$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC). Earlier I upgraded alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins alsa-tools alsa-utils to 1.0.13 (alsa-headers already were 1.0.13) The ALSA 1.0.12rc1 will be from the kernel driver, I presume. Every time I try to emerge alsa-driver I get: configure: error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel. !!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.13 failed. so to uninstall the kernel drivers (to upgrade ALSA) I would have to re-compile my kernel (2.6.18-r1), I suppose. I tried deleting position_fix=1 and rebooting, but it made no difference (except maybe I did not have to run alsaconf immediately after booting up, although touching the volume control still resulted in the sound going dead and a running of alsaconf again necessary). position_fix= has something to do with "buffer position reporting schemes" according to: www.taupro.com/wiki/ChemBook/KernelAudioSupport Robert EmIScA wrote: > What version of alsa you are using?
