 |
|
i have a p2 laptop with es18xx audiodrive sound and am have trouble getting the alsa driver working.
I followed the gentoo alsa doc, and I have soundcore compiled as a module and insmoded, but when I start alsa, i get this:
| Code: |
#/etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Initializing ALSA...
* Starting sound driver: snd-es18xx /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/ida/snd-es18xx.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may also find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o fialed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o: insmod snd-es18xx failed [ ok ]
|
ISA? is this "viewed" as an ISA device even though its apparently a integrated chip? its no where to be found in /proc/bus/isa. As far as the i/o address and irq (and dma), I have written those down from what they are in the bios for the integrated audio device, but the gentoo alsa documentation doesn't cover setting them during the alsa setup anywhere to my knowledge.
Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong here? |

the sound card should appears here... I think it's the reason it try to load ISA stuff.
are you sure the sound card is enabled in bios ?
which laptop is it ?

| screw it, i found out that this chip will work as a 100% sb compatible card under the sb oss kernel driver. I want to join the "wave of the future" and use alsa, but I got tired of screwing with it. Thanks for the help anyway! |
