Hi all, I've got something weird with the card in the subject. Both the kernel (2.4.20-gentoo-r5) OSS driver (cmpci.o) and the ALSA (0.9.8) driver (snd-cmipci.o) work great! Both are capable of enabling the optical SPDIF/out and play music.
However, when the machine is on over night; it always is, since it is also my firewall/mail/dns/webserver ;-); the card stops working and the machine needs a reboot in order for the sound card to respond again. With OSS: # cmictl -d cmpci : Current status SPDIF in :OFF SPDIF out :OFF SPDIF loop :OFF Legacy to SPDIF :OFF SPDIF monitor :ON SPDIF out voltage :0.5V SPDIF rate :48kHz Surround :OFF Line IN Jack :Line IN (2 speaker mode) Reverse front and rear :OFF Input signal phase :Normal and I am not able to change any settings. Upon module reload I /can/ change the settings again, but it still doesn't work. With ALSA: alsamixer shows all volume settings a 100% and muted when possible; and again no changes register. Module reload doesn't affect it. 'echo "wine 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss' did enable the mixer again, but still no valid signal light from the DAC. Has anybody seen this behaviour before and/or know what to do about it, because rebooting the machine is such a big pain :-( regards, Peter Zijlstra
