Hi all , sad newbie here :(
This too shall pass :-)
to recap i out a fresh demudi install on our studio
machine and got to
the point where i was confident I could record line in audio etc using
ardour, and play hydrogen etc etc.
So the date was set for the band to come in and record.
I booted the machine and alsa seems broken. errors below,, and i have no
idea where to start.
Its possible (it was a week ago memory faded with depression) that i
broke it when i tried to install a second sound card (thinking id get 4
inputs, ok I have learnt that doesnt work) but what ever i have done its
broken.
Sounds like a reasonable supposition.
I removed the 2nd card,
tried alsaconf
tried alsactl restore (got some no file found or something)
still no go :(
Could you post the contents of /etc/alsa/modultils/1.0 please?
now there is a point i had to apt get install gaim
with some other
settings on sources list I wonder if that screwed something up. Im sure
i had it working after that tho.
Did you notice anything else get upgraded at the same time? This shouldn't
have caused any problems.
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0c.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:08.0
ALSA ../alsa-kernel/pci/ens1370.c:527: wait source ready timeout 0xec10
[0xffffffff]
lots of the above line, and i mean lots
Try moving the soundcard to a different slot - which device is it sharing with
here?
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1868:
AC'97 0 access is not valid [0x0], removing mixer
This is interesting, I've no idea what it means. Do you have the right version
of alsa-modules installed?

This is normal, you haven't installed the pcmcia modules, presumably because
this isn't a laptop. You can ignore these warnings.
Loading driver...
Restoring ALSA mixer settings ... failed:
You may want to run 'alsactl restore' manually to view any errors.
Setting default volumes...
All this means is that you don't have ALSA configured correctly, you knew that
already. It should be fairly easy to sort out.
