[alsa-devel] problems with es1688 isa card on etch and lenny (ok with sarge)
Hello, I have an old notebook with ISA sound card which is detected by alsaconf as es18xx, or es1688 or sb16 and works. The problem is appeared when I replaced Debian Sarge with Debian Etch, and when I upgraded Etch to Lenny (i. e. with alsa versions in that distros). So, alsaconf detects and configures a sound driver, it works, but after restart to have a sound I must run alsaconf again. I think something is changed in the recent alsa distributions which probably deals with debian configuration of isa cards.
Thank you

This is basically a problem of distribution. The recent distros load the sound drivers via udev. And ISA cards aren't loaded via udev. (ISA PnP could be loaded via udev, but there were some bugs and they were fixed very recently.)
You must have a way to load the module statically at boot up. I have no idea at all how Debian does, unfortunately.

I'm afraid you're probably better of asking somewhere Debian specific. The solution is probably as easy as sticking in a
alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx
somewhere appropriate but where somewhere appropriate is and why it's different then before I don't know.
Rene.
