no sound device

mathfeel · l33t Joined: 03 Aug 2004 Posts: 700

I have an IBM T42. I read somewhere that the correct driver module for its on board sound is snd-intel8x0

I loaded that in /etc/module.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

modprobe has no problem, but /dev/sound/ is still an empty folder with no mix0 or whatever...?
Help?

hope this helps..

I jus tgot mine working I had to disable my parallel port as it was using the same irq as my sound card.

did you disable it in the BIOS? If sound doesn't work for linux, at least I want my parallel port works with my winxp dual boot. My printer (an old one) only has parallel...

Check your dmesg - mine was posting some messages in there. I got it working eventually - so long as I loaded the snd-intel8x0m module first. I've got no idea what the issue was actually about though.

I have bolded the only line I can find about my sound card (perhaps about the module I just loaded?)

I can't figure out what's wrong.

Those lines are basically exactly what I get when the modules loads successfully (slightly different number of usecs, which I can't see being important).

I think that's about the end of my expertise, sorry. Once I'd got mine loading okay it created everything in /dev and all was good.
