Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2002 9:11 pm Post subject: Soundcard under Linux... |
|
|
High,
I wanna say thankz 2 all you people helping my out with my Gentoo probz.. System is up now using KDE.. And now it's time to get some sound out of this Compaq Presario 1800 (Laptop)..
I downloaded the Alsa drivers as described in the Desktop manual and now I want to edit the /etc/modules.d/alsa file like in the line below..
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
I'm supposed to replace the snd-card with the module from my card but I simple not know which one that is. Booting with the install cd only gives me the module of my ethernet card.. When I start Preferences - Information - Sound it says I don't have any Soundcard Config.. When I start the PCI detection it detects a ESS Technology Solo card.. That's the correct one..
I compiled my kernel with sound enabled and ESS Technology Solo1 support.. I double checked that..
Anybody knows what to do ??? Help this newby out _________________ Resist.. Refuse !! |

open a console window,
and type the following code (adapt where you have to):
Code: | cd /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/sound |
then list the sound drivers available with
.
All the sound modules you compiled should be in there, they have very self-explainatory names, you should not have a problem finding urs.
In case you can't find ur module, u probably will have to re-compile your kernel with support for your sound card. _________________ Hello. |

That must be the problem.. There are nou sound drivers.. But it's pretty weird to, cause I'm absolutely sure I compiled it with sound support.. Watching at the sources right now with the linux kernel configurator in KDE..
Code: |
+ Sound
+ Sound card support
+ ESS Technology Solo1
+ OSS sound modules
|
The rest ain't activated.. I compiled my kernel like in the manual and moved copy'd it to /boot..
Code: |
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
|
Reboot.. And still no drivers installed..
Just don't get it anymore..

If you enabled your sound card support in the kernel, you can't use ALSA. _________________ I don't believe in witty sigs. |

if you do not know your soundcard, then install / emerge pciutils and then run lspci.. perhaps you'll get the information about your soundcard... i would prefer to load the sound-kernel-module instead of using alsa...

I searched the forum and already found a post about pciutils so I emerged it.. It's an: ESS Technology ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive so I tried snd-es1969 but I won't work..
Perhaps somebody could post his (or hers) /etc/modules.d/alsa to help me out ?? _________________ Resist.. Refuse !! |

err... a stupid question (but who ever knows):
did you compile ur sound modules as modules (<M>) or statically in the kernel (<*>)???
if its static in the kernel, like delta said, you cant use alsa _________________ Hello. |

I have CMI8738 sound chip onboard, and in the kernel config I picked that under sound <Y> before compiling the kernel. Previous posts say that if I did this that I cannot use alsa, then how do I install and get sound? |

Well,
Forget about Alsa.. I can't get this thing to work.. So I compiled sound enabled into my kernel..
What should I do now?? Adding 'my user' to the sound group?? How should I do that?? With Kuser??
Damn.. I'm just a newbie

Ok so if one compiles in the sound support statically into the kernel, what then? Use OSS utils or something.....? Thats the one thing that the install guide doesn't deal well with is when alsa just don't wanna work. |
