 Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:54 pm Post subject: ALSA not working for me with onboard soundcard |
 |
|
hi,
using gentoo 2005
ms-6380e motherboard (onboard ac97 sound, supposedly via through realtek)
i have ALSA compiled into my kernel (gentoo-sources) and my sound is not working at all, i have my alsa config file setup to deal with snd-via82xx (and have done the modules update) but on boot it says cannot load driver. i have looked on various sites and tutorials and everything seems to check out. does anyone have any experience getting onboard sound to work with this motherboard? i used mandrake before on the same machine (which was like a windows installation) and the sound just worked after the install so a lot of this is new to me.
i have also tried grabbing the drivers from the realtek page and installing them, when i try to do so it tells me that ALSA is already installed properly.
thanks for looking. |

AwakenedStream,
Please post the following:-
Output of , so we can determine you sound hardware,
The content of | Code: | | /etc/modules.d/alsa |
so we can check your setup
The output of | Code: | | modules -l -t sound |
so we can see which sound modulesyou have built just now.
The latter won't help if you made ALSA built into the kernel.
