Hi Bob :)
I've got no knowledge about your issue, but reinstalling 64 Studio
shouldn't be needed.
Is there an entry in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base?
What information do you get after installing hwinfo and running hwinfo
--sound?
If I were you, I maybe would install a new 64 Studio, but also keep the
old 64 Studio with all the configurations and apps you changed for your
needs. Perhaps you could diff some files that you suspect to be bad.
It's said that snd-hdsp should be loaded very early at startup to save
memory.
Again, I don't have knowledge, but I'm searching for a new high quality
sound card for my Linux PC and I very often read how good the quality of
those cards should be, but OTOH a lot of people run into issues using
those cards.
I wonder if there's any rt capable audio card that is ok for Linux rt +
'usual' desktop usage, without much manual work or at least work, but
less 'secret' knowledge.
Envy24 cards e.g. don't work with PA desktops until one will add two
lines to /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf:
<confdir:pcm/front.conf>
ICE1712.pcm.front.0 {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
}
type route
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card $CARD
}
#### fix PA issue ####
slave.format S32_LE
slave.channels 10
######################
}
It's hard to get such a simple information :(.
While more and more issues for rt audio apps get solved, rt capable
sound cards and setting up X seems to become more and more a PITA for
Linux. Some days ago I read a headline "Guerrilla Tactics to
Force Screen Mode in Ubuntu", unfortunately I didn't read anything about
Guerrilla Tactics to get a rt capable audio card working.
FWIW, I can't boot latest kernel versions on latest distro versions on
my machine. I started to compile latest versions of libs for my 64
Studio 3.3 alpha, but keep oldish kernels and it's ok on my machine.
PPPoE Internet connections do become also bad with latest distro
versions on my machine.
Hopefully it's pure coincidence and not a new trend.
Back to the topic, I couldn't find the information about all files that
are important, to set up any sound card properly. Hopefully somebody on
that list does know what files do have impact.
We always should keep a backup of the Linux we are using today, to be
able to restore it, if it will be broken tomorrow.
