Description Olaf Hering 2007-08-23 08:41:04 UTC

10.3b2 on kiwi.suse.de

yast did show a configured sound card in the hardware configuration screen in the second stage of the install. But after login or reboot no sound module is loaded.
For some reason, an rcalsasound restart loads the driver modules. But the permissions on /dev/snd/controlC0 do not get set, so that is not a useable workaround.

fails also on ibook, but yast did show a configured sound card in the hardware config step

Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2007-08-23 11:57:58 UTC

trying to test the volume in the sound config dialog during second stage works ok.
also, after second stage the console beep works because the modules are still loaded.
but aplay fails because /dev/snd/controlC0 cant be opened by the local user.

Does the problem still exist in 11.1?

Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2009-01-07 06:51:51 UTC

yes, thats where I found the issue.

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2009-01-21 07:35:47 UTC

I thought /dev/snd/* permission was fixed on 11.1.  At least, there is nothing special regarding snd-powermac driver.
Could you check whether the permission problem still exists?

Also, I suppose the module loading works if you add snd-powermac to $MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT in /etc/sysconfig/kernel?

Comment 7 Olaf Hering 2009-01-21 08:19:15 UTC

I have to retest on the imac kiwi.suse.de.
Comment #5 was meant for another bug.

Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2009-02-09 17:59:42 UTC

this appears to work now.
