Greetings, immediately after a reboot I can clearly hear the white noise created by executing
$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono $ and the "lsmod" command lists quite a few loaded sound modules. Howev- er, after resuming from hibernation the same "aplay" command still pro- duces the same line on standard output, returns the same exit code of 0, but does not produce any sound. And the "lsmod" command still lists the same loaded modules. Anybody having a clue what's happening here? And while we are at it: At https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Gentoo_Kernel_Configuration_Guide the authors flatly state "Note that ALSA is an exception to the suggest- ed scheme of not building things as modules: ALSA is actually much easi- er to configure when the components are modular." without giving any further expanation. What precisely am I giving away when I build the ALSA stuff directly into the kernel? Sincerely, Rainer
