Could anyone from sound herd confirm .asoundrc is needed? the doc @ alsa-project.org suggests that .asoundrc is not needed for ALSA to work properly. @Roland: what version of ALSA are you using? -- From: Roland Schlager <rolandundschweizer@subnet.at> To: erwin@gentoo.org Subject: addition to the alsa-howto Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 10:26:11 +0200 hello! i had to figure out that it is mandatory on my (tricky) toshiba tecra 8100 notebook,to create /etc/alsa.d directory manualy and to put .asoundrc there,otherwise all you get from the card is cracling instead of sound.the soundcard in the unit is a yamaha ymf 744. i ask you to add this information to the howto,because it makes life for others proably easier. thanks in advance,hang loose,roland
i'm using kernel sources 2.6.8-gentoo-r3,so my alsa version is the one witch comes with that kernel.with the discibed changes sound works fine staight after boot up.
/etc/alsa.d isn't even the place for it if you were to use it unless this has been added recently... If you did want a non-default mapping you would put it in /etc/asound.conf or ${HOME}/.asoundrc Roland, where did you find the documentation telling youu to create a /etc/alsa.d directory. I'm curious if this is the new way and /etc/asound.conf is deprecated.
bug timed out.. resolving as "NEEDINFO"
