Description Harald Glatt 2003-11-08 21:46:08 UTC 
I am having difficulties using 2 soundcards...

One of them is a NVIDIA Onboard NForce 2 Audio and the other one is a
PCI Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS...

Kudzu detected 2 Soundcards and added them to /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
but no audio driver is being loaded.

When I manually modprobe i810_audio (for the nvidia card) or modprobe
audigy (for the creative) it works perfect - it's just not getting
loaded by default for some strange reason...

Also the redhat-config-soundcard program doesn`t work... It crashes
upon startup with this information:

--- kudzu crash message ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/usr/share/redhat-config-soundcard/redhat-config-soundcard.py", line
44, in ?
    app = soundcard.childWindow()
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-soundcard/soundcard.py", line 162, in
__init__
   
self.primaryDeviceMenu.set_active(self.cardList.index(self.soundcardBackend.getDefaultCard()))
ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list
--- kudzu crash message end ---


Here are the AUDIO specific sections from the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file:

--- /etc/sysconfig/hwconf AUDIO stuff end---

I do not know for sure why the audio drivers aren't started up at
bootup and why the redhat-config-soundcard doesn't work... I'm not
sure whether this bug is due to kudzu... 

This is a fresh Fedora Core 1 (Yarrow) install... (about 1 hour old)

If something isn't clear or I should post more log files or something
just tell me, I'll provide any info I can ;)

What's your /etc/modules.conf look like?

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2003-11-10 19:27:09 UTC 
If you change the aliases from sound-slot-{1,2,3} to
sound-slot-{0,1,2} do things behave more sanely?
Comment 7 Harald Glatt 2003-11-10 19:40:06 UTC 
Wow, this fixed the issue...

The modules for both soundcards are beeing loaded at startup now and
the redhat-config-sound works flawless now!!

I changed /etc/modules.conf like you told me to...
Afterwards I rebooted and started redhat-config-sound when the system
was back up...
It detected both soundcards and seems to have changed the
/etc/modules.conf again. It dropped the 3rd sound card... I will do a
new attachment in a few secs after this post...

Everything works ok now, but which program did the fault to name those
devices wrong in the /etc/modules.conf during install?

Comment 9 Bill Nottingham 2003-11-10 20:55:58 UTC 
The last entry (sound-slot-2/3) is for a USB audio device, FWIW.
If it's not attached, it won't get written.

It's probably a kudzu bug somewhere that sound-slot-0 was skipped.
Comment 10 Harald Glatt 2003-11-10 21:02:39 UTC 
Strange thing, well at least its fixed for me now...
Comment 11 Peter Backlund 2004-03-09 23:09:24 UTC 
Dupe of 115198
Comment 12 Toni Willberg 2004-03-09 23:15:59 UTC 
The bug is actually in system-config-soundcard, the component should
be changed. 

I set this depending on 115198 which describes the actualy bug.
