 Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2004 7:11 pm Post subject: Sound driver module missing |
 |
|
This has to have an obvious solution.
I am new to Gentoo and compiled Kernel 2.6.5 via genkernel. I followed the instructions to get ALSA working from the appropriate Gentoo doc, but, ALAS! the driver for my soundcard (snd-es1938) is missing. I mean, I have no file snd-es1938.ko. How did this happen?
How can I resolve it? |

I never bothered with genkernel, but I assume you could modify the kernel config just before starting the build. Do this: | Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |
Navigate to Device drivers -> Sound -> Sound card support, press M to build it as a module, navigate to Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, press M (also press M on RTC Timer support if it's there, and press Y on OSS API emulation), navigate to PCI devices and press M on ESS ES1938/1946/1969 (Solo-1) (NEW). Then exit all the way, confirm saving of the new configuration, and proceed to build the kernel and the modules.
