[vox-tech] alsa configuration
list, I have been trying to get the sound to work in my computer. At boot when the ALSA mixer settings would be loaded, it fails and says to manually use alsactl restore. When I do that, it says alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found When I google on that, peoples problems mostly seem to be conflicts between OSS and ALSA when they have both installed at the same time. As far as I know, the only OSS stuff I have is the emulation in ALSA. Here is what lsmod says: Module Size Used by ds 15784 4 thermal10352 0 fan 2796 0 button 4696 0 processor 14160 1 thermal ac 3308 0 battery 7660 0 snd_es1938 21832 0 snd_pcm_oss59912 0 snd_mixer_oss 19904 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm99492 2 snd_es1938,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 9768 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib 10112 1 snd_es1938 snd_timer 24644 2 snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep 8416 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_mpu401_uart 7104 1 snd_es1938 snd_rawmidi22784 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7496 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd59972 10 snd_es1938,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 7328 1 snd 8139too20736 0 yenta_socket 18656 1 pcmcia_core62376 2 ds,yenta_socket uhci_hcd 30348 0 af_packet 16872 0 So what should I do?

Re: [vox-tech] alsa configuration
What distribution are you using? In gentoo I have to edit /etc/modules.d/alsa for my specific sound card. Maybe you have a similar config file.

Nick ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech I had a problem with this too. In my case I needed to tell discover not to load the OSS modules for my card. I did this like: echo skip i810_audio /etc/discover.conf Maybe someone else on this list can tell you the driver to skip Jay ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
Re: [vox-tech] alsa configuration
list, My distribution is Debian. I found a page on the ALSA website for my sound chip with some lines to go in my /etc/modules.conf: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-es1938 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 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 Apparently with Debian they are supposed to be put into /etc/modutils/file and then the update-modules utility is used to insert them into /etc/modules.conf. I also have two files about sound in /etc/modprobe.d/ , ./alsa-base and ./sound: gwaihir2:/etc/modprobe.d# cat ./alsa-base install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss install snd-mixer /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer /sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss gwaihir2:/etc/modprobe.d# cat ./sound alias snd-card-0 snd-es1938 alias sound-slot-0 snd-es1938 . When I run alsaconf, it says it has detected my card and is going to rewrite /etc/modprobe.d/sound , but then there is a message on stderr saying: /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found I am sort of confused about the differences between /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modutils/ . Are they just different ways that different distros do the same thing and I have some combination of both? I imagine that that could be causing my problem. If so, what is the solution? Thanks.
