Hi All
Sound is back. For future reference a small report:
Sound did not start here on a fresh 2.6.12-rc4.
Here: PowerMac Snapper on a Titanium IV, Debian/unstable.
Old alsa-error situation:
# lsmod | grep sound
dmasound_pmac 84480 0
dmasound_core 20240 1 dmasound_pmac
soundcore 8324 1 dmasound_core
root@ 21:31:52:# modprobe snd
FATAL: Error inserting snd
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc4-selinux1/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
And grepping dmesg on snd gave this:
[ 34.365598] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 34.381799] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_register
[ 34.389288] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_create_module_entry

[ 34.484151] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 34.499941] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_register
[and bla bla bla lots more of that crap]
Obviously option `device_mode' was the culprit for the error:
I got sound back by doing the following:
I changed
/etc/modutils/alsa-base:
diff -u /etc/modutils/alsa-base /etc/modutils/alsa-base.05.05.15
--- /etc/modutils/alsa-base 2005-05-15 21:51:02.000000000 +0200

# snd module options

So as you can see I commented out completely "options snd" in this
file: Are there any options being useful to be set there?
And I also changed
/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0
$ diff -u /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0.050515

# or if you use devfs (gid=29 is 'audio' on Debian)

Same question again: Any other options being useful to be set there in
the "options snd" line? Any useful docs?
And after changing the 2 files above: Running, IIRC, alsaconf did the
rest. ... :)
TIA
