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@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@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@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

Segmentation fault
[robcanning@localhost robcanning]$ pd_gui: pd process exited
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
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
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
