Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.14 Distribution: Debian Testing Hardware Environment: SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) Problem Description: With the new kernel (compiled today) I'm not able to play any multichannels audio, like, for example, the game UT2004 (no sound at all) and an Xvid in ac3 (still no sound, absolutely nothing). The error thah xine gives me is (traslating from italian ones) "your soundcard seems locked by another process" (or something similar...) With 2.6.13.4 everything seems running well... Steps to reproduce: Compile alsa module (snd-emu10k1 and linked) and play anything in multichannels format
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.14 --EDIT-- Sorry please edit with this... Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.13.4
Try following the trouble shooting section on http://alsa.opensrc.org/
I had a similar problem http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5217 Upgrading my alsa-libs fixed it. Cheers, Andrew
