When something fails the drivers frees all its resources before exitting, so obviously you don't see its name in /proc/interrupts, but it doesn't mean the problem is IRQ related. -- Giuliano. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Alsa-user] Soundcard only works every other login
Does anyone know why the interrupt would be assigned only every other boot? Is this an ALSA question or a question for some other group? That sounds more like a BIOS issue - have you upgraded to the latest BIOS? That issue aside there have been messages posted to this list in the past about cards appearing out of order on every boot - check the archives to find out how to give a specific card a specific order. This would at least stop the Intel card taking over if the other one doesn't work. Cheers, Adam. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Alsa-user] Soundcard only works every other login
The Mia now appears to work every time I boot up,
but I only managed to do this by disabling the
built in Intel sound card in the BIOS. Not an
ideal solution.
Sound like you might just need to index the alsa modules so they load in a
specific order. Automations scripts might be working in strange ways. udev /
discover / ... plus mixer restoration. It could just depend on which card get
hits first in terms of restoring mixer settings, and/or loading modules.
Perhaps something like this in your configuration would help. Modify to use
your specific cards. You don't have to disable the card in the bios. At least
in a perfect world.

[Alsa-user] Soundcard only works every other login
Hi, I have an Echo Mia soundcard, and I've managed to get it work, but only every other time I log in, which is a bit of a pain! The initialization of the card doesn't show up in /var/log/messages when it doesn't work, and when it does work, I do see the initialization. I also have a built-in intel sound card, which it reverts to when the Mia doesn't work. I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy, fully patched. If anyone would be able to help me, I'd be most grateful.
