[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#703761: alsa-utils: Setting up ALSA with EMU10K1 fails and fallback does not work

[Markus Raab]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.25-4
Severity: important

During boot following messages are printed:
Sat Mar 23 09:40:04 2013: [....] Setting up ALSA...warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'Found hardware: "EMU10K1" "SigmaTel STAC9708,11" "AC97a:83847608" "0x1102" "0x8066"
Sat Mar 23 09:40:05 2013: Hardware is initialized using a generic method
Sat Mar 23 09:40:05 2013: [ ok tl: set_control:1328: failed to obtain info for control #43 (No such file or directory)'...done.

When /etc/modules contain following lines:
loop
gameport
sidewinder
it87
k8temp

Then there is some strange sound during bootup, but no sound at all in the desktop regardless of mixer settings/application.


But the sound works when I add at the end of /etc/modules:
vboxdrv

the bootlog says:
Sat Mar 23 11:37:53 2013: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
...
Sat Mar 23 11:38:03 2013: [ ok ] Setting up ALSA...done.

and the sound works perfectly.
