 |
|
WHen I run
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
I think every possible sound module is loaded. I only need the trident module.
How can I change this to only load the needed modules? |

It seems alsasound loads all sound modules present, so you could just remove unnecessary
modules by reconfiguring your kernel to not build the unnecessary modules and doing
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make clean; make modules; make modules_install |

I mean configure the kernel so that unnecessary modules don't get built at all, that way
they won't get loaded.

| Does editing /etc/modules.d/alsa to specify the module for card0 and limiting the soundcards to 1 help? |

I think I'm in a very similar boat here.
ALSA now works, but I went round the houses somewhat before it was successful.
There are no ALSA kernel modules compiled. Soundcard support is enabled, but ALSA and OSS are both disabled.
I emerged alsa-driver (along with tools and stuff)
/var/log/messages contains the following:
| Code: | Jul 27 13:29:29 desktop rc-scripts: Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers.

if I stop/start /etc/init.d/alsasound I get the following:

I don't think I care about the hdspm error as my sound card is reported as:
| Code: | desktop ~ # cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
VIA 8237 with AD1980 at 0xec00, irq 201
|
and works perfectly.
I just want to cut out the loading of all the other snd_ drivers. Getting to the bottom of the error messages in /var/log/messages would be nice too.
Anybody know?
Cheers

See this line: VVVV
* Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers.
That means someone didn't edit /etc/modules.d/alsa  Fix that, run modules-update, and all will be well.

Hmmm - I will have severe words with whoever has been forgetting to edit my confg files . . .
Thanks for the pointer.
I edited /etc/modules.d/alsa and then did a modules-update
Sound works perfectly and only one driver is loaded. Hope this solves it for oldefortran too.
Many thanks
