Greetings, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
immediately after a reboot I can clearly hear the white noise created by |
| 4 |
executing |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav |
| 7 |
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono |
| 8 |
$ |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
and the "lsmod" command lists quite a few loaded sound modules. Howev- |
| 11 |
er, after resuming from hibernation the same "aplay" command still pro- |
| 12 |
duces the same line on standard output, returns the same exit code of 0, |
| 13 |
but does not produce any sound. And the "lsmod" command still lists the |
| 14 |
same loaded modules. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Anybody having a clue what's happening here? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
And while we are at it: At |

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Gentoo_Kernel_Configuration_Guide |

|
| 22 |
the authors flatly state "Note that ALSA is an exception to the suggest- |
| 23 |
ed scheme of not building things as modules: ALSA is actually much easi- |
| 24 |
er to configure when the components are modular." without giving any |
| 25 |
further expanation. What precisely am I giving away when I build the |
| 26 |
ALSA stuff directly into the kernel? |
| 27 |
|

Sincerely, |
