Re: alsactl restore failed ...



Hi!

Well. Unstable is sometimes unstable :-)

and now I get this
message at boot:
Setting up ALSA ... warning:
'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state: 1327: no souncards found ...' ... done

A guess: you got a new kernel as part of the upgrade?
Yes I installed the 2.6.20-1 kernel
What can I do to solve this problem ?

I don't see enough information here to give a out-of-the-box solution -
a bit more diagnostics is required :-|

What does /var/log/dmesg say? There's probably some message about the
soundcard modules in there.

What type of sound card?  Assuming it is a PCI card (this usually
includes on-board cards too), the relevant fragment of the output from
"lspci -v" would be useful...
lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)

I have understood that my problems came from ATI with the kernel 2.6.20
and I have downgraded to the kernel 2.6.18 and now:
m-a a-i alsa-source runs fine with kernel 2.6.18 while it fails with
kernel 2.6.20

Many thanks.
