From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: As noted on the alsa docs for usb audio devices: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=usb-audio you can't have both the "old" usb system audio.o module and the "new" alsa snd-usb-audio.o module loaded at the same time, because audio.o preempts use of the alsa driver. However, FC2 is loading the audio.o driver during the boot process. I could not figure out how to prevent this, but presumably someone there knows how to do this, and it should be done otherwise any usb audio device is essentially unusable in the system given that it is using alsa. This is also a problem for kudzu, which generates the wrong entries in /etc/modprobe.conf, specifying the old audio driver instead of the snd-usb-audio driver. Note that the above problem persists even when modprobe.conf is fixed to specify snd-usb-audio. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hotplug-2004_04_01-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. attach a usb audio device, configure it with kudzu 2. fix /etc/modprobe.conf to specify snd-usb-audio instead of audio 3. reboot Actual Results: cat /proc/asound/cards etc does not specify the device lsmod shows that audio module is loaded. Expected Results: cat /proc/acound/cards should show the audio device, it should show up in the mixer, etc Additional info:
We should turn off the old audio driver...

Should be fixed in future kernel builds (2.6.7-1.470 or so).
Might this be why I can't get my USB headset working with ALSA(FC2) ? It works with OSS emulation through /dev/dsp1, but not through alsa.
Very likely, yes.
