DE2 SOUND BUG




Author: Mikero@norfolk.nf


An erroneus sound slot errror appears in /var/log/messages when kde2 first starts up.

This 'bug' exists on all versions of kde2 up to (at least) kde2.2-11

For some inexplicable reason, kde defaults to TWO mixers and TWO soundcards. This causes modprobe to scream that it cannot find sound-slot-1 (the second card).

The fix is easy

Control Center (Big Green Button) -> Sound -> Mixer -> Hardware settings.

change both values from "2" to "1"

Voila.

Note. There is no damage caused by the default settings, it is merely annoying to see it in var/log/messages and leads to the erroneous assumption that something is 'wrong' with your /etc/modules.conf
