The output from the command modinfo on my installation suggests there is a problem with insufficient parameters being supplied to the kernel.

Is this bug likely to have a common origin with a bug in the snd-ad1816a module? See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844959 for more information. The error reports are very similar and both drivers were authored by Massimo Piccioni. Interestingly, the user who reports the AD1816 bug has an HP Kayak desktop, a similar PC model to the one on which I am trying to install the AZT1008 soundcard. It appears Rene Herman has already being working with Bjorn Helgaas to investigate the snd-ad1816a problems, see http://linux.derkeiler.com /Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-05/msg03119.html and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/11/303 . There is also apparently one successful installation of an AZT1008 sound card using snd-azt2320 under Hardy, described briefly at http://geekqualizer.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-sound-on-old-pc- running-ubuntu.html . -- Aztec ISA sound card snd_azt2320 module load fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
