Terratec DMX (Newbie)

Terratec DMX (Newbie)

[Chris Wenn]

Hey there.

Soory about the cross-posting, but I'm hoping someone can give me a 
couple of pointers. I have a Terratec SoundSystem DMX (that's a Maestro 
2E card) which I can't get fired up using either alsaconf or by hand 
(I'm running the debian packages of alsa 0.9.0beta10) When I configure 
the card in alsaconf, I get through the first part ok (though I'm 
guessing at the values for configuration), until it's time to load up 
the mixer progs, at which point it crashes out saying:

# Loading driver:
# Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0beta10): no sound cards
# defined.
# Setting the PCM volume to 100% and the Master output volume tp 50%
# amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
# Could not initialize the mixer, the card was probably not detected
# correctly.

If I do the configuration by hand in /etc/modules.conf, I get an error 
saying that 'parm_snd_pcm_channels_p' and 'parm_snd_pcm_channels_c' do 
not exist (sorry, I don't have the exact output to hand)

If someone could mail me the correct values and a quick how-to on 
getting the damn thing fired up, I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks
Chris

these module parameters are obsolete on 0.9.0 (they are for 0.5.x
drivers).  sorry if you referred to INSTALL in alsa-driver.  the
document was wrong.  now it's fixed.

please remove all module options from snd-es1968 (except for
snd_index).  it should work as default.

also, please make sure that the version of your alsa-utils / alsa-lib
is really 0.9.0.


HTH.

ciao,

Takashi
