 Posted: Mon Apr 18, 2005 6:53 pm Post subject: ALSA not working with my SBLive after a fresh install |
 |
|
| Hey, I have a working installation of gnome and kde on my new gentoo installation, it can't identify my sound hardware for some reason. I would assume it would identified my hardware but it can't seem to find the /dev files for my sound card? I enabled ALSA when I made my kernel and I even specified the EMU10K for my SBLive, how do I enable my sound blaster live in my gui's? The Kernel has ALSA, I included alsa in the USE flag, I have hte ALSA_CARD set right. I re-emerged everything with --newuse after making those changes, and I still have no GUI sound. I can emerge alsa-utils, so I know something on the alsa level works, just not with gnome or kde? |

| All that looks normal to me; that is my processor of course, ALSA identifies itself, lspci sees the sound card, my .config has EMU10K1 set as it should be. |

I've got identical cfg's, kernel gentoo-r6, lspci shows my card too, Alsa identifies itself too and my card.
have you ever managed to run this card under linux ? You can also try kernel driver 10k1X, maybe this card is dell's oem (i had those one in my life, and there were many problems too).

| I used to run Fedora Core2 on this machine, sound was great. This is my media server. I got it(the sound card) at Best Buy, but it may be an OEM, I'll try the X module and see if it fairs better. I suspect I may not be able to get this going, I have tried so many different things and the documentation reallly just doesn't work in this case. |

I would recommend to compile ALSA and emu10k1 as modules.
| Code: | CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m
CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_EMU10K1=m |
recompile, reboot, and emerge alsa-utils. You can set extra options with ALSA_UTILS=""as10k1 ac3dec" for example in /etc/make.conf or as environnement flag
| Code: | | ALSA_UTILS=""as10k1 ac3dec" emerge alsa-utils |
after that edit /etc/modules.d/alsa as documented in gentoo's ALSA guide
| Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.4 2004/11/16 01:31:22 eradicator Exp $
# ALSA portion
# OSS/Free portion
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- |
and to make it start at boot time
| Code: | /etc/init.d/alsasound start
rc-update add alsasound default |
remember to unmute with alsamixer
hope it helps... |
