[gentoo-user] alsa just mucked up my cards on reboot

[Michael Higgins]

IDK what happened. I rarely restart the server.

Two cards, both share ac_97 module. via_82xx and ice_1712

Has anyone had to fix this recent development? Any clues as to what
changed under the hood?

Cheers,

Hi,

I'm assuming you never specified the order and luckily they always
came up in the same order until now. I have 2 hda-intel sound devices
in my computer and the order seems to be random, until I specified it.

Check out this wiki page:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards#How_to_choose_a_particular_order_for_multiple_installed_cards

Or if that doesn't work and you need to take the "Nuclear" option and
use udev :)

Well, I was able to rmmod ice_1712 and modprobe, restart alsa and use
it.

Does that give a clue to anyone? Anyone else on this list doing
multiple audio cards seeing them suddenly disappear, or whatever?
Probably I need to load them (the modules) with different/new options?

I'd love any feedback or suggestions as to how to fix this.

cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf 

alias char-major-116 snd

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx

alias snd-card-1 snd_mpu401
alias sound-slot-1 snd_mpu401

alias snd-card-2 snd-ice1712
alias sound-slot-2 snd-ice1712

options snd cards_limit=2 
options snd slots=snd-via82xx,snd_mpu401,snd-ice1712

Is there any way to guarantee that this setup will survive a reboot?


Cheers,

Well, the setup survived rebooting... *this* time. IDK what the heck
that was all about. Too bad I can't say what caused it. :(

Sorry for the noise!

Cheers,
