Hello,<br>I'm noticing a rash of alsa-lib warnings popping up durring the boot phase of my archlinux system.<br><br>I managed to capture the messages below. I don't completely understand what alsalib is complaining about. To me, it looks like it is having trouble <br>identifying/loading speaker configurations (I'm presuming "front," "center" and "side" refer to surround-sound speakers). Speakup is reading these <br>messages, so I am getting sound. I'm using a laptop, with whatever built-in sound the machine has--most often the headphone jack.<br><br>Does anyone know what might be causing this problem and how I might go about correcting it?<br><br><br>:: Restoring ALSA Levels <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting Espeakup <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting speech dispatcher Daemon <br>[BUSY]<br>[Thu Oct 20 15:52:47 2011 : 439163] speechd: Speech Dispatcher 0.8-dev starting<br> <br>[DONE]<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.side<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.surround71<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi<br>ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.ATIIXP.pcm.modem.0:CARD=0'<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4663:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.phoneline:CARD=0,DEV=0<br>ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.ATIIXP.pcm.modem.0:CARD=0'<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4663:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.phoneline:CARD=0,DEV=0<br>ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.ATIIXP.pcm.modem.0:CARD=0'<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4663:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM phoneline<br>ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.ATIIXP.pcm.modem.0:CARD=0'<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4184:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib conf.c:4663:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory<br>ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM phoneline<br>ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:957:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only playback stream<br>:: Starting Syslog-NG <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting IP Tables <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting Network <br>[DONE]<br>:: Mounting Network Filesystems <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting Cron Daemon <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus <br>[DONE]<br>:: Setting cpufreq governing rules , cpu 0 <br>[DONE]<br>:: Starting laptop-mode <br>[DONE] </div></body>
