Re: [Alsa-user] Trouble setting up two sound cards in same box

[Chuck Connors]

Well it turned out that I had the two cards confused. snd-card-0 was actually the pci card and snd-card-1 was onboard.  Now I can play wav files on both /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp1 .. However, I am not able to record from /dev/dsp1 line in (the pci card).

I've checked to make sure line-in was not muted in 'alsa-mixer -c 1' . 

Any ideas why I'm not getting sound from line in?  Here's my improved modules.conf entries:

# Start

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
options snd major=116 cards_limit=2 device_gid=29 device_mode=0660

# Onboard Sound

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

# Cmedia

alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss

#Set Card 1 (Onboard Sound)

alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0

#Set Card 0 (Cmedia Pci Sound Card)

alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci index=1

# End

and my lsmod:
