I have a cmedia sound card: 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
which has worked fine for quite a while, but lately it seems to stop working after the computer has been on for only a few hours, and the only thing that works is to reboot after powering down. I imagine that this is a hardware issue and I probably have to just get a new card, but since I just upgraded to Slackware 10 which includes the alsa drivers, I'm wondering if it could be a software issue. By the way, I tried to do alsactl power off instead of turning off the computer, but I got an error that the protocol was not supported. I suppose this is a result of the fact that my computer is about 8 years old and probably doesn't support turning off the sound card from software.
Any ideas? Thank you, Ephraim ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
