Nice system! I'd like one very much like it myself. > Running Debian Sid with alsa 0.9.0beta10 compiled from sources > alsamixer volumes are all at 100% and unmuted > ran snddevices script in alsa-driver dir > nothing in modules.conf as of now > kernel 2.4.16 with sound compiled as module I believe this is your problem. If you are going to use the ALSA drivers, you only enable sound support in the kernel CONFIG_SOUND=y Do not add anything else. > here is what lsmod shows after first booting: > # lsmod > Module Size Used by Tainted: PF > NVdriver 718976 49 (autoclean) > parport_pc 21672 1 (autoclean) > lp 6176 0 (autoclean) > parport 25440 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] > soundcore 3588 0 (autoclean) > pwcx 87616 0 > pwc 36636 0 [pwcx] > uhci 24936 0 (unused) The above list shows you have the kernel module loaded as 'soundcore', which should not be here. > then when I do modprobe snd-card-emu10k1 I get this: > # lsmod > Module Size Used by Tainted: PF > snd-card-emu10k1 1984 0 (unused) > snd-emu10k1 55776 0 [snd-card-emu10k1] > snd-pcm 59648 0 [snd-emu10k1] > snd-timer 12608 0 [snd-pcm] > snd-ac97-codec 25088 0 [snd-emu10k1] > snd-hwdep 4736 0 [snd-emu10k1] > snd-rawmidi 14688 0 [snd-emu10k1] > snd-util-mem 1584 0 [snd-emu10k1] > snd-seq-device 4336 0 [snd-card-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] > snd 33096 0 [snd-card-emu10k1 snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm > snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi snd-util-mem snd-seq-device] > NVdriver 718976 49 (autoclean) > parport_pc 21672 1 (autoclean) > lp 6176 0 (autoclean) > parport 25440 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] > soundcore 3588 2 (autoclean) [snd] > pwcx 87616 0 > pwc 36636 0 [pwcx] > uhci 24936 0 (unused) The above list shows both the kernel sound module and the ALSA sound modules loaded...overlapping. > but I can get no sound.
