 Posted: Sat May 26, 2007 9:08 pm Post subject: [alsa] devices in random order |
 |
|
Hi, I've got two audio devices (three, in the matter of fact, but one is unused/unconfigured). Now I've got the problem, that they seem to get loaded in random order. Most of the time device A (becomes hw:0) comes before device B (becomes hw:1), although device B has index 0 in /etc/modules.d/alsa and device A index 1. Nevertheless sometimes they swap (on boot). The funny thing is that this only happens on boot, not when I do: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsasound restart |
By now I get over it by adding this line to my /etc/conf.d/local.start. But this means alsa is somehow started two times and once stopped at boot.
Did you have such a problem? Do you know any less dirty way to get over it?

Strange I had that problem before using the "index" parameter but now that I do
my devices are "fixed" for good. Here is my /etc/modules.d/alsa in case it helps
you figure out what your problem is | Code: | # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `modules-update' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
alias snd-card-1 snd-cmipci
alias sound-slot-1 snd-cmipci
options snd-via82xx index=0

Well, it must be it. Didn't yet tested it but I believe it will do (what otherwise would the option index mean  ).
Thanks very much  |
