Urza9814 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 So I was trying to get wengo to work...so at some point I attempted running it as root, and since then my alsa has been toasted. I've tried re-running all the various methods of configuring it...I've tried simply rebooting several times...and I even tried a 'grep -C 1 alsa /var/log/*/*', but it doesn't appear that it outputs anything to the log while it's starting up. Anyways, I try to run it, and all I get is this: [root@localhost urza9814]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa start Starting ALSA version 1.0.12: Anyone know any way I could get more info or attempt to fix this?

Urza9814 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 So I installed alsa-driver-1.0.14, the latest version, and it still failed, though it failed with output this time. Here's the dmesg: snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_free_irq snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_verbose_printk snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_request_irq snd_intel8x0: Unknown symbol snd_free_irq snd_intel8x0: Unknown symbol snd_verbose_printk snd_intel8x0: Unknown symbol snd_pci_quirk_lookup snd_intel8x0: Unknown symbol snd_request_irq So after screwing with that a while, googling it with a series of the same problem solved by either reboot or with no answer given, I tried going back and installing over it with alsa-driver-1.0.12rc3, which is giving me the same problem as before.

Urza9814 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Oh, here's an interesting development: I set it to use the OSS drivers is mcc, and it freezes up there too. (not the computer, just alsa. says applying settings forever) Other information recently learned: It was trying to use the 2.6.17.13mdv kernel sources, when I'm on 2007.0 and therefore use 2.6.17.5mdv. I recompiled both with the older kernel sources and booted with the older kernel sources (somehow I now have options for both in grub). alsa 1.0.14 still gives me the same error, 1.0.12rc3 still freezes. However, I'm now down to one problem in the dmesg: snd_intel8x0: Unknown symbol snd_verbose_printk However, my emu10k1 card I can't even get to output an error message. Just flat out doesn't work.

Urza9814 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ah! So for some reason alsaconf, though it is the 1.0.12 version, is using alsasound instead of alsa. Which confuses the hell out of me, because I actually completely removed alsasound from the /etc/init.d directory. So does anyone know how to get alsaconf to go back to the older alsa version? Or just how to uninstall alsa 1.0.14 installed from a tarball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you still have the directory you put the tarball in, just do make uninstall in it. If not, download the exact same version, do the exact same ./configure, and then do the make uninstall. Obviously, you'll need to be root. As far as getting the alsasound back into /etc/init.d - I'd just reinstall alsa, that should do it (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 ok, that was a bit helpful...but...well, here's the output of /etc/init.d/alsasound stop: Loading driver...

Setting default volumes... ALSA lib control.c:910:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory Problem is, I still have no sound no matter what I try (running alsaconf, changing what card it uses, rebooting, starting and stopping alsa and alsasound, and even reinstalling the alsa-driver and alsa-utils packages)...and I can't figure out how it could possibly be in use. Here's the relevant parts of dmesg: [root@localhost urza9814]# dmesg | grep alsa ALSA /home/urza9814/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.12rc3/usb/usbaudio.c:1278: 3:2:1: cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x83 [root@localhost urza9814]# dmesg | grep snd usbcore: registered new driver snd-usb-audio Modules linked in: ndiswrapper af_packet video thermal processor fan container button battery ac ide_cd binfmt_misc ipv6 loop ntfs nls_utf8 nls_cp437 vfat fat dm_mod amd64_agp agpgart evdev tsdev usbmouse usbhid snd_usb_audio snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_usb_lib snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device quickcam snd_hwdep snd videodev soundcore ehci_hcd usblp ohci_hcd usbcore ext3 jbd sd_mod sata_uli libata scsi_mod usbcore: deregistering driver snd-usb-audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
