 |
|
I know there are many threads about this problem.
I want to ask a simple question.
I built in the kernel the module for the soundcard and it works almost fine.
dmesg give this
| Code: |
i810_audio: Primary codec has ID 0
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.
i810_audio: Resetting connection 0
i810_audio: Connection 0 with codec id 0
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ADS112 (Unknown)
i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 6
|
How can I activate all the channels?
Moreover, I read that many people have used Alsa drivers. With the driver I am using right now, I need to use the microphone connector as line out. What about alsa drivers? Would I have the same problem?
Thank you |

I use alsa (nForce2 sound) and I use gnome-alsamixer where you just click "Duplicate Front" to have the rear speakers mirroring the front speakers.
Alsa is generally better than OSS, not to mention that it's the default sound subsystem in the next Linux kernel 2.6. |

I had downloaded the oss drivers
http://www.opensound.com/linux.html
and they were working fine.
I want to install the Alsa drivers, but before I get into all this trouble I want to be sure that they work with my soundcard. If in order to have sound I have to do the same things that I am doing now, then I better do not do it. |
