hello

to mods: I'm not sure if it's the right place to post on :oops:

I'm trying initng (initng-9999) , but I can't have sound:

Code:
23:57:48 system/alsasound                      : SERVICE_FAIL_STARTING


here is the log
Code:
ngc -l system/alsasound

 hh:mm:ss    service           :  STATUS
 ------------------------------------------------------
 23:57:39     system/alsasound : LOADING
 23:57:48     system/alsasound : *OUTPUT*
grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory
ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers
 23:57:48     system/alsasound : SERVICE_FAIL_STARTING


I'm using the same kernel than when booting with sysvinit. I don't understand why /proc/asound is not created

if I manually do
Code:
modprobe snd_emu10k1
(it's my for my SBlive card..)
then /proc/asound is created then I can
Code:
ngc -u system/alsasound
and sound work, but I 'd like to know why I have to modprobe it manually? what make this unnecessary with sysvinit? Is there an other(better) way to do this than adding snd_emu10k1 to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 :?:

TIA

FYI, the modules corresponding to your sound card are loaded with the service system/alsasound/cards , the problem is that it doesn't seem to be launch, here is how I do, (note I also add system/alsasound/mixerstate to the default runlevel (in order to unmute the all thing at boot ;) )

system/alsasound.i wrote:
...
service system/alsasound {
need = system/bootmisc system/alsasound/cards;
use = system/coldplug system/alsasound/ioctl32 system/alsasound/seq system/alsasound/oss system/modules/depmod system/modules; # note that system/alsasound/cards doesn't appear on this line anymore
also_stop = system/alsasound/cards system/alsasound/ioctl32 system/alsasound/seq system/alsasound/oss system/alsasound/mixerstate;
