Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-4 If a logitech pro 9000 webcam (with built in microphone) is plugged in then the Intel motherboard sound card will randomly fail on boot. This will appear in dmesg [ 10.698812] cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-0), error: -16 [ 10.698812] Intel ICH: probe of 0000:00:1e.2 failed with error -12
Solution. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add this to the file # Keep webcam from being loaded first options snd_usb_audio index=-2 In my opinion this extra line should be included in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base by default as it is a fair assumption that a USB microphone / webcam should not take precedence over a normal sound card. thanks, Philip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
