Author sound works until reboot

Hi everybody!

I am new with linux and debian and I need help configuring my
soundcard.

I installed my soundcard drivers with the following script:
intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh

My soundcard seems to be configured correctly since I can hear sound
after running the script. The thing is, when I reboot, I have always
to run the script again to get sound back.

What should I do to get my soundcard working after reboot without
having to run the script again?

Thanks!

Eric

Add an entry to /etc/modules for the relevant sound module.

Run lsmod to find the name of the module.

On my box it's "snd-es18xx". On yours it will be something else
beginning with "snd-".

also, add yourself to the audio group.

#adduser <your user name> audio

I checked the loaded modules before running intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.sh and
after running it (with lsmod). I noticed that the following modules
were loaded after the shell script:

snd-intel8x0
snd-seq-oss
snd-seq-midi-event
snd-seq
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss

So I added all these modules in /etc/modules. It seems to work, but
when I first boot, I get a message like "sound: device or resource
busy" when I try to run my sound programs. If I wait a few minutes, I
can run my sound programs without that warning message. So, my
question is: how can I remove this warning message? What is taking
busy my device? Is it caused by the order of the snd-* modules put in
/etc/modules ?

Thanks!

Eric

If you're running KDE, you might need to adjust the settings of the
sound server or disable it. Otherwise it will monopolise sound output
for a while after any KDE system sound. I find ten seconds a
reasonable setting.

If you're not running KDE, some other process may be using the sound
device, but I don't know what it would be. Finding out what processes
are running would be the best way of finding out.

Please don't top-post, by the way.

It worked! It was the KDE sound server setting.

Thanks a lot!
