 Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2007 7:49 pm Post subject: Alsa Configuration Problems [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I am using this guide for my sound card configuration http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
System Info
kernel: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 -AMD64 build
i did NOT use genkernel
My sound card is: ( lspci )
06:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
I am using the follow driver: emu10k1
I selected all the options in "menuconfig" to match what was in the guide. I recompiled the new kernel and installed it and ran the following command per the guides instructions:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# grep SOUND .config
(1. is true)
CONFIG_SOUND=y
2. is true)
CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set
well this is what i get:
CONFIG_SOUND=m
# CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set
# grep SND .config
(and 3. is true)
CONFIG_SND is not set
my CONFIG_SND is = M
So when i try to run alsaconf it can't find my sound card. What are some other things that i need to be checking?

sounds like you configured your soundcard with a module.
specify your sound card module "emu10k1" in the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 config file.
reboot your system, run alsaconf again, see if it detects it then.
maybe that might help.

Ignore alsaconf. alsamixer is what matters.
I have the same lspci result. Put in /etc/modules.d/alsa
| Code: | # See http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?module=emu10k1
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run "update-modules" (to recreate /etc/modules.conf).
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 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.
options snd cards_limit=1 |
Then update-modules and restart alsa. |

Ok using Paul's instructions, i edited the alsa file and ran update modules.
/etc/modules.d/alsa file:
| Code: |
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## 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-emu10k1
## OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 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.
options snd cards_limit=1
|
alsasound start:
| Code: |
catpc44 init.d # ./alsasound start
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...
FATAL: Module snd_emu10k1 not found. [ !! ]
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ]
* ALSA failed to load. [ !! ]
|
I am assuming that it cannot find the driver (lol). I am pretty sure the drivers are there. Where do i need to look to make sure i have the drivers? Thanks again for everyone's help. Do you have to emerge alsa-drivers?
Oh when i emerged alsa-driver i get this error:
| Code: |
* ALSA is already compiled into the kernel.
* Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
* Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging

All the drivers that i selected in menuconfig are set as modules so i am not sure what it is referring too. |

To use the alsa driver package, you need to have alsa OFF in your kernel config, but the sound subsystem has to be ON.
Assuming that you don't want to use that:
try running alsa-conf before changing your /etc/modules.d/alsa if you haven't done so already.

You should have:
| Code: | $ grep SND /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_SND is not set
$ grep SOUND /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_SOUND=m
# CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set |
Look what the ebuild is checking:
| Code: | $ grep CONFIG_CHECK /usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc3.ebuild
local CONFIG_CHECK="!SND SOUND ${CHECK_PNP} ${CHECK_ISA} ${CHECK_FW} ${CHECK_PARPORT}" |

Well, instead of using the in-kernel alsa driver. I disable ALSA in the kernel and emerged alsa-driver. Now it works fine.
Thanks for your help!! |
