i know i'm and idiot, but i'm just one of those people that can't leave well enough alone..........while trying to fix another non sound related prob i managed to somehow screw up my sound.........i get a bunch of modprobe errors on boot, however i compiled sound driver INTO the kernel NOT as modules.......i log into the system and do a dmesg and i can see where it finds the sound card fine but can't make it work........here are the relevant lines from dmesg:
Code:
MIDI Loopback device driver
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 11:45:31 Oct 10 2002
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:02.7
i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xd800 and 0xdc00, IRQ 11
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 2 channels.
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4326 (Unknown)
i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available.
i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels=2
and
Code:
Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy
Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy
Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy
Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy

ok, here's what i have done so far.......
i unmerged alsa and alsa-utils
ran rc-update del alsasound boot
and recompiled kernel
boot fine no prob's
emerged alsa
changed /etc/modules.d/alsa to include correct sound
rc-update add alsasound boot
reboot and get same errors again with same dmesg output as above
i'm completely lost and really need some input from anybody

thanks in advance

I could be wrong, but I don't think you are supposed to compile sound support in the kernel and then still try and use alsa.

In my setup all I have is "Sound Support" set as a module in the kernel but I did not choose any of their sound drivers. I then loaded alsa the same way you did, and edited /etc/modules.d/alsa to point to my correct sound driver. (snd-via8233 in my case)

thanks for the reply but when i was using gentoo 1.2 all was well with the way i had it set up. After installing 1.4 all was fine then i made some changes and now nothing.......i'm still fairly new with linux though and you could be right.......maybe i was just lucky before.......will try your suggestion later tonight if nobody else can offer any ideas........willing to try anything at this point :roll:

same deal no changes........i've even rebuilt my entire system and same thing........but if i comment out the alsa lines and uncomment the oss lines in /etc/modules.d/alsa then i get the startup sound for kde even though if i type amixer at prompt i get no device msg and mixer is listed in /dev.......sound works in windows the problem seems to have isolated itself to alsa and/or the snd-intel8x0 drivers........by the way if i change snd-intel8x0 to snd-card-intel8x0 i no longer get the modprobe errors on bootup but still no mixer and no sound other than kde startup and shutdown sounds............i'm confused
anybody?????
