 Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:02 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Sound card won't show up any more |
 |
|
Tuxonice-2.6.30-r5 sources. Yesterday, when I booted, everything was fine. Today, my sound card won't show up in alsamixer or gnome's volume control (though I see it in lspci). The driver is built as a module, as is ALSA. When I modprobe the sound card's driver, I get no errors, but the card doesn't show up in alsamixer any more.
I don't know if it helps solve the problem, but when I booted today, I tried resuming from a tuxonice hibernate image. This failed. Also, my tv tuner card shows up like usual in alsamixer and gnome's volume control.

| I replace my kernel recently, and haven't rebuilt hal since. gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4 for tuxonice-sources-2.6.30-r5. But I'm surprised the sound card worked the first couple times I booted and unhibernated with the newer kernel. I'll rebuild hal and see if that helps. |

| The os may be treating the tv tuner card as a sound card. |

I'm seeing the same problem after moving from 2.6.28 to 2.6.30.
I even tried a fresh .config and vanilla kernel, but the issue is the same.
Do you also see 'PCI INT A Disabled' in dmesg output for your device? Mine is a CMI8788 card.
I've tried recompiling udev and hal, but the card will not show up in /proc/asound/ after loading the module for it. The strange thing is that my USB headset works just fine.
I haven't tried it yet, but moving the card to a different PCI slot may get it to show up. |

Thank you: rebuilding hal (then rebooting) worked.

It is, because the tv tuner card has an audio input as well as other things.

This might be the answer if I were complaining that my tv tuner card was being used as the first device (and in fact was the answer when I was complaining that my now disabled onboard audio was first instead of my PCI sound card), but I don't see how this fits the situation I described where my PCI sound card wasn't showing up at all.

I have a ca0106. I didn't see -anything- in my dmesg for this card when I was having problems. |
