 |
|
What is the correct driver for the onboard sound on the IC7? I can't find any specific info in the manuals or on Abit's site about what sound chip this is. I don't care if I get 6 channels or any of the other bells and whistles, I just want basic sound.
Thanks in advance. |

If you want to use ALSA sound driver, look up the make and model of sound chipset that your mobo has then look at the ALSA soundcard matrix:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
I had the same problem on my mobo (Shuttle nforce2), nothing in the manual, but look on the box it came in. Sounds stupid but thats where I found mine.
if nothing listed, try (from Gentoo docs):
| Code: | | # grep audio /proc/pci |
It should be a standard chipset. Then follow ALSA docs and use the appropriate driver module that you got from the driver matrix. Gentoo has a very useful doc on ALSA too:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
You should not only have basic sound, but nice 6 channel too. Hope that helps

| Thanks for the help, but it's no good. All I know is that it's an intel sound chip, but no driver I have tried works. I think I'm just going to drop an old SBlive in. |

My sound works perfectly I run 2005.1 gentoo with the 2.6.12-r10 kernel.
u need to add som stuff to the kernel.
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
(This needs to be enabled)
<M> Sound card support
(Make sure OSS is disabled)
Open Sound System --->
< > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)
(Move one step back and enter ALSA)
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
<M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
(Select this if you want MIDI sequencing and routing)
<M> Sequencer support
(Old style /dev/mixer* and /dev/dsp* support. Recommended.)
<M> OSS Mixer API
<M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
(For ISA Sound cards)
ISA devices --->
(IF you had the Gravis, you would select this option)
<M> Gravis UltraSound Extreme
(Move one level back and into PCI devices. Most sound cards today are
PCI devices)
PCI devices --->
(We now select the emu10k1 driver for our card)
<M> Emu10k1 (SB Live!, Audigy, E-mu APS)
(Or an Intel card would be)
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller
(Or if you have a VIA Card)
<M> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller

When u are finnished with this u just copy your kernel, .config and System.map to the /boot/ and then reboot
Then i installed alsa-utils
| Code: | | emerge -n alsa-utils |
After that I made an modules-update
Then i started alsa and tried the sound
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsasound start |
I didn't got any sound here but i just entered the alsamixer to enable the pcm channel
Then i tried it again and it worked nice!
After that i just added it to rc
| Code: | | rc-update add alsasound boot |
over and out :> |
