alsaconf deprecated?
Hello, I'm having loads of problems getting my soundcard to work. I'm using Debian testing (Lenny), but I had to grab the kernel from unstable because the nvidia proprietary drivers have been removed from the testing distribution.
But when I tried to run alsaconf the way I always do, I got: Code:
************************************************************************ So as I understand it, I need to modprobe the driver manually... how would I go about doing this? |
Eh.. I seem to get that sort of stuff too, but then I reboot -> working();.
|
For me, reboot does nothing. Here's all the stuff I can think of:
lsmod | grep snd Code:
snd_usb_audio 74496 1 Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Code:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel |
Do you have libesd-alsa0 installed?
|
Daws: No, it wasn't installed. I tried installing libesd-alsa0 just now, but it seemed to have no effect.
|
Good good, I ran into this problem a few weeks ago. Installing libesd-alsa0 was one of the steps. To get past the
update-modules error, I installed an older version temporarily (If you actually look at the script, it is pretty much useless). Try running alsaconf then alsamixer again. If that doesn't work, then I probably forgot something I did... I will try to remember. |
alsaconf still seems to give me the same error. I notice that after I run it, all the 'snd' modules are gone from lsmod.
Code:
************************************************************************ Code:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device What to do? |
I may have forgotten something.
I am fairly sure I installed libesd-alsa0, downgraded module-init-tools, then ran alsaconf (btw the first thing alsaconf does is unload all snd modules so that's normal behaviour). I might have rebooted at this point... not sure. Then I ran alsamixer, and then "alsactl store", and sound worked fine... If you are still getting The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! then the downgrade did not work. Try again. "dpkg -i package" |
Hmm, I am still getting the same error even after using
Code:
sudo dpkg -i module-init-tools_3.3-pre11-3_i386.deb Where is the location of this script? Then I could make sure that the correct version is being used. [EDIT]I wonder if our differences are caused by my newer kernel version? I had to get the latest kernel from sid to install the nvidia graphics drivers, which are broken in testing. (see first post) Code:
uname -a |
I have the same problem - with a HDA NVidia card.
alsaconfig is useless to me. In fact it unloads the module that gets loaded during boot. I have a custom kernel but it is 2.6.22 as well. From boot Quote:
