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)?

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

maybe it's aliased in modprobe.conf or something like that? anyway you say that midi (which uses RTC) is still working with this kernel ;) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
