Hallo Hannie,

Ik vind het erg lief dat je aan me denkt,maar zou me toch uit de adressenlijst 
willen verwijderen.Ik gebruik dat namelijk op zeer zakelijke wijze en bij hoe 
meer mensen allemaal ge cc'd wordt,hoe groter de kans dat er een tussen zit 
met  virussen die dan geheel op eigen initiatie ook mijn adres weer door gaat 
sturen met alle ellende en gespam van dien.Ik gebruik dit account 
bijvoorbeeld voor de band en wat er mee samenhangt en ik hoop nog lang 
plezier te hebben van dit adres.De hoeveelheid mail die ik binnenkrijg 
vanwege allerlei virussen(bij een ander) begint zolangzamerhand uit de klauw 
te lopen en elke windoze computer waar mijn adres in staat kan geinfecteerd 
worden,dus ook via de mensen waar jij collectief aan meelt.Bovendien open ik 
standaard geen attachments.Dus bij deze,sorry,maar graag eraf.

Groetjes.

 What's the use of this mod then?

  The trick is to switch the order of your cards so
that /dev/dsp is
 attached to your ac97 on-board first, instead of your ice1712. If you
 make 'alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0', you'll probably find the game will
 work happily. 
 True, once I can make this crappy "intel8x0" utter any sound, and cope with
 the other cards (the first one only in /etc/modules.conf is working)!

 Modprobing it works silently, cating /proc/asound/cards tells the truth,
 routing XMMS to /dev/dsp aliased to it makes the built-in spectrogram
 appear... but no sound comes out of my speakers (cables connections and
 volume sliders checked). As I said, there's that "[Off]" label on all
 alsamixer channels.

 Cheers,
 Christian

  I've found a way of unmuting ALSA sound cards
at startup, but it does
 work only if alsamixer (or the card-specific mixer) is just launched
 before all other audio apps.
 If I launch XMMS, for example, first, all levels are set to 0.

 Here's the code to be put at the end of /etc/modules.conf:

 post-install snd-card-1 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
 pre-remove snd-card-1 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

 Do you know a better-working solution? 
 If you are using Planet CCRMA that should be done automatically by the
 alsasound alsa startup script (it will execute at boot time when it
 starts the alsa driver). For that to work you have to activate it by
 doing "/sbin/chkconfig --add alsasound" (and then check it is active byt
 saying "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsasound"). On a subsequent boot alsa
 will be started automatically and alsactl will restore whatever you
 saved.

 Using the alsasound start up service? ;)

  My USB MIDI devices refuse not to be loaded, when
plugged-in at startup, 
 You mean, "refuse to be loaded", right?

  before all other ALSA devices which are then
"stealthed".

 As mentionned on the Planet CCRMA pages, I've made sure that "audio" and
 "usb-midi" aren't hotplugged on /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
 I've installed too the alsasound mod script given by Fernando Pablo
 Lopez-Lezcano on the thead "[PlanetCCRMA] usb audio and midi devices:
 loading and unloading drivers".
 All silently... 
 You should erase the oss seq aliases for the 2nd and subsequent cards,

 they are not needed (change made in the following quotation):
  Here's a snippet of my /etc/modules.conf:
 alias usb-controller usb-uhci
 alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd

 # ALSA portion
 alias char-major-116 snd
 alias char-major-14 soundcore

 alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
 alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
 alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio
 alias snd-card-4 snd-virmidi

 # Terratec EWX 24/96
 alias sound-slot-0 snd-ice1712
 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
 options snd-card-ice1712 snd_enable
 alias /dev/dsp1 snd-pcm-oss

 # Shuttle Intel Audio Chipset
 alias sound-slot-1 snd-intel8x0
 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
 alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
 alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
 options snd-intel8x0 snd_enable
 alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss

 # M-Audio Radium 61
 alias sound-slot-2 snd-usb-audio
 alias sound-service-2-0 snd-mixer-oss
 alias sound-service-2-3 snd-pcm-oss
 alias sound-service-2-12 snd-pcm-oss

 # Edirol UM-1S
 alias sound-slot-3 snd-usb-audio
 alias sound-service-3-0 snd-mixer-oss
 alias sound-service-3-3 snd-pcm-oss
 alias sound-service-3-12 snd-pcm-oss

 # VirMIDI
 alias sound-slot-4 snd-card-4

 What's wrong? 
 Hmm, maybe adding this:

 options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=4

 Otherwise snd_card_limit has a default of "1"? (I'm not sure).

 The other aliases except  "alias sound-slot-2 snd-usb-audio" also
 could go away if this is a pure midi device without PCM audio.

 Christian Frisson:
  Hi,
 I've got a one-year-old Shuttle SB51G, loaded with a Terratec EWX 24/96
 "ice1712" soundcard and a Gygabyte Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB video card
 (just for the facts...), running Fedora Core 1 / Planet CCRMA
 successfully. Getting circa 11 ms of latency with Jack set (untweaked) at
 256 frames per period and 2 periods per buffer.

 While adding an PCI soundcard seems quite natural to make music on these
 boxes, why not add a RAM-loaded AGP video card too then? 
 I wouldn't do that, I think. It just adds heat, and that box makes
 horrible noise when heated. At least mine does. The built in graphic card
 and soundcard works just great.

  My tip: don't go for the hypest nForce2
models of the Shuttle series, buy
 a cheaper (or older) one, whose chipsets are known compliant with Linux,
 disable the video chipset, and invest the gained price difference on an
 entry 3D video card with built-in RAM! 
 No, nforce2 is well supported in linux now. I don't know about nforce3...
