 |
|
| i followed the alsa guide in the gentoo docs. I used the built in kernel configuration with my intel AC97. recompiled the kernel. when i run alsaconf and select intel AC97 and it prepares to update-modules. It says module snd_*** not found. Any info would be appreciated. i searched the forums and documents and havent found anything that has worked so far. |

katsukun,
If you made ALSA built in, you don't have any module snd_.
You cannot usefully run alsaconf because there in nothing for it to configure.
Look in /dev/snd/ and /dev/sound if those directories exist and are populated, the kernel is OK.

Same problem here  | Code: | # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...
FATAL: Module snd_intel not found. [ !! ]
* Loading: snd-seq-oss ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss ... [ ok ]
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] |
My kernel is not built-in, and has the sound as a module without alsa.
Of course, i've emerged alsa-driver.
/dev/snd/ and /dev/sound exists and are populated.
Any ideas?
P.D.: Sorry for my bad english... |

BlackLodge,
is not the right name for your sound chip driver.
Its Its probably wrong in in /etc/modules.d/alsa here | Code: | | alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 |
Try | Code: | | modprobe snd-intel8x0 |
and see if it works. That should load your missiong module.

my /etc/modules.d/alsa is: | Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.co$
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# OSS/Free portion - card #
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
|
Yeah, modprobe works... But I have to do it, every time I reboot; and have to restore mixer levels too...
There is no another way? |

BlackLodge,
That looks good. The modprobe was just a test.
I have | Code: | ## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 |
in place of your
| Code: | | alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 |

Hi!
I've changed the file, but ALSA still doesn't work...
What libreries uses ALSA? Maybe isn´t a problem of ALSA
Thanks! |

BlackLodge,
Something is telling ALSA to load and it can't because it doesn't exist.
Can you look in your /etc/modules.conf file and see if snd_intel appears there?
Do not edit the file. Run modules-update to recreate the file based on the content of
What happens if you restart ALSA by hand with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsasound restart |

I see a line | Code: | alias snd-card-0 snd-intel
|
Is that the wrong line?
Thanks for the always fast reply!! |

|

Ok, I read carefully /etc/modules.conf, and there was a file called "alsa.save" where was the error:
| Code: | ## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel
|
So I made: | Code: | mv /etc/modules.d/alsa.save /root/
modules-update
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart |
and all works fine finally!!
But, what is "alsa.save"? What must I do with it? Simply erase?
Thanks a lot NeddySeagoon for the very useful help!
Salu2! |
