Ahoi!

I'm running two different sound cards for months now. It has never worked perfect but it worked. Now it doesn't work anymore and I cant figure out why. I think it's only a configuration issue.

The first sound card is the one installed into my note book, an intel ac97 working with the snd-intel8x0 module.
The second one is an Tascam USB-122 I got working after alot of twiddling.

Two days ago the music stopped playing without any discernible reason. After that it only played after restarting the alsasound initscript and replugging the Tascam, which I have scripted to initialize automaticaly with udev.
Now, restarting alsasound I get the following errors:

Quote:
# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: save_state:1497: No soundcards found...
* Error saving levels. [ !! ]

-d,--debug debug mode
-v,--version print version of this program

Available commands:
store <card #> save current driver setup for one or each soundcards
to configuration file
restore <card #> load current driver setup for one or each soundcards
from configuration file
names <card #> dump information about all the known present (sub-)devices
into configuration file (DEPRECATED)
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring


Doing alsaconf doesn't change anything, it only recognizes the intel card but even this doesn't work after doing alsaconf. The errors I get from the initscript didn't change either.

My /etc/modules.d/alsa after alsaconf:
Quote:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0


My /etc/asound.conf:
Quote:
pcm.Live { type hw; card Live; }
ctl.Live { type hw; card Live; }

pcm.USX2Y { type hw; card USX2Y; }
ctl.USX2Y { type hw; card USX2Y; }

pcm.!default pcm.USX2Y
ctl.!default ctl.USX2Y


Thank you for your attention!

That might be too late but do you have Realtek HD-audio codec support in your kernel?

Code:
Device Drivers —>
Sound —>
<*> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture —>
PCI devices —>
<M> Intel HD Audio
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
