Hi there, I have bought several identical PCs for our department and all face the following problem:
When I first configure the soundcard using YaST or alsaconf, everything looks fine and I can hear the test sound played. I can set the volume using alsamixer. Afterwards, I can play CD audio and system sounds. However, when rcalsasound is started for the next time, the system hangs when the script executes alsactl -restore /etc/asound.state. Hanging means, that mouse and keyboard are dead. If I reboot and try to run alsaconf again, the system hangs as well, and the file /etc/modules.conf is destroyed, meaning that the file exists, but contains complete nonsense (looks very binary). My current work-around is to delete /etc/asound.state, start alsasound manually, execute alsaconf, and finally set the volume using alsamixer -- everytime I start my system. Alternatively, I could switch off the onboard sound, of course. My configuration is: SuSE Linux 8.0 (originally containing alsasound 0.9.0 beta 12) alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2 alsa-lib-0.9.0rc2 alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 alsa-utils-0.9.0rc2 ASUS P4T533-C with Intel 82801 AB (ICH2) chip If someone can help me to solve this problem, i would be very glad. I am willing to provide more detailed information and run addtional test if required. Kind regards, Tobias -- Dipl.-Inform.
