The inputs are picky in that they need to be fed with a line level source. Which for me means using a microphone preamp. Even on some sources that may not need one in other circumstances / other cards. That being said, the unknown symbol is common. If insmod-ing without deps, you can only do this in a specific order. If you boot using lilo and didn't rerun lilo to install the newer kernel, then it may be having version conflicts. If you didn't run depmod -ae after installing the newer alsa you might also have trouble. snd-ice1712 should be the right module(s). For me I modify the /etc/modules.conf configuration or modprobe.d / modutil.d modern equivalents. While disabling distro supplied defaults. In my case it looks something like this. # /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_custom alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 options snd-ice1712 index=0 alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # END With this configuration, anytime you try to use the sound device the modules are automatically loaded. Also when you modprobe snd-ice1712, it picks up the dependants in whatever order they were supposed to be used in. Reindexing it to 0 makes it the default soundcard. There's other ways to do that, but this simplifies things for OSS type apps. Like festival / mozilla / ..... There are other issues if you're not using udev and/or didn't run the snddevices script to create the /dev devices (not to be run if you ARE using udev). But that doesn't appear to be your issue. And other ways to implement the above custom configuration with alsaconf and other utilities. I just never got them to work for me back in the day, and never adapted to letting current tools try to do it for me. - James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
