Alsa not working after 2.6.11 update
I updated my laptop (specs below) to the 2.6.11 kernel, and then did an upgradepkg to the 2.6.11 ALSA drivers, and just after I did this, the sound was working fine. However, after I rebooted, the sound did not work and neither would alsamixer unless I passed it the option -c 1. Whenever I try to play an mp3 under mpg123, it starts as if its playing it (no sound of course) and then stops a short way in as if the track is finished.
I'm guessing that either I lost a necessary file when I replaced it with the upgradepkg, and the only reason it worked was that I still had the old one/thing booted into my RAM, or there's a module I'm supposed to load which I don't know about. Any files/ outputs needed, please say and I'll post 'em. Thanks in advance. |

Try adding the following line to "/etc/hotplug/blacklist" reboot and see if it works:
snd-via82xx-modem What this does is prevent hotplug from loading the modem driver. Alsa sees Most of the chipset based modems as a sound card. Eric |
Aha! I found that when I did lsmod, so that should sort it! I'll try that when I get home!

Sound, sweet sound! That would explain why it only stopped working after reboot too! Thank you so much! You've made me a very happy guy- I'm at a stage where nothing's been working recently, so every little bit of progress is a great encouragement! Thank you again! |
Excellent - this is a great thread. Thanks Oholiab for posting back with a followup, and of course thanks eeads for the advice. -- J.W.

Thanks for any help. |
From the sound of things it seems that you have a different problem. alsactl should work even if you need to blacklist something. I sounds like there is a corrupt file or setting somewhere, but I do not know what or where. Does anybody else have any suggestions?
