Description humillo 2003-08-22 03:30:04 UTC

The init script should load snd-seq-oss automatically if detected. 



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alsa-driver alsa-utils
2. /etc/init/alsasound start
3. cat /proc/asound/seq/drivers && ls -l /dev/seq*
Actual Results:  
(none)

Expected Results:  
After modprobing snd-seq-oss I get:

snd-seq-oss,loaded,0

Comment 1 humillo 2003-08-28 08:33:28 UTC

Following instructions from alsa-project.org, Ive added this line in /etc/modules.d/alsa:

options snd-intel8x0 mpu_port=0x330

Now the init script is loading things differently, the output is:

# cat /proc/asound/seq/drivers && ls -l /dev/seq*
snd-seq-midi,loaded,1
ls: /dev/seq*: No such file or directory

The sequencer is still not loading, but Ive got the midi device working now.

initscript has now been updated into portage. 

give it 15 minutes, emerge sync and then copy /usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsasound to /etc/init.d/alsasound and try again please.

Comment 3 humillo 2003-09-04 03:49:56 UTC

With the new init script I get the midi device and the sequencer. 
 
thanks!
