janet.doe Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi! My soundcard is ati IXP400. I have disabled alsa daemon, but it keeps getting on again by itself everytime I do something that makes sound. Have to try what happens if I get myself out of audiogroup. What I know is that when shutting down, it stops when trying to shutdown alsaconf and that's why I think alsa is the problem. Maybe it's my soundcard or maybe it's just me, but I know that it's fu***ng annoying. -jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 IXP400 is actually the Southbridge of the ATI Xpress 200 chipset... there was another guy who had some trouble with that chipset in the forum (albeit with the SATA controller, not the soundcard). I have looked at it and it's rather complicated- ATI initially issued Xpress 200 for Intel platforms, where it's supported rather well, but later expanded it for AMD(64) ones, where things aren't that rosy. To be short, you may have to either wait for a newer 64-bit kernel, or build one yourself to get it running without trouble. Getting out of the audio group (logout/relogin required) should stop most, if not all trouble, but Linux without sound is dull, isn't it?

janet.doe Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 hi. Well, I'll wait for the new kernel. Yeah, without sounds world (and linux) would be quite boring! Thanks for help! -jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
