[Alsa-user] Trouble with USB-audio (Soundblaster MP3+)

[Peter Wallin]

Title: Trouble with USB-audio (Soundblaster MP3+)

I'm using a Turlte Beach Santa Cruz (CS46xx) PCI-card and a Sound blaster MP3+ card. The Santa Cruz is doing fine, but I'm having lots of difficulties with the USB-card.

At times I can get the whole setup running perfectly. But this usually requires several re-boots of the computer and during boot-up I usually get several error messages about "insmod failed: failed to load snd-usb-audio" or "insmod failed: soundcore already exists" or "insmod failed: audio already exists".

Also when the ALSA-USB portion fails, the regular OSS drivers seems to have kicked in (since I can run kmixer with no problem and configure the usb-card). This is especially strange since I have commented out the OSS-portion of modules.conf!

All this has led me to believe that the regular OSS-drivers aren't fully surpressed during startup. Any way to check this? Or does anyone have a better idea how to fix this?
