I did this:

Is the module actually in your /lib/modules/<your kernel>/ directories?

You could try running 'depmod' and trying again. I think you need to run that once before installing new modules to tell it that the new ones exist.

Where in that directory should I look?

I tried depmod, no difference...

thanks for the help

/lib/modules/<your kernel>/kernel/sound/pci

I don't even have the directory 'sound' under /lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r3/<here>

Can you paste your .config?

when you did make menuconfig, did you do that in the source directory for the kernel you are currently using? make sure the version shown in menuconfig matches "uname -r"

I like the think I have a good hold on this stuff sometimes :oops:

the .config from where?

joeljkp · Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 2:08 am Post subject:

If you've done it correctly, there should be a .config file in the main folder of whatever kernel you configured.

Usually, this is /usr/src/<kernel-version>/.config (or /usr/src/linux/.config if you have the symlinks set up right).

OK I got it!! oh what a relief, and something so stupid of me - you were right about being in the correct directory when I did the make menuconfig && make modules_install.

It now runs it, but it still isn't running snd-seq. What is snd-seq? Maybe I didn't module it yet.

I want to thank you guys for your efforts and replies, you really don't understand how much I appreciate it. The replies are what makes this board go round

hi all:

i have the same problem with my via82xx soundcard...

i wanna restart the alsasound,but i have a problem : -(

bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.
* Unloading ALSA...
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
* Unloading modules [ !! ]
[ ok ]
* ALSA Detected...
* Restoring Mixer Levels

--------------------------------------------------------------
I try to the modprobe via82xx

bash-2.05b# modprobe via82xx
FATAL: Module via82xx not found.

=============================================

it looks that i don't have the .config file in the kernel directory...

bash-2.05b# ls /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1
COPYING Module.symvers crypto ipc scripts
CREDITS README drivers kernel security
Documentation REPORTING-BUGS fs lib sound
MAINTAINERS System.map include mm usr
Makefile arch init net vmlinux
bash-2.05b#

===================================

why i don't have the .config file? but in fact , i selected via82c686 as M in the 2.6.8.1,and it also been load...

bash-2.05b# lsmod

HERES HOW I DID IT:

Recompile the kernel (2.6.8.1) WITH:
Loadable Modules > * Module Unloading support (So you can start and stop alsa)
Device Drivers > Sound > Alsa > Anything with OSS in it make it a module (except oss api or something which must be built in). Also enable RTC clock support if you know that you need this.
NOTE this only means the OSS stuff inside the alsa dir, DO NOT ENABLE OSS SUPPORT under DEVICE DRIVERS > SOUND

NOW recompile the kernel and copy it to /boot but BEFORE YOU REBOOT do

Hi, basically i have the same sort of problem as everyone else. i have a emu10K1 my .config files is:

Almost everything works for me... I have tried the via82xx module in both OSS and ALSA... I can hear sound, it works... but I can't change the volume... it's either OFF or ON (if i turn it all the way down, it turns off). This happens when using OSS or ALSA, either one. Any ideas?

I am able to hear everything perfectly, but for some odd reason every time I start /etc/init.d/alsasound I get the following

apberzerk · Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 4:50 pm Post subject:

Well, the simple way would just be to compile it as a module instead of putting it in the kernel (which I would recommend). I am not sure how to tell alsasound to not load it as a module.
