I got an ABIT-ST6-RAID based on the Intel 815 step-b chipset, with integrated i8x0 audio. At first I was using 2.4.16 kernel drivers, but after a while of playing audio (xmms) the system just froze solid. After this I switched to Alsa 0.9.0beta10 which unfortuantly also also has this problem, but fortunately it handles it much more gracefully then the kernel i810_audio driver. Alsa dumps this to syslog and I can't play sound anyore, but at least the box doesn't freeze solid. (dmesg output) ALSA card-intel8x0.c:294: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c ALSA card-intel8x0.c:294: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x26 ALSA card-intel8x0.c:308: codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x26 ALSA card-intel8x0.c:294: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x26 ALSA card-intel8x0.c:294: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x26
and this repeats forever when I'm trying to play sound. If I were to /sbin/rmmod snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-card-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd soundcore and then again to reload the modules /sbin/modprobe snd-card-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss I get /lib/modules/2.4.17-pre2/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.17-pre2/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.17-pre2/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.17-pre2/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-card-intel8x0 failed This time alsa driver can't even find the card. This problem seems to also happen with alsa 0.5.12a. I'm not on the mailing list, but if this is a chronic problem that can't really be fixed anytime soon could you please let me know? I'll just go and buy a sound card (I normally don't need one, i just listen to mp3s, so the onboard audio is very much enough for me) P.S. if you need more info, I can offer an account on my box for testing.... _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
