[rob canning]

hi fernando, thomas, list,

thanks very much for your help, i feel like i may be getting close now but am still having problems...

i did an apt get install on the new kernel set it asd default with GRUB

when i do alsaconf i no longer get the insmod errrors but i do still get:

[root at localhost robcanning]# /usr/sbin/alsaconf
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 120: modinfo: command not found
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 127: modinfo: command not found
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 135: modinfo: command not found

when i start alsasound
[robcanning at localhost robcanning]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
ALSA driver already running
Sound driver snd-hdsp is already loaded


when i start alsamixer
 Card: Intel ICH5                                                             ││ Chip: Analog Devices AD1985                                                  ││ Item: Master   

and with the -c 1 argument
[robcanning at localhost robcanning]$ /usr/bin/alsamixer -c 1
No mixer elems found


my modules.conf file looks like this (i have commented out the oss stuff):

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

add options -k snd-card-0

when i run the audio software pd the Hamerfall is listed in its audio devices but when i change to it from the default (intel) it crashes with:

input channels = 2, output channels = 2
alsa: changing output device to agree with input device
device name hw:1; channels in 2, out 2
audio buffer set to 50

when i do a dmesg i see the lines
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5054: card initialization pending : waiting for firmware
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64

the red Host light is permanantly on on the front of the card - it was never like this with a pcmcia card on windows - should that light turn off on linux with a pci card?

thanks again,

rob
