[PlanetCCRMA] HDSP 9652 patch - Failed Dependencies

[Mark Knecht]

Fernando,
   Thanks for taking the time to double check. I understand that this is a
new card and may take some time to get it working correctly. At the same
time, I want to get it going since this box is going to be my main Linux
DAW, and this is the main card. (3 ADAT interfaces, 1 s/pdif interface, 2
MIDI interfaces)

   Again, the card is working at least a bit under Windows, so I know there
are no major hardware problems. I think it's just a matter of figuring out
how Alsa really works. (Probably worth a PhD thesis I think...) ;-)

   I will run chkconfig when I get home this afternoon. That's a good idea.

   I have not found anything in the system logs yet, but I haven't looked
really hard. That will be over the next few days I think.

   This is a very stable machine, with a very common motherboard, but it
hasn't run Linux for a long time. Maybe there is some funny thing about it.
It has an onboard audio controller of some sort. I think I have it off in
BIOS, but possibly it's on and causing alsaconf some sort of problem. I
thought of that one earlier this morning.

Thanks much,
Mark

Then there must be something else missing (in alsa) that does not
recognize the card. I'll double check that the alsa version I put in the
site does have the one line patch you sent me.

You must have alsa enabled to start only on level 5 (X) and not on level
3 (multiuser startup). See what "chkconfig --list alsasound" tells you.

Yuck... anything in the logs? (/var/log/messages).
