2nd Sound card wont load
I need to have 2 soundcards for mythtv(Since I have to tv capture cards).
I got the video capture for the cards working, but I cant seem to get the audio correct. I have an onboard sound thta works and uses cmpci module. The card is a vortex2 which I am using alsa drivers for and the au-8830. Here is the kicker, both work, but only the first one which is in modules.conf works. So If I switch them in order, the vortex card works and the cmpci card doesnt. Here is my modules.conf. Can anyone give me a hint here please. alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 tulip alias eth1 tulip alias eth2 8211 alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options tulip options=3 alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore #onboard audio alias snd-card-0 cmpci alias sound-slot-0 cmpci #vortex2 card alias snd-card-1 snd-au8830 alias sound-slot-1 snd-au8830 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias char-major-195 nvidia |
I'm not an ALSA expert, but your modules.conf looks kinda funky to me. I've had as many as three different cards working on a system, and I think your modules should look more like something like this:
*** alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore # First card alias snd-card-0 cmpci alias sound-slot-0 cmpci alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # Second card alias snd-card-1 snd-au8830 alias sound-slot-1 snd-au8830 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss # Sound cards in system - your problem may be as simple as adding this. options snd cards_limit=2 *** YMMV - I'm using completely different cards from you. Good luck.... |
Just FYI- I fixed the problem. I ended up using ALSA drivers for both cards including the onboard sound. I had to compile alsa with the 2 cards in the config turned on. then alsaconf saw both cards.
I originally was using the ones Redhat installed when I first built the machine. I still do not know why it didnt work with the old one, but I couldnt get it to work. If anyone knows maybe they can list it here. Bruce |
