Hi all, I'm newbie at gentoo and this is my first post so be gently please :)
I having problems with the sound on my gentoo runing on my Ultra 10.
I made a search on this forum and I read that I should compile my kernel with the CS4231 option only and selecting no support for sound cards, so I did it and of course it didn't work. I also read that may be OSS, so I select sound card support and OSS and it was the same.
Please any suggestions and comments will be welcome, even when you think, it can be this....remember I'm a newbie at gentoo and linux in general, but I got to tell you,
I love Gentoo!!

Thanks.

I have the following working nicely on a u10:

Linux/SPARC audio subsystem --->
<M> Audio support
<M> CS4231 Lowlevel driver

Then tinker with audioctl 'till you get some noise.

Note that sparc audio isn't the same as x86 audio -- no ALSA or OSS for us, and PCI sound probably won't work.

I have exactly that configuration, but when I execute audioctl it says
dev/audioctl: No such file or directory

I dont know how to set it or if I have to, the /etc/default/audioctl file.

Thanks again

try "modprobe cs4231"
the module probably isn't loaded...

This is what happend when I do that:
Abaddon linux # modprobe cs4231

/lib/modules/2.4.21-sparc-r1/kernel/drivers/sbus/audio/audio.o: insmod cs4231 failed

root 33 1 0 Oct06 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/devfsd /dev

What's the output of "grep DEVFS /usr/src/linux/.config"? I'd expect it to be:

CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
# CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set

If not, try those settings...

I'm still have cero audio. There's no one that can give me a hand, whatever I'll try it.
Did you see the output of the modprobe command? What is the issue with the unresolved symbol devfs....... can I install this again?, it can be something that I didnt set in the kernel config?

Any help will be very appreciate. Thanks again.
Walter
