In order to use a Promise ATA/133 controller I had to upgrade from 2.2.19 to
2.4.20-3-k7. I installed the stock Debian kernel.
Sound stopped working.
I found that alsaconfig would fail. It would *claim* to set things up, but
no sound would play and programs like xine would give errors saying that the
sound device wasn't available.
Here are alsaconfig's messages:
Running update-modules...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-3-k7/alsa/snd-vxp440.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-3-k7/alsa/snd-vxpocket.o
Loading driver...
Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.4): ens1371.
Restoring ALSA mixer settings...done.
Setting default volumes...
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1048: No soundcards found...
I tried sndconfig. It played its own sound sample fine, but then no other*
*program could play sounds, and running it gain gives the message
"An error occurred while writing the config file."
Both programs detect my Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI.
I can't get sndconfig to work again even by purging it and reinstalling. I
don't want to reboot tonight - it's late.
I'm running a freshly updated Sarge system.
I'm open to suggestions.
