Sorry to post another problem, but this is from my other machine... [ Note: I never got this working with the OSS modules either ]
I have compiled kernel 2.5.5 and enabled ALSA support for my onboard VIA, on a separate machine. All the modules except rtctimer, which I then disabled and recompiled without a problem. I do modprobe snd-via686, adjust the volumes in alsamixer. Then when I try and play using alsaplayer I get: > AlsaPlayer 0.99.36 > (C) 1999-2001 Andy Lo A Foe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others. > Output plugin: ALSA output v1.9.0beta7 > Unavailable hw params: > ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED > FORMAT: S16_LE > SUBFORMAT: STD > SAMPLE_BITS: 16 > FRAME_BITS: [16 32] > CHANNELS: [1 2] > RATE: 48000 > PERIOD_TIME: (166 682667) > PERIOD_SIZE: [8 32768] > PERIOD_BYTES: [32 131072] > PERIODS: [1 32] > BUFFER_TIME: (166 682667) > BUFFER_SIZE: [8 32768] > BUFFER_BYTES: [32 65536] > TICK_TIME: 10000 > ERROR: failed to set fragment size/count. Exiting... If I compile all the debug options in, I get the following spooled down the screen: ALSA via686.c:245: codec_valid: codec 0 is not valid [0xfc0000] ALSA via686.c:245: codec_valid: codec 0 is not valid [0xfe0000] ... ALSA via686.c:245: codec_valid: codec 0 is not valid [0xa60000] over 100 times. I don't know what this means really, but it looks bad :o) Any ideas what could be wrong? Here's some outputs that might be useful: /proc/asound/version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0beta11 (Tue Feb 19 08:14:59 2002 UTC).
