Where do I find alsa-base.conf on TCL?

Hi folks.

Is there an alsa-base or alsa-base.conf on the system?
Usually it resides in /etc/modprobe.d on debian systems.

THY for your support.

Juanito:
Does this help (from alsa.tcel.info):
--- Code: --- To initialize alsa without having to use alsaconf, there is a
script that will do that. 
It can be placed in /opt/bootlocal.sh so it alsa will be setup
on boot with no user interaction required.  The command to do this is:

/usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start

If you want your alsa settings to persist across reboots, use the
command 'alsactl store' after alsa has been set up.  This stores the
configuration in /etc/asound.state.  Place this file in your backup to
allow your alsa settings to persist across sessions.

--- End code ---

I usually configure multiple soundcards with different module options (index/mid/etc.)  in alsa-base.

I don't think that your solution would work.

Jason W:
Alsa-base is a Debian package, and some of it's files and procedures of setting things up are Debian specific.  I have run 2 different soundcards with alsa on TC, normally using alsaconf and selecting the card works.   /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/asound.state are the files that alsa stores it's configs in on TC. 

For using the /usr/local/etc/alsasound script on boot, blacklisting the module of the card you do not want to use may allow automatic loading of the other card.

TC uses a modified alsaconf and alsasound scripts to work with our setup, but one should be able to set up alsa per the alsa docs on their site all the same if this doesn't work.

I just started with TCL a couple of hours ago.  I am more than happy that I got a basic persistent TCL system running.  I even managed to get my internal soundcard to  work  ;)
All this for sure was not a Linux-newbie task. It needs quite some Linux in-depth knowledge to get the system going.

Anyhow Thx for the hints. It's always a bit tricky to switch Linuxes.
