I've been unable to get alsa working on my Woody installation. Here's what I've done so far:
* installed/compiled alsa-source * run alsaconf to configure my sound card * run update-modules to update modules.conf * cat /proc/interrupts to make sure I don't have an IRQ conflict (I don't) * looked at an identical machine (Dell Optiplex GX1) to make sure IRQ/DMA, etc settings are correct * lsmod shows that all the drivers are loaded * /etc/init.d/alsa restart works fine with alsa reporting no errors In my syslog, I see the following error message: Oct 10 22:49:09 z3 kernel: Trying to free free IRQ7 Oct 10 22:49:48 z3 kernel: ALSA mpu401_uart.c:401: unable to grab IRQ 7 Oct 10 22:49:48 z3 kernel: ALSA card-cs4236.c:493: CS4236+: MPU401 not detected However, lsmod shows me that snd-mpu401_uart is loaded as a module and cat /proc/interrupts shows that it has IRQ 7 all to itself. If I try to use alsactl to create my asound.conf file, I get the following error message: alsactl: SND CTL open error: Sound protocol is not compatible I am completely baffled -- I would really appreciate any insight folks might have. Thanks. --kurt
