 |
|
hello
i'm trying to install alsa to my system but there is a problem i don't know how to solve:
icompiled alsa support into my kernel with following options:
| Code: | <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*> Sequencer support
< > Sequencer dummy client
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS Sequencer API
[ ] Verbose printk
[ ] Debug
Generic devices --->
ISA devices --->
<*> Sound Blaster 16 (PnP)
PCI devices --->
USB devices --->
Generic, PCI, USB -->none |
then i emerged alsa-utils
then:
| Code: | | rc-update add alsasound default |
then:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsasound start |
and got this error:
| Code: | * Loading ALSA modules...
* Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers.
* Unable to find any ALSA drivers. Have you compiled alsa-drivers correctly?
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels...
* No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card! [ ok ] |
when i do dmsg i get:
| Code: | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC).
ALSA device list:
No soundcards found. |
what should i do to get alsa running?
thanks for your help

| Did you compile isapnp into the kernel? Even then, many cards won't detect correctly. I would recommend building "Sound Blaster 16 (PnP)" as a module so you can pass IRQ and IO port addresses as parameters. |

| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Plug and Play support --->
[*] ISA Plug and Play support
|
As for modularizing the other ALSA components, it's really a matter of personal preference. I tend to prefer modules, as it makes changing many kernel options possible without having to reboot for it to take effect. |
