From: Dylan Taft To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've been using alsa compiled outside the kernel for several months, it broke some time ago around 2.6.27 for my hardware. alsa-driver-1.0.19 works fine, for snd-hda-intel With whatever version is in the kernel now, when the modules are loaded, dmesg fills up with hda_codec: invalid dep_range_val 0:7fff alsa driver 1.0.19 will work, but ALSA /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/work/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:623: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x100f0000 ALSA /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/work/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1258: hda_intel: Codec #1 probe error; disabling it... hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from BIOS... d13f00l-desktop diefool # shows in dmesg,it works totally fine though lspci -k 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 3a3e Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel If you do a quick google on invalid_dep_range_val, a bunch of bugs have been filed for various distros, but it's been fixed in later versions of alsa. This would save a lot of headaches for newer users unfamiliar with alsa if it was merged into the kernel. Any comments? Thanks! Dylan
