[linux-audio-user] ALSA drivers don't stick...

[Erik Thorsson]

I have to run 'alsaconf' every time I boot my Debian Sarge 2.6.8-1 box
to get sound to work.

It detects the 'intel8x0 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound
Controller (rev a0)'.

I say 'OK'.

It says...

Configuring snd-intel8x0
Do you want to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound
(and /etc/modprobe.conf if present)?

I say 'Yes'.

(incidentally, /etc/modprobe.conf doesn't exist.  /etc/modprobe.d/sound 
reads...

options snd  device_mode=0660
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
[EOF])

It says...

OK, driver snd-intel8x0 is configured.

I say 'OK'.

Woohoo.  Sound works.  Until I reboot...

I have 'i810_audio' (the OSS driver, right?) blacklisted in 
/etc/hotplug/blacklist along with these...
