hi alsa worked fine for me....with 2.4 i upgraded to 2.6test9 kernel, alsa worked there, too. but i decided to downgrade again. after this with old 2.4.21 kernel alsa stopped working for me. i get the following error.
xmms -p ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl failed: Invalid argument ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: Invalid argument or: artsd Error while initializing the sound driver: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed - Invalid argument and no sound output happens. i tried alsa-driver 0.9.8 and 0.9.5. i use the intel8x0 driver for this card: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio (rev 02 Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 812b Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 9 I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256] I/O ports at 18c0 [size=64] i have no idea, what changed to my old system, where everything was fine. when i use the 2.6 kernel again...the sound works. any ideas? greetings, Patrick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
