Hi All, I just upgraded my kernel with make oldconfig and noticed new options for sound. Other than taking in excess of 50 seconds looking at the penguin before the kernel starts booting up I found out upon bootup that alsasound fails to find the kernel driver for my sound card: =========================================================== # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart * Loading ALSA modules ... * Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers. * Unable to find any ALSA drivers. Have you compiled alsa-drivers correctly? * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ... alsactl: unrecognized option `---' Usage: alsactl <options> command
Available options:
-h,--help this help
-f,--file # configuration file (default /etc/asound.state
or /etc/asound.names)
-F,--force try to restore the matching controls as much as possible
(default mode)
-P,--pedantic don't restore mismatching controls (old default)
-d,--debug debug mode
-v,--version print version of this program
Available commands:
store <card #> save current driver setup for one or each soundcards
to configuration file
restore <card #> load current driver setup for one or each soundcards
from configuration file
names <card #> dump information about all the known present (sub-)devices
into configuration file (DEPRECATED)
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring [ ok ]
===========================================================
