Hi there, i have a strange problem with my soundcard when boot sometimes (others times it works well), i cannot start jack because it just doesn't find the pci card at all! so i checked the log and found this error : RME Digi96: probe of 0000:06:01.0 failed with error -12 i guess it has something to see with modprobe and 0000:06:01.0 should be the mac address of the card ?? or something like that so i guess it's unable to load the firmware?? i tried to remove & reinstall alsa-firmware-loaders with no results here is my /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-rme96 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias char-major-14 soundcore 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 alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards options snd cards_limit=1 # Other available module options # index int array (min = 1, max = 8), # description "Index value for RME Digi96 soundcard." # id string array (min = 1, max = 8), # description "ID string for RME Digi96 soundcard." # enable int array (min = 1, max = 8), # description "Enable RME Digi96 soundcard." and /etc/modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line.
