Hello,
my sound worked fine in my box but after I ran alsaconf my system failed.
I got:
sound blaster soundcard not found or device busy
can't grab irq 65535
can't grab irq 65535
can't grab irq 65535
snd_sb8 probe of snd_sb8.0 failed with error -16
.....
.....
I booted on my second hard drive (I have two hard drives in my box)
and I commented the line snd-sb8 in /etc/module (of the first hard
drive) and after that I can boot on the first hard drive without error
but the sound doesn't work.
modprobe sb :
FATAL: Error inserting sb
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-486/kernel/sound/oss/sb.ko): No such device
file /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-486/kernel/sound/oss/sb.ko gives:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-486/kernel/sound/oss/sb.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB
relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
modprobe snd-sb8 gives the same result that alsaconf now.
I am stuck with this problem. Can someone help me to restore the sound
in my box ? (Please don't ask me why I ran alsaconf ..... ;-)) tia
I'm no expert, but sb is an oss driver, right? snd-sb8 would be an alsa
driver. For this etch box, I had to /remove/ sb from /etc/modules and
add the correct snd-____ module on 2.6.18-4-686 and an old isa sound card.
Check the archives; we've discussed sound troubles with etch upgrades
from sarge frequently. Also, check your logs for hints.
Thanks for your help but finally I removed alsa-base, alsa-utils ... and I
reinstall them and I ran again alsaconf and the entire processus succeded.
Unstable is sometimes unstable :-)
