The basic problem is that my system locks up when I try to use the alsa-drivers.
I'm running a RedHat 7.3 box (Dual P2-400). I'm trying to get alsa running so I can run jack, so I can run Ardour. I have a Soundblaster Live Value card. I compiled and installed the what was listed as the stable distribution of alsa: driver-0.5.12a, lib-0.5.10b, utils-0.5.10 (A basic ./configure; make; make install did the trick for them) Now, I try to get the alsa driver running: changing sound-slot-0 to snd-emu10k1 in /etc/modules.conf. >rmmod emu10k1; modprobe snd-emu10k1 Everything is fine so far (I'll include an lsmod below) But if I try to start jack (jackd -d alsa) my system locks. Even if I do: (I use this often to just make the sound card play something) > cat /boot/vmlinuz > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p My system locks up. It seems to me there's some sort of conflict going on. Should I try the CVS drivers? Is this a known issue? Any suggestions? -Mat Here's some details: [root@phunk root]# uname -a Linux phunk.theproduct.ath.cx 2.4.18-5smp #1 SMP Mon Jun 10 15:19:40 EDT 2002 i686 unknown [root@phunk root]# ls /dev/snd controlC0 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0p pcmC0D2c timer hwC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D1c pcmC0D3p [root@phunk root]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-emu10k1 69156 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 77568 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 13888 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 17216 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 5024 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 5612 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-util-mem 3124 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 29680 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd 37544 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-hwdep snd-seq-device snd-util-mem snd-ac97-codec] sr_mod 16952 0 (autoclean) sound 75244 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 12480 0 (autoclean) soundcore 7044 4 (autoclean) [snd sound] mga 107824 1 agpgart 41056 3 visor 12256 0 (unused) usbserial 20992 0 [visor] binfmt_misc 7684 1 autofs 12612 0 (autoclean) (unused) 3c59x 29320 1 ide-cd 30368 0 (autoclean) cdrom 32448 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod ide-cd] nls_iso8859-1 3488 2 (autoclean) nls_cp437 5120 2 (autoclean) vfat 12284 2 (autoclean) fat 38680 0 (autoclean) [vfat] usb-uhci 25604 0 (unused) usbcore 75904 1 [visor usbserial usb-uhci] ext3 70944 2 jbd 53728 2 [ext3] aic7xxx 128672 3 sd_mod 12992 6 scsi_mod 113252 3 [sr_mod aic7xxx sd_mod] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
