    Req: /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig

    Hello,

    for quite a while, I am running a HD-installation of knx 3.3. Now, I'd like to install some Midi-apps, hence I had to apt-get install alsamixer and so on. This got me the error messages quoted below - and so I deinstalled knx-alsa including the alsa-autoconfig script.

    As opposed to sndconfig, alsa-conf doesnt find my Terratec PCI sound card (Cirrus Logic chip) - although XMMS using OSS still plays fine. Anyway, I feel I should reinstall knx-alsa which is not possible with apt-get! Hence I am looking for the original source code of the script. I can't find it on google.

    Thanks a lot!

    P.S. This was the Error code that made me deinstall knx-alsa:

    You could change to the cache cd /var/cache/apt/archive and then dpkg -i --force-overwrite alsa-utils_0.9.6-1_i386.deb to force the overwrite and hope it works. Or you can go here and get the original it looks like the developer site is back online.

    Not ideal is it.. :(

    A stupid comment used to be here.
    I still haven't got alsa to work,
    even as it is supplied w/ the drivers
    for my sound card.

    I have the drivers, but I can't compile them. /usr/src/linux is present... but is it all really there?

    Thanks
