PB> days of trying i feel i am stuck. help needed.

PB> I have P4 system with motherboard (P4S5A) from ECS. 
PB> This board has on-board sound. And all i can read 
PB> about the board is that it is AC97 complient codec. 

PB>  When i execute 
PB>     lspcidrake -v | egrep -i '(audio|sound)' 
PB>  i get 
PB>     snd-card-intel8x0: Silicon Integrated Systems 
PB>        [SiS]|SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator 
PB>        [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] 
PB>              (vendor:1039 device:7012) 

PB>  When i do 
PB>    amixer set -c 1 Master 70 unmute 
PB>  i get 
PB>    The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this 
PB> system. 

PB>  Now i execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa restart 
PB> i see 
PB> Doing alsactl to store mixer settings... [ OK ] 
PB> Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 0.5.12a): [
PB> OK ] 
PB> Starting ALSA version 0.5.12a: (intel8x0) [ OK ] 

PB>  Try unmuting again, still no sound. 

PB>  modprobe snd-card-intel8x0 

PB> /lib/modules/2.4.18-4mdk/alsa/snd-card-intel8x0.o.gz: 
PB> init_module: No such device 
PB> Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect 
PB> module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ 
PB> parameters 
PB> modprobe: insmod 
PB> /lib/modules/2.4.18-4mdk/alsa/snd-card-intel8x0.o.gz 
PB> failed 
PB> modprobe: insmod snd-card-intel8x0 failed 

 
PB> I saw the following entry in the INSTALL file that
PB> came with the alsa driver. 

PB>  Module snd-intel8x0.o 
PB> --------------------- 

PB>  Module for AC'97 motherboards from Intel. 
PB> * Intel i810/810E, i815, i820, i830, i840, MX440 
PB> * SiS 7012 (SiS 735) 
PB> * NVidia NForce 

PB>  snd_ac97_clock - AC'97 codec clock base (0 = 
PB> auto-detect) 

PB>  Module supports autoprobe and multiple bus-master 
PB> chips (max 8). 
PB> Note: the latest driver supports auto-detection of 
PB> chip clock. 
PB> if you still encounter too fast playback, specify 
PB> the clock 
PB> explicitly via the module option 
PB> "snd_ac97_clock=41194". 

PB> Could some one please help. 

PB> I am using the DL 8.2 RC1 version of MLL 

PB> Pavan 



 Just a suggestion, remove all the sound entries in /etc/modules.conf
 and add the following

 alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio

 -OR-

 do a clean up on sound modules in the memory, ( use lsmod and rmmod )
 and try

 modprobe i810_audio

 Alsa is nothing more than a headache for me since 8.1, at least for
 this type of cards.
