PostPosted: Sat May 03, 2008 7:10 pm    Post subject: alsa questions Reply with quote

Hi there,
I compiled my kernel with using alsa-driver in mind(as opposed to in kernel modules).I set my system up this way because alsa-driver had always worked with me in the past.Anyway , after i unmasked alsa-driver, alsa-driver built successfully and alsaconf went fine.Also alsamixer appeared to work.The problem came when i tried to play a dvd using mplayer.I have not tested my alsa in any other way apart from mplayer but i'm sure it's a problem with alsa not mplayer.Is there a simple way that i could test alsa?.Also is there anything i can do short of recompiling my kernel.Because every time i recompile my kernel for gentoo i often get problems with X.Thankx in advance

i'm not quite sure of what you are asking, but i will just answer as i understand you
Code:

emerge alsa-utils
aplay awave.wav

aplay is from alsa-utils

for you X stability vs kernel compile, well i don't really get it, as kernel recompile only few things if nothing change from the previous config file, so it will just continue where it stops.
but to prevent X crashing stopping your kernel compile under a term, just ctrl+alt+F1-6 and do your compile there, you can also use "screen" to build your kernel without it stop, or simply issue "make &"

Hi there,
I have a problem with the alsa-driver package.The package built fine but does not work.Please could anyone tell me how to go about changing to the in kernel method.For example is it just a matter of doing $emerge -C alsa-driver?.Or is there more steps to take before recompiling my kernel?.Thankx in advance

here's the alsa guide.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

it has instructions for both methods. it's pretty clear and easy to follow.

for the kernel method you don't use alsa-driver at all, but you need to build your soundchip into the kernel and just enable the alsa (and some oss compatibility) modules that you want to be built. have alsasound load those modules for you (don't put them in autoload.d).

Hi there,
I have gentoo on my laptop.I tried to get the sound working using the alsa-driver package.So now i have alsa-driver installed but the sound still doesn't work.Ah and yes alsaconf went fine.What do i have to do to try the in-kernel method for alsa.Do i just have to do:
[code]
$emerge -C alsa-driver
[/code]
Or is there more that i have to do before proceeding to try the in-kernel method?
methodtwo is online now

Here is the output from me trying to play a wav file:
[code]
novaexpress matt # aplay /home/matt/Desktop/bugsbunny1.wav
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'

ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

[/code]
I don't know if this is a bug with alsa or whether it's just with aplay.Alsaconf went fine though...i'm confused.Any suggestions or help would be great.Thankx in advance

In general, use your favorite kernel configuration program, select the audio chip your computer has, and set it as module. Unmerge all your alsa packages. Compile the kernel and use make modules_install to install the new modules. Then follow the [url-http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml]Gentoo ALSA guide[/url]. It works every time.

Blessed be!

i would have done that before
Code:
cd /usr/src/linux
cp .config /usr/src
make mrproper
mv ../.config .

Hi there.I had the alsa-driver package installed and alsaconf was working fine but i still had no sound.So i did:
[code]
rm -fr /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/alsa-driver
[/code]
Then i re-compiled my kernel to use the in-kernel method of alsa.The problem now is that when i start alsa i get these errors:
[code]
FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo-r6/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [ !! ]
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ]
* ALSA failed to load.
[/code]
When i check dmesg it just has a long list for my sound driver of unknown symbol and failed to load!.What should i do?.Thankx in advance

methodtwo,

Some kernel options you need are set off.

Post a sample of the missing symbols from dmesg ad we can tell you which options you have missing.
Its best to build ALSA as modules, not built into the kernel as many chip sets require that you pass module parameters at module load time.
You can do this with built in ALSA but determining the correct paramaters then requires a reboot for each test.

methodtwo,

Many of those symbols come from the top level sound option. Its easier to show you how to set up your kernel.
Code:
     Sound  --->

  │ │        Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->                      │ │ 
  │ │        Open Sound System  --->

Go into Open Sound System and ensure it is set to off.
Code:
        Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
  │ │    <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture                            │ │

Its essential the Verbose and debug options are off.

Hi there,
I originally had the alsa-driver package installed but the sound didn't work.I then un-installed alsa-driver and rebuilt the kernel following the gentoo alsa guide.Now when i start alsa it does atsrt but i get this error message:
[code]Loading driver...
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...
WARNING: Error inserting soundcore (/lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo-r6/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko): Invalid module format [ ok ]

WARNING: Error inserting soundcore (/lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo-r6/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko): Invalid module format [ ok ]

[/code]
Will re-compiling my kernel , but instead of building sound card support as a module build it in the kernel, help?

No. Alsa likes it's drivers in module form. If you compile it into the kernel alsa-utils doesn't like it, and complains.

My suggestion is that you move your .config file out of the kernel source code directory in question, type in 'make mrproper' without the apostrophes. Once that's done, copy the .config back into the source directory. Type 'make' to generate the kernel and it's modules. Finally type 'make modules_install'. That should refresh your modules. If that works, great. If not, we may have to do something just a bit more complicated. Try this out first.

Blessed be!
Pappy

I just compiled the soundcore module into the kernel and had the rest of the drivers for my hard-ware as modules and my alsa now works.Sorry for being so brief but i do't know what else to say
