 Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 4:03 pm Post subject: Kernel 2.6.5, ALSA install fails |
 |
|
I'm following the instructions at www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml.
| Code: | bash-2.05b# grep audio /proc/pci
Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 3).
|
So I have an Intel 8x0 chip. I think I'm supposed to do this:
| Code: | | env ALSA_CARDS='snd-intel8x0' emerge \>=media-sound/alsa-driver |
But it fails with this error:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# env ALSA_CARDS='snd-intel8x0' emerge \>=media-sound/alsa-driver
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.3 to /dia-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.2

| You have a kernel 2.6. You do not need to use this tutorial. ALSA support is in the kernel. Just recompile your kernel with ALSA enabled. |

I have already compiled the kernel with the sound support as modules, and an lsmod shows that they're running. However, the sound still doesn't work.  |

Is the volume turned up?
You do not need alsa-drivers, but alsa-utils and alsa-lib are still needed, I think. You could also try to
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsasound start |
If this does not work, post more (dmesg, /var/log/messages, ...) |

Use alsamixer to unmute Master and PCM channels and then turn the sound up on them. (press "m" to mute/unmute)
