 Posted: Tue Oct 08, 2002 12:19 am Post subject: alsa locks up boot process |
 |
|
when i enable alsa during the boot process, my machine locks up hard when it gets to starting alsa sound, only a power reset will get it back. alsa starts just fine when it's turned off during the boot, but the settings for the amixer aren't stored. i'm using the snd-via8233 driver for my onboard audio card.
to enable alsasound during boot...
| Code: |
rc-update add alsasound boot
|
and to shut it off so i'll get to a login window..
| Code: |
rc-update del alsasound
|
any ideas why it's locking up? |

The alsasound script runs the alsa-ctl program among other things. This is responsible for restoringthe sound levels during boot. It locks up my machine with an ensoniq 1371 solidly.
1) Dont use the alsasound script.
2) Make an entry for your sound card module in /etc/modules.autoload
(or should that be /etc/module.autoload).
3) Make an entry/entries for amixer in /etc/conf.d/local.start
Typically,
amixer set Master 90% unmute &>/dev/null
amixer set PCM 90% unmute &>/dev/null
This works for me. |

I'm having a similar problem, just some clarification on the solution though:
| Quote: | 2) Make an entry for your sound card module in /etc/modules.autoload
(or should that be /etc/module.autoload).
|
what should this entry look like?
Should it include all of the lines that I used in /etc/modules.d/alsa? |

Not the lines from modules.d/alsa
Just the name of the module/modules needed get your sound card working
e.g.
# Sound Card Driver
snd-ens1371 |
