[gentoo-user] Alsa daemon won't start
My alsa (which used to work ok) refuses to start with the message: $ /etc/init.d/alsasound start * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Loading ALSA modules ... [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ... /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:894: warning: name mismatch (Headphone Jack Sense/External Amplifier) for control #29 /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #29 /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:873: failed to obtain info for control #30 (No such file or directory) [ !! ] I tried reemerging alsa-utils alsa-lib and alsa-headers but the problem persists... I don't know when it began because it is unusual for me to restart my computer. I have never edited any config file since using alasmixer was sufficient to make my sound card work fine. It seems to me some upgrade has broken something. -- Antonio SoutoLaboratorista e mestrando doPIPCA - Programa Interdisciplinar de Pós-Graduação em Computação AplicadaBacharel em Ciência da ComputaçãoUNISINOS - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos Fones (0xx51) 590- | 591-1100 | 591-1122 ramal 1658São Leopoldo - RS[The study of non-linear physics is like the study of non-elephant biology.]

Try running alsaconf and see if it helps...

/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:873: failed to obtain info for control #30 (No such file or directory) the settings are stored in /etc/asound.state as soon as ALSA stops. Does this file exist and is it writeable? You can try to delete it and see if this helps. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Alsa daemon won't start
Thanks a lot! I removed /etc/asound.state and the service restarted without errors. Then I run alsaconf (thanks to Veiga) and unmuted the card. Listening to music again :) Thanks to the other folks that answered too.On 7/28/05, Christoph Eckert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:873: failed to obtain info for control #30 (No such file or directory)the settings are stored in /etc/asound.state as soon as ALSAstops.
