Normal boot: lsmod shows soundcore, maestro3, ac97_codec, but attempt to communicate with sound card cause kpanel to lock up, and other screen lockups. Tried upgrading kernel. No help. (running 2.4.18-14) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot 2.open konsole 3.playwave /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav Actual Results: kpanel becomes 100% unresponsive, no sound is played, and cursor doesn't come back until I use a cntrl-c on the playwave request. Expected Results: Should have played the wave, etc. Additional info: I manually removed all sound componenets vi rmmod (soundcore, maestro, ac97_codec. Manually inserted with insmod in THIS ORDER: 1. soundcore 2. sound (not loaded on normal boot, and lsmod still says unused . .) 3. ac97_codec 4. maestro3 After doing it like this, sound worked. I'm not a driver writer, so I'm just about neck deep at this point. Can't take it any deeper for you. /etc/modules.conf has: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c59x alias sound-slot-0 maestro post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller usb-uhci Hope this helps. If you find a quick/easy fix, please tell me? I don't really want to add all this to rc.local
This looks like a dup of 76148
After reviewing 76148, I tend to agree that they are likely the same problem. However, I had not found out about the killing of esd. BTW - compiling your own 2.4.18-17.8.0-custom doesn't help.
