Switching the driver so many times - I didn't test before, so this may likely happen on my environemnt too. Basically you should use the same address probed by the driver, which is shown when invoked without buffer_top or vaio_hack option. I changed it from printd to printk so the probed buffer address will be always shown in kernel message. snd_vaio_hack option sets a certain address for VAIO notebook, so it's not safe for all other machines. > If I use alsasound as an init script at boot time, it seems much more > likely to freeze (don't know why). > > I'm not going to work on this anymore just now.

Well, so until the next week.. ciao, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
