Re: [linux-audio-user] usb audio still foobar :-(

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ahhh thanks kevin... yes that would make perfect sense, i noticed that mandrake was using 0.9.rc2 and naively assumed that i'd manage to upgrade it if i installed 0.9.rc5 from source (im not using rc6 yet because of the record problems in usb-audio - not sure if they were there in rc5 as well ). ok.... slight problem in that i've already run ./snddevices.... should i uninstall alsa 0.9.rc2? or just manually remove the modules it has installed? i'll install the extra libs, and i've got an .asoundrc for the quattro already.... my alsa portion of modules.conf reads like this at the moment: would you be able to correct it for me? im familiar with oss but quite new to alsa.... so im not used to these structures... thankx.... m~ # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 #alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 # card 1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # DEVFS STUFF alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 alias /dev/audio /dev/sound alias /dev/mixer /dev/sound alias /dev/dsp /dev/sound alias /dev/dspW /dev/sound alias /dev/midi /dev/sound kevin ernste wrote: | Mandrake 9.0 has it's own ALSA preinstalled (0.9rc2, I | believe).
