I'm using a ~x86 system that has been working great for a few months. But. When i upgraded to alsa-driver 1.0.8 (via emerge -u world) i only got output in my left speaker. I've tried to remerge alsa-driver, alsa-libs, alsa-headers and alsa-utils but still no go. I'm using kernel 2.6.9. My soundcard is a builtin VIA82xx (VIA8235 to be exact). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Well, merge alsa-driver 1.0.8 Actual Results: No output on the right channel. Expected Results: Output on both channels. metroid [~] $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.9 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Oct 16 2004, 22:14:12)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.22 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X aac alsa apm artworkextra avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cscope cups divx4linux dvd dvdr encode esd f77 fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gnutls gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla moznomail mozsvg mozxmlterm mpeg ncurses nethack nls ntpl nvidia oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline ruby samba sdl slang spell ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY metroid [~] $
It seems that it worked because of a bug in the previous version. I had the plug to the speakers in the wrong outlet on the soundcard. It gave me real sound on 1.0.7 but not on 1.0.8.
