Hi, I am having some issues getting the Alsa drivers to work with the Creative Labs Extigy sound card. It is not really with the drivers but with the mixer that I need to use to set the initial volume levels.
I have the USB sound card installed and working as far as I can tell. It gets loaded by the USB hub and the proper drivers get installed. Here is the output from 'lsmod | grep snd': ---- snip ---- snd-pcm-oss 43780 0 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 15320 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-usb-audio 45632 0 snd-rawmidi 18336 0 [snd-usb-audio] snd-seq-device 6144 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-pcm 82144 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-usb-audio] snd-timer 15368 0 [snd-pcm] snd 39820 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-usb-audio snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm snd-timer] soundcore 6500 3 [audio snd] usbcore 77056 1 [audio snd-usb-audio hid usb-ohci] ---- snip ---- Here is the configuration from my /etc/modules.conf: ---- snip ---- # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=0 pid=0x3000 id="extigy" # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 audio # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ---- snip ---- When I run the alsamixer program, this is the output that I get: ---- snip ---- [root@dev-box asound]# alsamixer -h AlsaMixer v1.00 Usage: alsamixer [-h] [-c <card: 0...7 or id>] [-D <mixer device>] [-g] [-s] [root@dev-box asound]# alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument [root@dev-box asound]# alsamixer -c extigy alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument [root@dev-box asound]# ---- snip ---- Here is the output from amixer: ---- snip ---- [root@dev-box asound]# amixer -c extigy amixer: Mixer load error: hw:0 [root@dev-box asound]# ---- snip ---- When I use aplay, I don't get any errors and I can see that music is going to the soundcard by looking in the /proc/asound/card0/stream0 file. The playback section says "Running" when I am using the aplay application. I also tried using 'amixer -c extigy controls' and 'amixer -c extigy contents' commands. The contents displays data but has errors mixed in with the output. The error is the same for each area: amixer: Control hw:0 element read error: Invalid argument And this happens when is accesses the following sections: numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='3D Stereo Extender Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=1 numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Digital In Playback Source' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw---,values=1,items=2 ; Item #0 'PCM' ; Item #1 'Input 1' numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='Up Down Mode Select' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=1,min=0,max=1,step=0 numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='Up Down Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw---,values=1 The controls command doesn't output any errors. It just displays some data. If you need more information or output from other commands, please don't hesitate to let me know.
