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....

|
| urpmi libalsa-devel
| ...which installs
| libalsa2-devel-0.9.0-0.8rc2mdk.i586.rpm
| AND
| urpmi alsa-utils
| ...which installs alsa-utils-0.9.0-0.6rc2mdk.i586.rpm
|
| Then create an .asoundrc, etc.
|
| The modules.conf syntax used by Mandrake is somewhat
| less verbose than off of the ALSA site, but seems to
| work equally well. For this machine with an rme9652,
| modules.conf says simply:
|
| alias sound-slot-0 snd-rme9652
| above snd-rme9652 snd-pcm-oss
|
| The devfs system takes care of creating snddevices for
| you (and this is mentioned in the ALSA installation
| instructions). It specifies NOT to run ./snddevices
| on devfs enabled systems, like Mandrake.
|
| So, as to how to solve your problem, try to sort out
| the old modules from the new, discarding the old if
| possible (old are in
| /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/ on my system,
| with subdirs:
|
| core i2c isa pci synth usb
