SOLVED: Sound problems when using two sound devices



I have found on the alsa website the solution to this problem. Editing
/etc/modprobe.d/sound the line options snd-emu10k1 index=0 to options
snd-emu10k1 index=-15 did the trick.

That is exactly what I have.

In the kernel .config I have:

...
CONFIG_SND_CA0106=m
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m
...

My lsmod looks in part like:

Module                  Size  Used by
...
snd_pcm_oss            31648  0
snd_mixer_oss          13248  3 snd_pcm_oss
...
snd_mpu401_uart         5440  1 snd_via82xx
snd_ac97_codec         78560  2 snd_via82xx,snd_ca0106
snd_pcm                63496  5
snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer              16452  1 snd_pcm
snd_ac97_bus            1792  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_rawmidi            16992  2 snd_ca0106,snd_mpu401_uart
snd_page_alloc          6856  3 snd_via82xx,snd_ca0106,snd_pcm
...

And my /etc/modprobe.d/sound:

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
options snd-via82xx index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd_ca0106
options snd_ca0106 index=1

I note that on the via8237 I can play simultaneous sounds but on the
ca0106 not.

Other than that it works perfectly.
