------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-12 15:21 ------- When I said it was resolved, it was because I commented Peder's comment, since emu10k1 has been corrected. Please do not be upset. The SB16 PCI is not very common, so if you do not want to recompile yourself, there are not a lot of people who will be able to check if this is corrected in latest alsa. Moreover, it is really easy to do it : just decompress alsa in /usr/local/src do ./configure && make && make install and all the drivers will replace the old ones in the correct kernel directory. And coming back is just as easy as reinstalling the kernel package with urpmi --allow-force (to update to the same version). If you want to help Mandrake to correct a bug, try to report a way to correct it, please. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: As the summary states, ALSA output simply doesn't work on this card in current Cooker kernels. I expect the last ALSA update broke it (it used to work fine). The card uses the snd-ens1371 driver. Any program which attempts to output to ALSA natively freezes as soon as it attempts to play sound, and cannot be exited normally, even ctrl-c fails to work - has to be 'kill'ed. This has been verified with xmms in ALSA mode (using the xmms-alsa plugin), totem, xine with the ALSA plugin, and ogg123 (which attempts to output in ALSA mode by default). However, sound works with the ALSA driver if its OSS emulation is used - i.e., I can get sound perfectly well with any program set to output in OSS mode, using the ALSA driver. None of the programs I checked gave any error output, they just froze. This is quite a popular legacy card. Can't find anything in the ALSA mailing lists about this.
