Bug Description

Since ubuntu 10.11 to ubuntu 11.11

I've got the same error message and Alsa cannot find my emu 1212m pci express card.

There is a bug when the module is loaded:

EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:06:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
Audigy2 value: Special config.
AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
AC'97 0 access is not valid [0x0], removing mixer.
EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:06:04.0: PCI INT A disabled
EMU10K1_Audigy: probe of 0000:06:04.0 failed with error -5

The device is not created and alsa cannot find it!

The device could work as it isn't a 1102:0004 model:
lspci -nn | grep audio
04:00.1 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio [1002:aa30]
06:04.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value [1102:0008]

I've installed alsa firmware from medibuntu
alsa support this card as it is mentioned on there website

I've googled for many hours... days...
Some people said that this card work on Fedora.

Lot of ubuntu users are waiting for help.

Thanks.

Thanks for your bug report. What happens if you remove the emu10k module options line from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf?

This are lines I added trying to get my card working.
After removing this lines and reload alsa:
sudo alsa force-reload

I have the same error message:

Hi,

I've found something on alsa bugtrack
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5250

the card is not recognized because the pci express card has a different PCI subsystem id:

.subsystem = 0x42011102 for pci
and
.subsystem = 0x40071102 for pcie

I've tried to rebuild alsa-source with module-assistant but:
1. build failed with this error: erreur fatale: linux/smp_lock.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
2. even if I could build it,it seems that m-a dowload and unpack systematicaly the sources. So I cannot edit emu10k1_main.c

Can you fix alsa package please?
If not, can you help me find the way to patch alsa sources on my system?
I've googled for tutorials but I didn't find help to do that for the moment.

Thank you for help.

Hi,

I've read the manual of module assistant and I find the way to modify source.
But if I try to build it "manually" (without m-a) it failed because of missing included files. I think it's not the good solution.

If I build it with m-a it failed because of missing linux/smp_lock.h. For that, I think that alsa-source package is not good because with a google search I find that "big lock" has been removed from kernel. So smp_lock.h should not be included on drivers code.

I've tried to build from git the last sources of alsa-driver... And the build finished successfully... but all modules seems to be broken and I cannot load it.

So I have to wait for your help.

If I could do something to get this card working, please tell me.

Best regards, David

Hi,

The patch posted here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5250
works for me.

I just have to build alsa-driver manualy after applying the patch.

download alsa-driver.tar.bz2

sudo tar xjvf alsa-driver.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver

copy the patch file here, then
patch -p1 -i emu1010pcie.patch

./configure
make
sudo make install

and then reboot.

tested on ubuntu 12.04

Hope that help someone.

The patch is not include on alsa 1.0.25 yet.
The alsa-source package still have a bug cause it fail on make command or with m-a.

Thanks.
