Greetings, there is one issue with alsa and my Trident 4DWave NX, which plagues me since some years. Now it is really time to ask for a solution. ;) Playing sound results in the appearance of new channels in alsamixer, which are not proper initialized. That must be forced with 'sudo alsactl restore'. Pictures are good to demonstrate problems, so i have uploaded some to http://www.triffids.de/pub/alsa/ alsa_1.png shows alsamixer before sound is played. Between 'PCM' and 'Surround' there is only 'PCM Out'. Closing alsamixer, starting eg dosbox and then alsamixer gives alsa_2.png. Now there are new channels between 'PCM' and 'Sourround', the channels 'PCM Chor', 'PCM From', 'PCM Pan' and 'PCM Reve'. But they are not initialized to the former saved values. This must be done with 'sudo alsactl restore'. The result ist alsa_3.png. All three pictures together can be seen in alsa_all.png. asound.state is the used config file. Well, it is annoying to be forced to use alsactl. Sometimes it is even impossible. Is there a solution for my problem? ----- hafi@t900 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [TRID4DWAVENX ]: TRID4DWAVENX - Trident TRID4DWAVENX Trident TRID4DWAVENX PCI Audio at 0xec00, irq 17 hafi@t900 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/devices 0: [ 0] : control 1: : sequencer 8: [ 0- 0]: raw midi 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 18: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback 24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 25: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture 33: : timer hafi@t900 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_trident hafi@t900 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/pcm 00-02: trident_dx_nx IEC958 : Trident 4DWave IEC958 : playback 1 00-01: trident_dx_nx : Trident 4DWave : capture 4 00-00: trident_dx_nx : Trident 4DWave : playback 32 : capture 1 hafi@t900 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc1 (Tue Jan 09 09:56:17 2007 UTC). hafi@t900 ~ $ uname -a Linux t900 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 #1 Thu Jun 7 22:13:01 CEST 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux P.S.
