 Posted: Sat Sep 04, 2004 1:19 pm Post subject: initial ALSA Install |
 |
|
hello,
steps i have taken so far:
/etc/make.conf - added ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0
emerge alsa-driver
emerge alsa-utils
rc-update add alsasound boot
/etc/init.d/alsasound start
after running last command i get output of:
Loading ALSA drivers...
could not detect custom alsa settings. loading all detected alsa drivers.
running card-dependant scripts
error: failed to load necessary drivers
restoring mixer levels
no mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card [ok[
output of: lspci
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
make.conf file:
| Code: | # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="gnome gtk dvd alsa cdr java -kde -qt"
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"

i am using a dell inspiron 510m, and far as i know that is the driver i need.
do i need to check for other things that might need to be installed?
the only step i have not taken so far is:
amixer
why, because in the gentoo ALSA guide it is the next step, but i dont know if its good to continue when im getting all these errors, please help

hi,
that's interesting - because, as you can see here (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=209738) i seem to have the same problem on my asus-laptop... your error messages seem very familiar...
could you check the output of dmesg and see if you also get the "no soundcard detected" error?
greetings, david |

i did the dmesg thing, and i dont have same message as you.
i have:
Transparent Bridge - intel corp, 82801BAM/CAM PCI Bridge
PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 08 [IRQ]
PCI: Using IRQ router PIIX/ICH [8086/24cc] at 00:1f.0
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00.1f.1

YES YES YESSSSS, fixed it all by myself. CHUFFED.
right, for all those suffering same fate. following ALSA guide step 3. it says "IF" you use a modular kernel i.e genkernel (which i dont) then you have to do blah blah blah (read guiide).
so i thought, what the hell, lets give it a go.
i added entry:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
into the /etc/modules.d/alsa file.
then ran modules-update
then init.d/alsasound stop
then init.d/alsasound start
i got output of:
loading alsa drivers
using alsa oss emulation
loading: snd-seq-oss
loading: snd-pcm-oss
running card-dependant scripts
restoring mixer levels
good luck all, dont give up |
