Which alsa driver (version) are you using?

[Comment 2 gentoobugs 2005-09-03 05:54:38 UTC]

[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.9a  +nls 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/alsa-oss-1.0.8-r1  0 kB 

hope that helps

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-09-03 05:57:09 UTC]

In-kernel drivers or alsa-driver ? 
Which version? 
Have you tried alsa-oss 1.0.9? 
 

[Comment 4 gentoobugs 2005-09-03 06:59:20 UTC]

in-kernel

no i haven't tried alsa-oss 1.0.9

i had a pretty simple setup but wanted to listen to music while running skype
going through
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix
i removed the oss modules from the kernel and installed alsa-oss
it worked with mpg321 but didn't with skype so i emerged
emul-linux-x86-soundlibs and ever since i get the oopses

Please try and reproduce on gentoo-sources-2.6.13

[Comment 6 gentoobugs 2005-09-04 11:04:23 UTC]

I installed 2.6.13 after that I had to compile my soundcard driver into the
kernel or alsa would not detect the card and it had some complaints when
restoring the mixer
but:
everything works now
I also reemerged the soundlibs but still everything seems to be playing as it should
except skype which only finds /dev/dsp1 when started with aoss which is not in
use - but  I can't blame you for that so I guess we're done here :)

Sounds good, thanks for getting back to us
