It seems to me that you need to go into your BIOS settings at startup and tell the device to use an irq line that's not already in use by some other device. Can you please let me know if this works? The ALSA CS5530 driver is one that I ported from Alan's OSS Kahlua driver, so there may be some things that I've missed. If the above advice doesn't work, please confirm whether or not the device is functioning correctly in your current set up with Alan's original OSS driver.

Re: CS5530 Alsa driver fails
the VGA video. If your box has VSA2 then VSA2 firmware has some kind of hooks to allow a native sound driver to take over and to reroute the interrupts without SB emulation. I don't have the docs for VSA2 but the horribly big natsemi provided audio driver does show how to do it. I wouldn't mind porting VSA2 support to ALSA. I just don't have test hardware. Do you happen to know any examples of hardware that run VSA2 firmware or is it just a case of a firmware update? Alan Thanks, Ash -- We've Got Your Name at http://www.mail.com!

Re: Is it time for remove (crap) ALSA from kernel tree ?
kloczek, The fact that it is now open source does mean that it's a suitable replacement. If you actually want a productive discussion, you'd be better off making an attempt at describing exactly _why_ ALSA is 'crap' and how in your opinion OSS overcomes ALSA's shortfalls. IMHO, it would be far more realistic and managable to look at the OSS codebase and use it to make improvements to ALSA. I'm looking into one or two issues myself and I've mentioned looking at the OSS code for possible improvements on the alsa-devel list. I think it's generally agreed that OSS can't do much at all that ALSA doesn't already do. Sure, if you've been smoking crack, you might want to rip out ALSA and replace it with OSS to gain some minor functionality but you'd also lose functionality in the process. Unless you can describe how the actual architecture of ALSA is inferior and not just complain about some particular device not being fully supported, the best idea is clearly to port any lacking functionality from OSS -> ALSA. In the case that you can actually provide valid reasons for ALSA's inferiority, I shall respectfully eat my hat :) Either way, have bug reports been filed for areas of ALSA that you are unhappy with?
