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
