[linux-audio-user] a PDAudioCF problem

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  I've switched my laptop back to Planet C's RH9 and its 2.4.26 kernel. 
The machine is much happier now.

  However, a problem has come up that did not exist on a former 
identical installation: My PDAudioCF card is not recognized when I 'cat 
/proc/asound/cards'. lsmod shows this report:

[dlphilp at localhost dlphilp]$ lsmod |grep pdaudio
snd-pdaudiocf          10980   0 (unused)

  But catting proc shows only:

[dlphilp at localhost dlphilp]$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CS4231         ]: CS4231 - CS4231
                     CS4231 at 0x534, irq 5, dma 1&0

                     Midiman Midisport 2x2 at usb-00:07.2-1.2, full speed


  I added these lines to /etc/modules.conf :

alias snd-card-3 snd-pdaudiocf
alias sound-slot-3 snd-pdaudiocf

  I also tried manually loading snd-pdaudiocf, it seemed to work all 
right and reported no error. Nevertheless, no PDAudioCF card appears in 
/proc/asound. The card's little blue light is on, indicating that the 
card is recognized by the PCMCIA system, but something else is wrong 
somewhere. Any suggestions ?

Best,
