Recently, something happened to ALSA and it totally broke. I first noticed it when XMMS told me it couldn't open the ALSA plugin. I updated ALSA to 1.0.11 and went through both methods (non-alsa driver and the latter). Niether worked. I need the module intel8x0 module installed in my kernel for alsa driver (my previous setup), but try as I may, it keeps throwing these errors:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart

I've spent two days on this now, and nothing seems to be working like it was before. I've taken the wiki's advice and deleted old files from previous installs, but everything ends up generally the same - it can't find the drivers -- any of them. Here's my /etc/modules.d/alsa file:
Code:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss

options snd cards_limit=1


Is there a solution to this problem? Maybe I should downgrade back to 1.0.10?

Thanks.

Edit:
Downgrading to 1.0.10 worked.
