According to [1], [2], [3], and [4] there's something in /etc/modprobe.d/* that's trying to set it. It has been fixed in most distros. You'll need to find what's trying to load alsa with the 'device_mode' parameter and fix it. hth, gabriel [1] http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/106400 [3] https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/43738 [4] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400612 _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
