Bugzilla – Bug 131514
YaST cannot configure sound.
Last modified: 2006-05-17 09:09:22 UTC
YaST insists my web cam is "Configured as sound card number" with "Driver snd-ens1370" which is incorrect. My PCI sound card, a Sound Blaster PCI 128 which is listed as ES1370 says it is not configured. The 1370 driver should be used for the ES1370. If I attempt to edit or delete any of the items, YaST immediately terminates. No reason for the termination is recorded in y2log

Please, attach 'hwinfo --sound' output.

Note that I am attempting to work around this... I have forced a reinstall of yast2-sound and alsa, but still no luck. Where does YaST store the configuration information?
The sound configuration is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/sound file and in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* files (use grep -H sound /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* to find the right ones). If you want to reset the configuration completely then remove the files and unoad ALSA drivers (rcalsasound unload). Please, attach the files here before removing them! Then you can start the yast module and configure the soundcard from scratch.

I already deleted /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-bus-pci-00:09:... which contained the sound information. I could not find anything amiss with it. I see no reference to the USB audio device YaST2 sees, which is my USB webcam. Unplugging that does not help.
After running rcalsasound unload and deleting the files everything appears to have worked.
Just to get more info about the issue: Did you do an update or full installation? What did you do exactly?
I did an update, which may be why I am having so many problems. I am still seeing a problem where Alsa does not load the kernel module when booting up, but if I run /etc/init.d/alsasound restart that seems to fix it, though I'm getting frequent crashes in knotify. Though perhaps I should open another bug for this. (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Please, do not forget to change the status back to ASSIGNED when you provide requested info! Anyway, the product is too old, could you test the latest 10.1 build (currently RC3)?
No information provided, if it still happens in 10.1(final) then reopen please.
