Hi all, I'm using Linux 2.6.0-ben1 but have problems with alsa. I did what I read on this list, i.e. put a file in /etc/modprobe.d to load the modules in the correct order, and so on. I've configured alsa-base the right way, I think. Here are my problems.
When I plug headphones, the sound's muted, and I have to change the Master sound level to bring it back. Known problem so far. But if I do this, then the speakers are turned back on. Secondly, with this kernel and alsa, the sound's way too powerful if I set the volume to the max. It wasn't this loud when I used 2.4 kernel or OS X. I'm afraid I might break my speakers because of this :( Finally, rhythmbox takes forever to start playing a song with alsa. Never had this problem with OSS-based 2.4. BTW, I'm not using any sound server. Could these issues be solved ? Should I patch the kernel"s alsa with a newer one, and if so, how ? Should I just wait and stick with the previous stable kernel ? Thanks for your help. Cheers. -- Lucas Moulin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
