Exactly that's why I compile nearly everything as modules :-) The other reason is that the turn-around times for driver hacking are *much* smaller (until you managed to code a bug which kills your box...). > Perhaps the initialization order in the > kernel should be changed? Just because you don't like it? No. Get real. Most newer gui mixer's I've seen allow you to switch between mixer devices with tab's. Even the other ones allow you to specify the device you want to use. And if you will never ever use tvmixer just disable it. > Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the purpose of the tvmixer? Control volume/bass/treble of the TV card (assuming the hardware allows this, doesn't work with all cards). > I'm currently controlling the TV audio volume with the ac97 mixer, > using an external cable between the TV card and sound card. That's why most people don't need it. If you would have connected your speakers directly to the TV card without the soundcard (+ assorted mixer) inbetween you would probably love tvmixer...
