 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 2:32 pm Post subject: I have no sound card? [SOLVED?] |
 |
|
I updated alsa the other day and my init is all messed up now. It loads modules but then it says it didn't load the necessary ones. I started looking around and it is because of this:
| Code: | $ cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards --- |
The thing is I can use my sound fine. The problem is that I can't store and restore my volume because as far as alsactl is concerned I have no sound card. I am not really sure what to do. I am using the alsa-driver.

| Could you also post your lsmod output and the contents of /etc/conf.d/alsasound? |

| Ok so I wouldn't call this a fix but I have i working now. I switched from alsa-driver to the builtin kernel ones. And it works. Not sure why... |

I recall having unexplained problems with alsa-driver and then I just stopped using it, deciding that I don't necessarily need the newest sound drivers, so you aren't alone in this. I have yet to have any problems with in-kernel drivers, so you might consider it as a permanent solution (depending on your needs, I guess).
