Sorry - I was not exact enough. When I wrote that I tried alsa-0.5.x & alsa-0.9.x then I didn't mean that I installed them at the same time. I commenced with 0.9.x with fresh, clean installation of gentoo-linux, sources (with gentoo installation procedures .. that is: installation from sources). My problem is not "too-many-modules, all-mixed-up", I fear. My alsa installation (compilation) is just fine. I carefully configured modules.conf of course. (As I said: with the original infos from my old SuSE, but with respect to my new gentoo.) I am pretty sure that I don't have a problem with my kernel/defvs/modules/*.conf/etc. The only inconvinience is that the module snd-es1688 (from alsa-0.9.x) does not support my sound-chip anymore though I do have a ES688. It doesn't want to load as a module (modprobe/insmod). Again: I have a neat and clean alsa installation (one version from clean basis) and all the modules where they have to be. Devfs does it's job and all libs are just fine! . Modules.conf is like it always used to be for other (older) versions of alsa. Sound is no problem in general. The same whole system works fine with alsa-0.5.x. (I started alsa-0.9.x and as it didn't work I went to alsa-0.5.x.... Now I am back at alsa-0.9.x because I need it's libs. But I can't use it...). I was just wondering if I can do anything to regain some sort of a "backward-compatibility" when using alsa-0.9.x. Maybe special module options/parameters for my Bus (no PCI/ISA at all). Whatever. I don't know too much about the inner of alsa (what changed and so.. ). If there is just somebody out there who had ever experienced something like this - I would be thrilled to hear about it. thnx alot mox
