Hi,
The --help option says that I can get a log file from alsaconf using
the -L option. If I look in /tmp while alsaconf is running, I see some
files, but when alsaconf has finished, the files are gone...
[mark@Wizard mark]$ ls /tmp
alsaconf.3nMgvm alsaconf.txNTFm ksocket-mark orbit-mark
ssh-XX7Jn9me
alsaconf.Ef6KCm kde-mark mcop-mark ssh-XX1CS1IB
ssh-XXIbrHpS
[mark@Wizard mark]$ ls /tmp
kde-mark ksocket-mark mcop-mark orbit-mark ssh-XX1CS1IB
ssh-XX7Jn9me ssh-XXIbrHpS
[mark@Wizard mark]$
Is this file possibly put somewhere else? I'm trying to figure out why
alsaconf is complaining about this card.
Loading driver..
Starting sound driver snd-hdsp

Now ALSA is ready to use.

Currently alsaconf finds the RME, attempts to install the drivers, and then the drivers fail saying they cannot find the cards. I had hoped that possibly the log file would give me more information on why. I suppose it will not if it's only for ISA devices. (BTW - alsaconf does find this Via chip and can configure it correctly.) I think that the --help for alsaconf should make this more clear. Currently it says: -L|--log logging on /tmp/alsaconf.log No idea it only covers ISA devcies. OK, so I start with a clean /etc/modules.conf looking like this: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 bcm4400 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci lspci -v shows: <SNIP> 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx, Inc.

It shows the hdsp and the via82xx. I choose the hdsp and get the following: Loading driver..

After updating firmware for the card, the alsaconf program I had for the 2.4.19-1.ll kernel no longer recognized the card at all and cannot write anything in modules.conf. I have a new PC in my studio, using a newer kernel from the Planet not released widely yet. (2.4.20-1.12.ll.acpi) The kernel is dated Sunday, Feb. 2nd. The alsa RPM is dated Feb. 18th and appears to be alsa 0.9.0-45, if that makes sense. I understand some of this might be Fernando's numbering system for the Planet. The alsaconf that comes with this kernel recognizes the card, but the driver doesn't load and says there's no card. Chicken & egg problem apparently... Thanks for any help you can provide.

It makes sense to me, however, since I use the PlanetCCRMA flow, and alsa is supplied as an RPM, I have no way (that I know of) to just get a new driver, compile it and try it out. I need a new RPM, I think. Thanks for the ideas! Cheers, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
