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 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: IntelĀ® HD Audio Controller - Realtek codec: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/gn/gn_drive.htm) and the azx sound works fine - but then i can't get my emu10k1 card to work. fejf@fejfs:[~] > lsmod Module Size Used by nvidia 3467068 12 snd_pcm_oss 54312 0 snd_mixer_oss 20480 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_midi 8736 0 snd_emu10k1_synth 8192 0 snd_emux_synth 39168 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 8448 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 8448 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_oss 37376 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8064 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq 57104 8 snd_seq_midi,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_emu10k1 99464 3 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_rawmidi 26020 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_seq_device 8456 7 snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 71888 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_util_mem 4864 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 10244 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_azx 31672 2 snd_pcm 98052 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_azx snd_timer 26628 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 57700 22 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_azx,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 10120 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm 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 |
