i'm using the onboard azx codec (intel 915pgl board) + an emu10k1 soundcard. the azx codec was detected but i couldn't get sound out of it with alsa-1.0.6a so i tried to upgrade to 1.0.7 - after reboot the following happened: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Loading ALSA drivers ... * Loading: snd-azx ... * [ ok ] * Loading: snd-emu10k1 ... * [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss ... * [ ok ] * Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...

what do you mean by alsa-1.0.6a and alsa-1.0.7? Please be specific as there are multiple alsa packages. What version of the drivers do you have (and from kernel or media-sound/alsa-driver)?
i use a non-patched kerne.org-2.6.9 kernel (compiled without alsa-support: [x] sound card support [ ] alsa support [ ] oss support ) with the media-sound/alsa-driver packages (kernel alsa is far away from azx as far as i got into it) with alsa-1.0.7 i mean ~x86 packages: -> media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.7 -> media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.7 -> media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.7 -> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.7 with alsa-1.0.6a i mean ~x86 packages: -> media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.6a -> media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.6a -> media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.6 -> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.6
ok... some changes have been made to the alsasound init script recently which might have caused snd-emu10k1-synth to NOT load in 1.0.6a. I want to first make sure that isn't the culprit... can you go back down to alsa-drivers-1.0.6a (you don't need to change your other package versions...) and test if the oops occurs?
as 1.0.7 didn't work i instandly switched back to 1.0.6a (all alsa-packages) and it works fine - only problem i can't get sound out of my azx onboard soundcard (even if the system regocnizes it and i can use it as ouput device i hear nothing and only get 2 mixer-entries in alsamixer ;). despite of that i can use the drivers from intel (Audio: Intel

while searching for the intel download link i stumbled across this alsa-user thread: it seams as this is the same problem with the same chip on a slightly different mainboard :P http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5891027&forum_id=1751
ok... since this is a bit too complex for me to debug (as I don't have the hardware... my emu10k1 is working fine for me...), I'm going to suggest following this up with upstream developers. File a bug report on ALSA's bug tracker, and respond to that alsa-user thread. Please let me know the URL of the bug report so I can add myself to the CC list and get a fix in once it's ready. Make sure to report the revision of your emu10k1 board. Look for something like this in /proc/pci: Bus 2, device 12, function 0: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 4). IRQ 3. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=2.Max Lat=20. I/O at 0xd400 [0xd43f]. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
*** Bug 71727 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
i just want to leave a message that the alsa-*-1.0.8_rc1 ebuilds fixes this issue for my box. both cards work fine and the azx got 10 mixer chans instead of 2 when using 1.0.6x
