 |
|
Hello.
I've got problem with my built-in soundcard. I have sound, soundcore and ac97_codec modules loaded by there is no /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer.
It is what I've got (a of course links do these files in main /dev/ because I'm using devfs as it is recommended in Installtion Handbook):
+++
vardo@vlaptop dev $ ls -al sound
razem 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 sty 1 1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 sty 1 1970 ..
crw------- 1 vardo audio 14, 4 sty 1 1970 audio
crw------- 1 vardo audio 14, 5 sty 1 1970 dspW
crw------- 1 vardo audio 14, 1 sty 1 1970 sequencer
crw------- 1 vardo audio 14, 8 sty 1 1970 sequencer2
+++
Have I missed something? Maybe something in kernel?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

What card are you using? Have you loaded the proper module for it? If you're unsure, take a peek at the output of

You may like to check you have built the OSS modules and load them as well.
| Code: | <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<M> Sequencer support
<M> OSS Mixer API
<M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS Sequencer API |
| Code: | Cobra root # find /lib/modules/ -iname "*oss*.ko"
/lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-mixer-oss.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-pcm-oss.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo/kernel/sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko |
| Code: | | modpropbe snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss |

But aren't these alsa modules? As far as I know alsa is optional and OSS should work "standalone".

lspci does not work, but "cat /proc/pci" does. I've something like this:
+++
Bus 0, device 2, function 7:
Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controll er (rev 160).
IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=128. Min Gnt=52.Max Lat=11.
I/O at 0xe200 [0xe2ff].
I/O at 0xe300 [0xe37f].
+++
So I've got a sis built-in sound card, but I have a problem with choosing, the right driver. Do I have to check any potencial? Any suggestions?

I have a desktop but my ouput of 'cat /proc/pci' (to do lspci u need to be root) is similar. Try doing 'modprobe snd-intel8x0'. The best way to see what hardware u have is to look in the manual or use knoppix to see what u have.

I don't have this module compiled... maybe I'll try it later.

I'll probably do this.
