Created attachment 35267 [details] modules.conf
Sound card is a PNP AWE64.
The fix appears to be to change the line in modules.conf to read post-install sb ... instead of post-install sound-slot-0
I have the same problem except in my case (Compaq Armada 7800 laptop) the result is feedback between the mike and speakers. My sound card is an ESS ES1879 which also uses the sb driver module. The real problem is in rc.sysinit at lines 442-444. It is looking up the alias for sound-slot-0 and then loading the module by calling modprobe with the alias name (sb in both our cases). Unfortunately, as jaco_botha noted, the post-install and pre-remove lines in /etc/modules.conf that cause aumix-minimal to be called are for sound-slot-0 and don't get called for a modprobe of sb. I believe the correct fix is to change line 444 of rc.sysinit to modprobe sound-slot-0 instead of the alias name. This will work for any sound driver, not just the sb driver. I've made this change and it works great for me. Incidentally the same thing is done for the sound alias in lines 437-441. I suspect this should also modprobe the sound name instead of the alias but don't think it causes any problems currently. Cheers, John McCarthy.
Will be fixed in 6.51-1, thanks!
