Just want to say that it should be the device name you will use to emerge alsa
I have a intel base mainboard I use snd-intel8x0
| Code: |
#env ALSA_CARDS='intel8x0' emerge alsa-driver
|
and in /etc/modules.d/alsa
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 |

Ok, followed by the howto and what U said and I got:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Initialising ALSA....
* Starting sound driver: snd-intel8x0 /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed
|
Dmesg says:
| Code: |
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 17:59:43 Dec 22 2002
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:1f.5
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.3
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64
i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0xef00 and 0xe800, IRQ 9
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5360 (Analog Devices AD1885)
i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2
i810_audio: setting clocking to 40967
|
Any clue?
Thanks

How is sound in your kernel configured?
You should have sound compiled as a module and no cards selected. |

Could you try this , because as you with the 2.4.19r10 I didn't get alsa to work .
So I downloaded from alsa-project the alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6.tar.bz2 ; lib ; util and Alsa OSS ver 0.9.0rc1 .
Untar each directory
went into each , in this order =( 1]driver , 2]lib ,3]utils , 4]oss)
just make a
| Code: |
./configure
make install
|
In each directory
and put in /etc/modules.autoload
| Code: |
snd-intel8x0
snd-mixer-oss
snd-pcm-oss
|
and to get sound , on the console
| Code: |
amixer set Master 100 unmute
amixer set PCM 100 unmute
amixer set Headphone 100 unmute
|
test the sound with aplay ....
if it's ok
you should create a script to load the amixer set ... at default runlevel
for me it works |
