I have 2 Debian unstable boxes with the same sound card which is the: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07) Both boxes using kernel-image-2.6.9-1-386.
The work box has no volume control, but base and treble control works. So it is stuck on one volume level. The home box is just fine with all volume controls. I have used alsamixer, kmix, and aumix on both boxes. Same problem booting into either KDE or GNOME. On the work box with no volume control problem, snd_pcm_oss has a value of "1" in the "used by" column which I think is the problem. Also, snd_emu10k1 has a value of "3" for some reason. How do I go about figuring this out? Searching the web tells me that the OSS drivers are grabbing the soundcard first. Below is the relevant lsmod info. Thans, Andy A quick summary of the lsmod diff of the alsa stuff is this: /home/andy# diff home work 4c4 < snd_emu10k1 80008 2 --- > snd_emu10k1 80008 3 6c6 < snd_pcm_oss 47400 0 --- > snd_pcm_oss 47400 1 17c17 < soundcore 9696 2 snd --- > soundcore 9696 3 snd Here is the FULL lsmod for both boxes: ------------------------------------------------------------ HOME (this box is working fine) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_seq_oss 29696 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7424 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 46480 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event radeon 117860 2 ipv6 227968 10 lp 10280 0 mousedev 11032 2 tsdev 7360 0 joydev 9408 0 usbhid 29248 0 ohci_hcd 19204 0 usbcore 104676 4 usbhid,ohci_hcd eepro100 28172 0 sworks_agp 8864 0 agpgart 31656 1 sworks_agp pcspkr 3688 0 psmouse 19208 0 floppy 54864 0 parport_pc 32192 1 parport 37192 2 lp,parport_pc evdev 9088 0 e100 31744 0 mii 4736 2 eepro100,e100 emu10k1_gp 3840 0 gameport 4608 1 emu10k1_gp snd_emu10k1 80008 2 snd_rawmidi 22820 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm_oss 47400 0 snd_mixer_oss 16640 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 85256 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 23172 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_seq_device 7816 3 snd_seq_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 61520 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_page_alloc 9608 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 4480 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 9092 1 snd_emu10k1 snd 50276 13 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hwdep soundcore 9696 2 snd capability 4744 0 commoncap 7040 1 capability ide_cd 38176 0 cdrom 35996 1 ide_cd rtc 12088 0 ext3 108520 2 jbd 55704 1 ext3 ide_generic 1536 0 serverworks 12180 1 ide_disk 17792 4 ide_core 128112 4 ide_cd,ide_generic,serverworks,ide_disk sd_mod 16656 0 ata_piix 8580 0 libata 39428 1 ata_piix scsi_mod 115532 2 sd_mod,libata unix 25780 272 fbcon 35136 0 font 8448 1 fbcon vesafb 6816 0 cfbcopyarea 3968 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3072 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3584 1 vesafb -------------------------------------------------------- WORK (this box has NO volume level control) sockeye:/home/andy# lsmod Module Size Used by snd_seq_oss 29696 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7424 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 46480 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event apm 19948 1 ipv6 227968 8 af_packet 20744 2 emu10k1_gp 3840 0 gameport 4608 1 emu10k1_gp snd_emu10k1 80008 3 snd_rawmidi 22820 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm_oss 47400 1 snd_mixer_oss 16640 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 85256 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 23172 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_seq_device 7816 3 snd_seq_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 61520 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_page_alloc 9608 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 4480 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 9092 1 snd_emu10k1 snd 50276 13 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hwdep soundcore 9696 3 snd 3c59x 37032 0 tsdev 7360 0 mousedev 11032 2 joydev 9408 0 usbhid 29248 0 uhci_hcd 29200 0 usbcore 104676 4 usbhid,uhci_hcd pci_hotplug 30512 0 intel_agp 20512 1 agpgart 31656 1 intel_agp pcspkr 3688 0 psmouse 19208 0 floppy 54864 0 parport_pc 32192 0 parport 37192 1 parport_pc evdev 9088 0 capability 4744 0 commoncap 7040 1 capability ide_cd 38176 0 cdrom 35996 1 ide_cd rtc 12088 0 ext3 108520 2 jbd 55704 1 ext3 ide_generic 1536 0 piix 12320 1 ide_disk 17792 4 ide_core 128112 4 ide_cd,ide_generic,piix,ide_disk unix 25780 326 fbcon 35136 0 font 8448 1 fbcon vesafb 6816 0 cfbcopyarea 3968 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3072 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3584 1 vesafb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
