 Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2004 11:57 am Post subject: [SOLVED]Sound driver not working (Cirrus Logic) |
 |
|
I finally got my mouse working perfectly, with the scroll etc. Then i decided it was time to install the sound card drivers. lspci shows :
| Code: | | Multimedia audio controller : Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01) |
so i went into menuconfig and added the following
| Code: |
Device Drivers ------>
Sound --------->
<*> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Architecture ----->
PCI devices ---->
<*>Cirrus Logic (Sound Fusion) CS4280/CS461x/CS462x/CS463x
|
When i copied the image and rebooted and started KDE, the error about the sound card driver not being detected didnt appear but my mouse just wont move!
I even tried
| Code: | | <M>Cirrus Logic (Sound Fusion) |
but it didnt work
I removed it altogether, and still no luck! If it means anything, the mouse protocol is ImPS/2
I also noticed, one this problem occured, on going back to the menuconfig that this line was also enabled in the PCI devices section (under sound)
| Code: | <*> Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455;NForce Audio;AMD768/8111[quote]
i excluded this but still no change. mouse was still not working[/quote] |
EDIT
i got the mouse working, was just a matter of modprobing it
*whacks himself in the head*
but now that the right driver is installed in the kernel (not as a module), it still doesnt work. i dont get any device/driver error on starting up KDE, but i cant hear anything when playing audio cds etc. help! how do i know if its all setup right??

| Code: | snd_seq_midi 8736 0
snd_cs46xx 92552 1
snd_rawmidi 25956 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_cs46xx
snd_ac97_codec 70020 1 snd_cs46xx
gameport 4672 1 snd_cs46xx
snd_seq_oss 35008 0
snd_seq_midi_event 8128 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 54736 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 8264 4 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss 56296 0
snd_pcm 100296 2 snd_cs46xx,snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc 11720 2 snd_cs46xx,snd_pcm
snd_timer 26372 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss 20352 2 snd_pcm_oss
snd 55588 12 snd_seq_midi,snd_cs46xx,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss

does the line:
| Code: | | alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx |
exist in /etc/modules.d/alsa (and other settings)?
are the pcm and master volume unmuted? |

i havent loaded the driver as a module, i put it directly into the kernel. should i load it as a module?
also, i dont have the /etc/modules.d/alsa file.

Hmm, it doesn't matter if they are modules or in the kernel. You just have to make sure all the appropriate options are ticked.
The gentoo alsa guide is very good: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml and it covers how to setup your card.
As for the missing file, it should be there. If you have installed alsa-utils, it is installed as part of that package. |
