The problem is a lockup where the sound keeps looping. The kernel log does not report anything, but: - aplay locks up when beginning to play a wav. file - xmms locks up on attempted stop or skipping back or forward (mp3) - mplayer locks up on pause (mp3) - xine locks up on start (mp3) Soundcard uses snd-via82xx driver (ALC650) 2) Module issues. Perhaps this is not a bug, but I cannot get the sound modules to autload. I use module-init-tools 0.9.12, devfs, and I have set up moprobe.devfs and modprobe.conf. I have kmod compiled in the kernel. The redhat initscripts are not turning off autoloading - other things autoload fine. Modprobe.devfs says: alias /dev/snd snd-card-0 alias /dev/snd/* /dev/snd alias /dev/sound/* /dev/sound alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 alias /dev/audio sound-slot-0 alias /dev/mixer sound-slot-0 alias /dev/dsp sound-slot-0 alias /dev/dspW sound-slot-0 alias /dev/midi sound-slot-0 Modprobe.conf says: alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx && { alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore; } remove snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx && { alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store; } Devfsd.conf says: REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660 And the modules won't load until I manually modprobe snd-via82xx. Also...on modprobe --remove snd-via82xx: [root@cobra etc]# modprobe --remove snd-via82xx alsactl: save_state:1050: No soundcards found... FATAL: Error running remove command for snd_via82xx [root@cobra etc]# Thank you for your help. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
