-05 Thread Dominique Brazziel
Addendum:  The PCM volume setting in
gnome-volume-control was not retained after each clip
after removing alsa-base and alsa-utils.  It was
necessary to reinstall those packages in order to get
alsactl, which saves the state of the sound card.  :-(

But, a fresh install after purge got rid of the
annoying FATAL error message(s).  :-)

Re: Is it OK to remove alsa-base after Kernel 2.6.8?

2006-05-31 Thread Dominique Brazziel
I have alsa as module in the kernel and selected
Crystal Logic CS46XX as the driver in the .config.  I
think it is OK, I purged 
alsa-base and alsa-utils but was able to play
streaming audio.  

I had read that Alsa was included in the 2.6.8 kernel
so 
I think this is OK to do.

Thanks.

I don't know if sound works without it, but I do know that I don't have
problems with it installed on 2.6.17-rc3 -- do you have the support for
your actual card either as a module or built-in?  what does 'modprobe -v
snd-' give you?

Is it OK to remove alsa-base after Kernel 2.6.8?

2006-05-30 Thread Dominique Brazziel
I'm trying to get rid of modprobe error messages
(FATAL:  Error trying to install sound_slot_1) and
think it has to do with the file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.  I configured 
a custom-built 2.6.8 kernel to have modular alsa
support
and have it working correctly with the one sound card
I have installed.

Thanks in advance for clearing this up.
