[Alsa-user] Problem at boot (with modprobe)

[Dimitrios B. <ba...@ho...>]

Hi,

I have a Linux Redhat 6.1 distribution with a 2.2.12-20 kernel.
I am using a Soundblaster PCI 128 card (with the snd-card-ens1371
module).

Everything is OK (or so it seems) with the actual sound, except:

The only way to restore my mixer settings at boot time
is by including the line:

/usr/local/bin/alsactl restore

in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file

Alsasound starts us OK at boot time but without that line all my mixer
channels
are zeroed and muted.

Adding this line then, gives the following errors (from
/var/log/messages):

Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-1
Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-1
Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-2
Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-2
Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-3
Aug 29 21:57:03 localhost modprobe: can't locate module snd-card-3

and also:

Aug 29 21:59:14 localhost modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0

Here's my /etc/modules.conf file:

alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 off
alias sound-service-0-11 off
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371


and my /etc/asound.conf file:

  }
}


Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
