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.
