 |
|
Hello all,
So this is a bit of a weird issue. When I run alsaconf it is able to detect my soundcards, the kernel modules are all loaded, yet when I start alsasound it is not able to find the soundcards:
| Code: | * Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-card-1 ... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: load_state:1652: Cannot find soundcard '0'...
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring
alsactl: load_state:1652: Cannot find soundcard '1'...
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring [ ok ] |
Below are the soundcards as seen by lspci:
| Code: | 00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
00:10.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster |
Below are all of the audio kernel modules (as shown by lsmod):
| Code: | snd_opl3_synth 7954 0
snd_seq_midi_emul 3360 1 snd_opl3_synth
snd_seq_midi 3228 0
snd_seq_oss 19731 0

Below is the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf:
| Code: | # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 snd #soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ca0106
alias snd-card-1 snd-cmipci

options snd-cmipci index=1
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=2 |

Finally figured out what the problem was. For some reason udev was no longer included in the default run level. Once I added the service and started it, everything seems to be working fine.
