Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the reply Dave but it seems in this kernel version the modules are not even loading., I just get a failed message after /etc/init.d/alsa start. I do not see any info using modinfo, as I believe the modules are not even there?
Here is modinfo on the snd module sarge:~# modinfo snd filename: /lib/modules/2.4.25alsa3/alsa/snd.o description: "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture driver for soundcards." author: "Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" license: "GPL" parm: major int, description "Major # for sound driver." parm: cards_limit int, description "Count of auto-loadable soundcards." parm: device_mode int, description "Device file permission mask for devfs." sarge:~# Another thing is I cannot see where to engage debug on the alsa module? There is a reference to it when one does the dpkg install on a web page but I do not see that option when I install it from the testing (sarge) apt site. I find the lack of any errors being generated in any logs that I look at disconcering, not sure how to turn them on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
