/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1;/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
and then type
alsamixer
I can adjust the speaker volume on all four speakers and the subwoofer that is hooked up to my soundblaster live value sound card.. and the music sounds fine.
but if i reboot and then run an audio player to play mp3's (my mp3's) it says unable to play audio or something like that.. but if i retype
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1;/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
and then rerun alsamixer i can get the 4 speakers and sub working again. on a hunch i believe that another sound program is 'initializing' the sound card at boot time, but i could be wrong.
at alt.os.linux.redhat i posted this problem and someone said that putting the modprobe lines into my /etc/modules.conf might help, but i don't think it would help. because yes that should initialize the soundcard properly .. but what about the alsamixer? I mean even after typing
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1;/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
the alsamixer settings are still all goofed up.
here is a copy of my /etc/modules.conf file
===================================================
alias eth0 tulip
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

======================================================
now if adding the /modprobe lines is correct i would think that I would add it at the end of the file (which is below the line that says)
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
so that the end of the file would now look like
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 snd_device_gid=0 snd_device_uid=0
options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_dac_frame_size=64 snd_adc_frame_size=32
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1;/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
i guess i have to ask 2 questions is adding the modprobe lines at the end of the file the correct thing to do?
and whether or not it is.. what else should I be doing here to fix this problem?
