|
|
I have been digging through the forums and figured out that I need to compile sound into to the kernel for it to work.
I believe that is "working" as dmesg shows audio0 being configured.
Code: | audio0: cs4231a(eb2) at 1fff1200000 irq 13,7e3 |
audio0 ends up being a directory in /dev. I can't cat anything to it(tells me its a directory) and KDE doesn't like it.
I do not have any other sound support compiled(module or otherwise)
| O O
| O O I am plugged into this jack on the back of my machine.

From the looks of it, this seems to be a sticking point for alot of people and I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried the esound driver but that doesn't work (xmms) either.
Anyone got any ideas? |

How are you managing your /dev directory? I'm running DevFS on sparc-sources-2.4.30, and I get Code: | # ls -dl /dev/au*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Jul 11 16:20 /dev/audio -> sound/audio
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Jul 11 16:20 /dev/audioctl -> sound/audioctl
# ls -l /dev/sound/
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Jan 1 1970 audio
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 7 Jan 1 1970 audioctl
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jan 1 1970 dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 5 Jan 1 1970 dspW
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jan 1 1970 mixer
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 6 Jan 1 1970 status |
What is in your /dev/audio0 directory? Is it something like the above contents of my /dev/sound? In that case, you are probably just missing the symlinks.
In the kernel, I have only the stuff under "Linux/SPARC audio subsystem" selected, nothing under "Sound". The result looks like an OSS device to userspace. |

Well I have the sound dir in /dev already and it looks like what you have posted. Otherwise audio0 is empty.
I did kind of a half stage3 half stage2 install and I think that might be one thing that could be causing problems.
Gonna start over and try it again. |

cs4231 doesn't work well (or at all) with 2.6 kernels FYI. _________________ Gustavo Zacarias

Hi zachula,
did you get any further? I have run into exactly the same problem with my Ultra 10. |
