Sure, but that doesn't answer my question- can a real time clock still be used for sound? It appears not. Are we sure we don't need one of the two options available (RTC or RTC_GEN)?
-Dan Hi This is a good question, i don't have any idea how to test this. Or for what it should be good for.
The RTC is used, for example, with midi. My midi setup is broken for me with the latest [testing] kernel if I don't blacklist snd-rtctimer: playing a midi file results in just the first note going on forever. Funny thing is there's no such thing as snd-rtctimer.ko, but lsmod showed it, and removing it made midi working again. Corrado

Corrado could you show me the lsmod output? and did you reboot the pc?

Beginning to understand. When I first updated the kernel the modules were loaded and I didn't reboot. So, with 2.6.24.3-1 I had to blacklist snd-rtctimer. With 2.6.24.3-2 no blacklist is needed, and midi works. So I'd call it an improvement, but I don't know if it's card-dependent or not. I'm using emu10k1, btw. I don't think you need it, but you'll find lsmod's output attached to this message. On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 3:33 PM, Roman Kyrylych <roman.kyrylych@gmail.com> wrote:
maybe it's aliased in modprobe.conf or something like that?
Already answered this one =)
anyway you say that midi (which uses RTC) is still working with this kernel ;)
Yes, it works better than before, and I have no rtc-related modules loaded. I think the module that takes care of it is snd-timer. Corrado
