Hi, I have a system serving music locally and over the network. It was working properly (once I took it off wireless), however after shutting it down (to move it) the ALSA modules are failing to load. Maybe this is not a PA issue, it may be an ALSA problem but thought I would post anyway. I am auto loading the alsa modules. Here is the log information for when it was working, followed by the same info when it failed. I don't know why it would quit working after a reboot. When it was working: Dec 26 11:11:43 artigo pulseaudio[11657]: module-hal-detect.c: Trying capability alsa Dec 26 11:11:43 artigo pulseaudio[11657]: module-alsa-sink.c: Successfully opened device front:0.

I have powered it off, rebooted etc but no luck. Not sure if it is a hardware issue of something on the software side. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Pete Nesbitt http://www.linux1.ca
