[linux-audio-user] alsa hdsp and oss emulation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Thomas!

Thanks for your reply!

I have now tested alsa-drivers-1.0.9rc1 with hotplug support in the 
kernel, but without success. When i boot into OSX, load the firmware 
there, and do a warm-reboot into debian, the card works, even 
reinserting and putting the computer into sleep mode doesn't stop the 
card from working.
But after a coldboot into debian, the card remains uninitialized, giving 
the same error as described below.

I am fairly stuck here.

Thanks for _any_ help.
