 Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 6:24 pm Post subject: ALSA upgrade causes audio apps to freeze[SOLVED] |
 |
|
Yesterday's emerge --sync && emerge -pDvu world bumped the following packages from 1.0.10 to 1.0.11:
pax-utils alsa-headers alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-driver
There was a new config file, /etc/modules.d/._cfg0000_alsa, but I diffed it from the original and it didn't seem to do anything special that my original didn't, so I deleted it. Now I have all sorts of alsa-related problems. XMMS, Mplayer, and xine all freeze whenever I try to use them, vmplayer freezes when it tries to initialize it's fake audio device, quake freezes when it tries to grab audio (oss I think). The apps won't kill, either. If I do get their GUI's to go away (usually by restarting X), they leave ghost processes that kill -9 as root won't get rid of.
I tried to downgrade back to 1.0.10, but the problem persisted.
When /etc/init.d/alsasound starts, it complains about a couple of modules as invalid arguments. It won't restart; I get [ !! ] on `Unloading ALSA Modules ...'. dmesg gives some strange output:
| Code: | ice1724: Invalid EEPROM version 1 (<- was there even when alsa was working)

I too am havign this problem. I just installed my new gentoo system yesterday (with openbox) and now i have the same "freeze" problem. Whenever I try to play sound, the program that tries to run the sound freezes. Killing the Process does not usually kil the program. I hope you find out a fix. However, when I try to start alsasound, I get no errors, and everything "seems" to work, as I get that small "power on" noise in my speakers (i am assuming when the module is probed)

| Actually not satisfactorially solved, but problem went away with update to linux-2.6.16-r3 and subsequent rebuild of alsa-driver. |

I dunno if this helps, but I also rebuild my alsa-driver and now my sound works?

Hello,
I still have the same problem. I recompiled the kernel(2.6.16.10) and the alsa driver, but my system freezes. Anybody has a hint?
Regards
