Hiya list.
I've been having issues with my current linux-2.6.14.3 kernel for a
while now (random lock-ups etc), and decided about a 2 months ago to try
the 2.6.15 branch. While the kernel worked well I did have one issue
which I thought was a bug in the kernel and went back to 2.6.14.3,
however yesterday while trying the latest stable (2.6.15.5) the same
issue remains.
The "issue" I have, which is most likely easy to solve for those who
understand alsa (yeah, I'm a n00b when it comes to alsa, lol), is that
my hw:0,0 does not produce sound any more (well it does, but the volume
must be at max to hear anything very faintly), and only my hw:0,1 works
normally with these later kernels.
With =< 2.6.14 hw:0,0 and hw:0,1 both work fine, and I guess everything
uses hw:0,0 as default. I have a "VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97
Controller" (integrated sound card).
While I have no understanding what the actual difference is of having
two devices on one soundcard, I believe it to be possible to set the
default for both alsa and oss (emulation) to use the second (hw:0,1),
but for the life of me cannot work it out.
Does anyone have an idea how I can set (system-wide thus in
/etc/asound.conf) *everything* to use the hw:0,1 device, including the
simple /dev/dsp (OSS) programs (like UT2004 and Skype)?
In my /etc/modules.conf I have:
=====================================
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.10 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
=====================================
I tried in my /etc/asound.conf which only helped with xmms which uses
the "default" card, however all OSS programs still are using the hw:0,0:
=====================================
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}
=====================================
beast sound # ls -l /dev/sound/
total 0

Any pointers as to what the problem might be (very low sound in hw:0,0)
and how to switch *everything* to use hw:0,1 if hw:0,0 remains a problem
(no cure)?
Thanks.
Greetings,
Ralph
