I'm running an HDSP/Multiface on a planet ccrma
Redhat 9.0 system. I'm having
this problem when I restart alsasound. Below is the readout of `/sbin/service
alsasound restart` ... Comments/hints?
Shutting down sound driver [ OK ]
Starting sound driver snd-hdsp [ OK ]
Starting sequencer [ OK ]
Starting sequencer driver snd-seq-midi [ OK ]
Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:799: warning: iface
mismatch (2/1) for control #23
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:805: warning: name mismatch (Chn/ADAT Lock Status) for
control #23
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:784: failed to obtain info for control #24 (No such file
or directory)
[FAILED]
That's what happens when you update alsa and something has changed in
the naming or order or whatever of the mixer controls. The state
information stored in /etc/asound.state cannot be properly interpreted
when reloaded by alsactl.
To fix go into alsamixer (or the hdsp* utilities), make sure that all
options are as you want them and then do:
alsactl store
That will store new information in asound.state. Subsequent restarts of
alsa should give no error messages (until another upgrade messes things
up again :-)
