 |
|
I'm about to trash my windows partition and go solo gentoo on my home PC
A7N8X-E Deluxe mainboard with Nforce2 and Soundstorm audio... I'm told I'm going to have an impossible time getting this working.
I grazed through the thread at the top about hardware mixing, but I'm not sure if that applies to me
The only thing I really need it to do is play sound (xmms mp3's / dvd's / avi/mpg clips) and play sound in halflife 2 and world of warcraft. Is this going to be a problem? It'll be a fresh install so it's gonna be the newest gentoo-dev-sources kernel.
I'm a lazy idiot so i'll probably use genkernel, if that makes a difference.

First, I don't think WoW and HL2 will work statisfactory in Linux.
About your sound problem:
I have a NF7-S 2.0, with soundstorm. I use the intel8x0 kernel audio driver with the dmix plugin for ALSA, and my sound is fine.
Here's my asound.conf for dmix.
| Code: | boris@stargazer boris $ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
