Hallo, I amm on a debian sarge gnome desktop. I have an on-board sis/ac97 chip. This week I downloaded kernel 2.6.15.1 and installed sound etc. as modules since I wanted to include a webcam. Sound has not been tested before. When booting the new kernel, alsa sound seems to be enabled since the modules are loaded. However, when I try e.g. xmms than I get the message (translated by myself) please check that the soundcard is installed properly, that the correct plug-ins are chosen, and that no other program blocks sound. The situation is bizarre: When I shutdown gnome and move to the terminal and run alsaconf, the card is found and enabled. After restarting gnome sound works, no program blocks the card. This demonstrates that things are properly installed, modules available, permissions granted etc. What do I have to do to make sound start correctly at boottime? The alsa settings should be saved during shutdown and reloaded at boottime. How can I control that the correct alsa settings are loaded, what file is the relevant one? I am working with the original debian sarge versions (as of juli 2005). Included is the lsmod output after booting Any help is very much appreciated Any help is appreciated Bernhard Syslog shows : ALSA sound/core/init.c:132: cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-0) lspci: lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 746 Host (rev 02) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SG86C202 0000:00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25) 0000:00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 0000:00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] 0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 0000:00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 0000:00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940/2940W / AIC-7871 0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0c) 0000:00:0c.0 Network controller: AVM Audiovisuelles MKTG & Computer System GmbH Fritz!PCI v2.0 ISDN (rev 01) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] lsmod: lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 6656 0 zlib_deflate 20504 1 ppp_deflate bsd_comp 6400 0 ppp_synctty 9984 0 radeon 110624 2 binfmt_misc 11784 1 ehci_hcd 33288 0 snd_intel8x0 34844 0 snd_ac97_codec 98208 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2560 1 snd_ac97_codec i2c_sis96x 6788 0 sn9c102 95244 0 videodev 9600 1 sn9c102 v4l2_common 8064 1 sn9c102 snd_usb_audio 84544 1 snd_pcm 100744 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio snd_timer 26500 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11912 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_usb_lib 18176 1 snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi 27168 1 snd_usb_lib snd_seq_device 9484 1 snd_rawmidi snd_hwdep 10628 1 snd_usb_audio snd 60516 11 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_usb_lib,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep soundcore 10208 1 snd ohci_hcd 20996 0 usbcore 134020 6 ehci_hcd,sn9c102,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,ohci_hcd
