ALSA - missing the sound module

ZagiFlyer · Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2002 11:00 pm Post subject: ALSA - missing the sound module

I have a Dell Latitude CPXj 650, which uses the Maestro3 sound hardware. I have compliled the kernel with sound support as a module (and in other attempts as part of the kernel) with no cards selected (and with and without oss in various attempts). I've emerged all the ALSA drivers and software per the Desktop Guide and the ALSA announcement. Also, I've tried with and without 'oss' in my USE var.

The trouble is that there is no snd_maestro3 module - it is just not there ('find / -name "snd_maestro*" -print' yields nothing, as well as manual searches under /lib/modules).

I've searched the forums and Google. I know the chipset is supported by ALSA, but I am not finding the module.

Any ideas :?:

First of all, thanks for the quick reply - one of the things that's cool about Gentoo is the activity in the forums.

I guess I left a few things out of my original post - notably that I tried snd-maestro3 as well. Sorry for the omission. :roll:

ZagiFlyer: Be sure that

After compiling alsa-drivers, look under "/lib/modules/kernel 2.4.xxx/kernel/drivers/sound" and see what modules alsa has compiled. This should help you figure out the name and stuff.

If you don't find anything in the above location, ignore the last folder "sound" and look for anything alsa related. The reason I am saying this is because I am not sure about the exact location anymore.

After kernel compiling, do you mount the boot partition on /boot ? If not, your kernel will not be overwritten and the new kernel will not be used. I see this mistake in a lot of topics so ...
