 |
|
I managed to mess up alsa at some point (if I knew how I would've fixed it by now) but now I get errors all over the place and nothing will load. So annoying, especially since it was working the other day. I've searched the forums and nothing seems to be able to fix it. Here are the errors:

My /etc/modules.d/alsa is exactly the same as I've seen elsewhere (I'll pos t if you want, but it seems like a waste of space to me).
Let me know if you need anything else.
Sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I need my sound  .
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
james |

Have you just migrated to udev?
btw, genlop -l is nice to run - it'll show you quickly what you emerged recently.

I was trying to migrate to udev, but my udev kernel won't boot, so I gave up and now my sound is broken. It seems as though it happened after my attempt at udev, but to be honest I'm not really sure.
I unmerged udev after my failed attempt. Maybe I should downgrade hotplug and coldplug?
Cheers,

you need to recompile your kernel and/or the kernel modules .. i still am not sure how people manage to get into this situation

I've recompiled my kernel and its modules a million times since I've had this problem. But I'll do it one more time for you, dsd

Next time I head home (Reading), I'll make a trip up north and buy you a beer or two, dsd.
I swear I recompiled that kernel at least five times with five different configs. This time it worked. I'll be damned.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
