OK. This is an old thread. I believe that a newer version of the driver has been released. What is the word. How well does this thing work for you.
I managed to get sound from a lot of apps, but some of them (including alsa) just don't like the switch back to OSS, or maybe they just don't like the soundcard drivers... I dunno. I'm reinstalling kdemultimedia with -alsa in the use flags.
Another important point is that hardware mixing doesn't seem to work. I had heard that it did, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I have an Nforce2 Mobo with Soundstorm (DFI Lanparty) and I can't seem to build the nforce-audio drivers
i've tried both using emerge nforce-audio and running the drivers from the nvidia site and they both fail to compile..
I have the 2.6.10 kernel and it has support for OSS modules in its config I have NFI why it's not working. any help would be appreciated. I guess i can post the output of the attempted install

| Hi, I had exactly the same problem (french forum) and seems that solution (Iwould test this evening) consist in using 1.0.0292 using PORTDIR_OVERLAY (see point 6 of this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewforum.php?f=12) |

Hi. I went to this site and downloaded the linux_nforce_1.0-0292 file and followed these instructions:
| Quote: | In linux you can simply type in:
sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run -x
Next open:
./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1/nvsound/main/Makefile.kbuild (not makefile!)
goto line 54 comment the ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
and on line 56 the endif so you get:
#ifeq ($(REMAP_PAGE_RANGE),5)
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DREMAP_NEW
#endif
Next go to ./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1 directory and execute:
nforce-installer
(remember to do NOT install network card!, this patch only fixes audio!)
depmod -a
modprobe nvsound
|
I have Alsa disabled and OSS enabled in my kernel. lsmod shows that both soundcore and nvsound are loaded.
This is a new install. what else am i supposed to do?

| Sometimes when I boot I don't get any sound using the nvsound-1.0292 driver, the only workaround I found was to make sure that you run coldplug on boot. For some reason running coldplug means that everything works fine (apart fro mthe other known bugs in the driver.) |

I wonder if anyone is having problems running multiple audio programs at once with the nvidia driver? I'm currently using alsa with 2.6.10-nitro2 and an nforce2 AC'97 chip, and I can only get audio in one program at a time.
Thanks |

marvin, that's a common problem with nforce boards. The open source ALSA driver doesn't do any hardware mixing so you only get sound from one app at a time. There are two ways of fixing this:
1) Use dmix (or another software mixer such as Arts or Esd) to mix your sounds. Search the forums for advice on how to do this.
2) Use the binary nvsound driver. The primary advantage of nvsound is that it takes advantage of the nforce hardware mixing capabilities, so you autmatically get multiple sound simultaneously. The driver currently in portage (emerge nforce-audio) is horribly buggy, there is an ebuild for the newer version (nforce-audio-1.0.0292) in bugzilla which is much better, but still not perfect. |

Funny problem.
I have the module loaded.
OSS works great in xmms, xine and so on. with hardwaremix
But cant get arts to play

What I don't understand is how editing code in ./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1/nvnet/nvenet.c
will effect sound? I read about the drivers on another thread that said they were really buggy and they locked up the system although that was a while ago. So if I do this I would need to disable ALSA but enable OSS or disable OSS as well as ALSA?
EDIT: I realized he was explaining how to fix something with NVNET in the Fourth post. The post that explained how to patch and fix NVSOUND was right above. I ended up doing what they said with the NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run and not using emerge or portage at all. It works here. I didn't recompile my kernel or anything so I imagine I can unload nvsound module and load up snd-intel8x0 and use ALSA again if I wanted. We'll see how these perform. I read in some thread that mplayer wouldn't play video with this driver and I experienced the same problem. Another thing I read that I experienced is that in GAIM sounds are sped up. I only use GAIM sounds for the initial message sent anyway but they are indeed sped up maybe 2 times. I have to say this is the first time I've ever had hardware mixing in linux with the onboard Soundstorm on this Asus A7N8X Deluxe board and it is awesome to finally have it. I do think they should go ahead and make it for ALSA since most everyone in Linux community has already switched to that anyway.
EDIT: Stuff that doesn't work right:
mplayer won't play video with OSS and this driver, the audio plays but the video doesn't.
Gaim sounds are sped up by 2 times or so
flash in Firefox plays but then freezes and firefox-bin must be killed.

These are all known bugs which have apparently been fixed in the beta releases of the next version of the driver. I'm also hoping that they make the new version work on 2.6.11 kernels as well as the current version will not load.
You can work around the mplayer problem by specifying that you use the sdl audio output intead of OSS or ALSA (mplayer must be compiled with sdl support) and you can get GAIM sounds to play correectly by emerging rawplay and setting the sound method command to "rawplay -s 11025 -J 20 %s".
I don't know of any way of fixing the Flash bug however. |

Thanks chunderbunny. I did know these were known problems I was just reporting that I also have the same problem, can reproduce them etc. The SDL works fine in mplayer thanks for that bit of info, as for GAIM I really don't care that it sounds too fast since I only hear it on initial messages anyway. I've had nvsound lock up my computer once so far. This was while using nvmixer and changing from 2 speakers to 5.1. I haven't tried the digital out yet but can someone tell me if it works? I wonder if it would work with a DVD too so you could have dolby digital?
