Hi Bob. The proviso I would put on this is that on some distro's you do need to have the options lines as below in /etc/modprobe.conf or wherever they go. options snd-<your_soundcard> index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 Fedora Core requires this, and IIRC Debian also. Slackware 10.0 using Audioslacks mm kernel set things up without this requirement. It's a bit hit and miss, but something to be aware of

And what is > deciding to load this anyway? Is this a bug in alsa or in the kernel? Both "Audio" and "Usb_midi" are OSS modules. OSS is sort of deprecated now, and these modules probably should no longer be showing up in the kernel. Quite why "Usb_midi" takes precedence and loads before snd_usb-audio has a chance to get in, I don't know. perhaps someone else would explain that one. We have the Alsa-oss module which acts as an emulation layer for any audio apps that still need to use OSS, so the OSS audio module is definately no longer needed. > > Again, thanks so much to everyone for their help on this.

Everyone throws a bit in, and it all works out well in the end. Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
