In my continuing saga of trying to get my soundcard (SBAWE32) working with the 2.4.2 kernel in 7.1, I have managed to get everything to work by setting the card up through YAST2. My problem comes when I shutdown the computer (or reboot). Not all components of the soundcard work. If I go through the process of setting it up again in YAST2, it will work again. If I stop and start rcalsasound, that also goofs things up. It seems as though the YAST2 configuration is not getting set where it needs to. I've looked at modules.conf, deleted all of the ALSA references and started over, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks, Harry ================================== Here is the result of cat /proc/asound/sndstat when the card works: Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10b emulation code) Kernel: Linux bananas 2.4.2 #5 Mon Apr 23 19:19:49 PDT 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&5 Audio devices: 0: DSP v4.13 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: CTL1745 And here are the results when the card doesn't work: Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10b emulation code) Kernel: Linux bananas 2.4.2 #5 Mon Apr 23 19:19:49 PDT 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Sound Blaster 16 at 0x220, irq 5, dma 1&5 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 1: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
