I've got a laptop with a NeoMagic 256 soundcard built in. It pretty much sucks, but it's what I have.
Kernel is 2.4.14-pe (Robert Love's preemptive patches). Seems to run fine otherwise. Kernel has modules enabled, sound support enabled but all other sound options disabled. I haven't tried alsa on this machine before... I've just downloaded and installed ALSA CVS. I built it in the usual way... $ cd alsa-driver $ ./cvscompile (configure fails because I have 2.4 linux source in a funny place) $ ./configure (with various options to find kernel... works fine) $ sudo make install $ cd ../alsa-lib (repeat above steps) $ cd ../alsa-utils (repeat above steps) That seems to work OK. I then put alsasound in /etc/init.d and it runs on startup ... but the system seems to have about a 50% possibility of hanging as soon as it tries to load the sound driver. Anybody else seen this? I also sometimes get system hang if the modules load properly and I attempt to unload them. If I don't get a hang, the system runs fine but I can't get any sound... alsaplay doesn't do anything. /proc/asound looks OK.
