[ ok ] * Service alsasound starting Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers. XXX write TLV... * Service alsasound started The "Could not ..." line was never seen by me before. /etc/modules.d/alsa still looks like this way: alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1724 alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 alias snd-card-2 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-slot-2 snd-card-2 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 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-2-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-2-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-2-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-2-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-2-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss options snd cards_limit=2 jakub@gentoo.org 2007-03-15 09:32:43 0000 Eh, the init script is not responsible for you sound cards order; if you need a particular order, you should do this: alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1724 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-hda-intel index=2 The message you've posted comes from rewriting this: if [[ -z "${DRIVERS}" && ! ( -d /proc/asound && -z "$(grep ' no soundcards ' /proc/asound/cards)" ) ]] ; then into if [ -z "${DRIVERS}" ] && \ ( [ ! -r /proc/asound/cards ] || grep -q ' no soundcards ' /proc/asound/cards 2>/dev/null ) ; then uberlord@gentoo.org 2007-03-15 11:33:56 0000 Meh, my bad for not testing that. Fixed in -r3. konsti@ludenkalle.de 2007-03-15 11:39:58 0000 If the line comes from rewriting stuff not having something todo than this is a funny coincidence. However I never used the index=x lines ever before. I added them and did update-modules and depmod but restarting /etc/init.d/alsasound has the wrong soundcard order since I updated this package. konsti@ludenkalle.de 2007-03-15 15:19:18 0000 All right. -r3 removes the "config not found..." line and restores my old soundcard order. Many thanks!
