hi

just upgraded mandrake from 8.2 to 9.0....
and found out that it seems to have made my alsa all foobar.... :(

i recompiled and reinstalled alsa 0.9.rc5 after upgrading... but i dont
seem to be able to get it working.
im running a quattro usb audio unit... modprobe snd-usb-audio,
snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss all goes fine... but on opening
any sound or DVD apps i get error messages that there is no sound
support / no sound device found....

anyone got any ideas what may have happened?... is there a problem with
the supplied kernel perhaps ? it appears to be 2.4.19-16mdk

thanx

m~

note that usb audio devices default[1] to usb's audio.o module, as
lspcidrake -v should reports you.

classic bug sound tester (you need the ldetect, chkconfig, aumix and
psmisc packages):

"lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO" will tell you which driver your card use
by default

"grep snd-slot /etc/modules.conf" will tell you what driver it
currently uses

"/sbin/lsmod" will enable you to check if its module (driver) is
loaded or not

"/sbin/chkconfig --list sound" and "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa" will
tell you if sound and alsa services're configured to be run on
initlevel 3

"aumix -q" will tell you if the sound volume is muted or not

"/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" will tell which program uses the sound card.

mdk9.0 came with alsa-0.9.0-rc2.
note than snd-usb-audio code did move a lot between the various alsa
rc.



[1] device-module association[2] being made in
    /usr/share/ldetect-lst/usbtable)

[2] you can alter it through the draksound tool
