I've been working away at this. It seems that Cory's suspicions are right. This
seems to be caused by the /etc/init.d/alsa script not working correctly. This
script is meant to initialise the driver, but it does not run on my system. I
think the problem is caused by a change made by ALSA in version 0.9.0 rc 4.
Previously all the kernel modules were called snd_<whatever>, in my case
snd_audigy. Since that release they have dropped the snd_ prefix. My
/etc/modules.conf has this line:
alias sound-slot-0 audigy
However, by adding a set -x to the /etc/init.d/alsa script I can see that it is
scanning the /etc/modules.conf file for a line that looks like:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-audigy
It doesn't find it (due to the new version of ALSA used in the kernel) and so
doesn't start the driver. This is line 217 of /etc/init.d/alsa:
if egrep -qs "^alias( |\t)+(snd|sound)-(card|slot)-[0-9](
|\t)+snd-" /etc/modules.conf;then
If think the solution is to use an init script from the latest version of ALSA.
The file utils/alsasound is a good choice from the alsa-driver-0.9.0rc7 release.
