Hey there! I have a Sony Vaio PCG-F430 Laptop, and it comes with a Yamaha DS-1S (identified in /proc/pci as YMF-744B) but I'm having some problems making it work under Linux.
My system is a Slakware 8.0 recently installed, running with a 2.4.5 kernel (the same problems also happened with Debian 2.2rev4 running the 2.2.19 kernel). My version of Alsa is 0.5.12a (the lastest stable release) I can compile alsa-drivers with the (--with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=ymfpci) options without any problems, and the modules gets correctly installed in their right places. However, I can't hear any sound from it. After loading the modules with "modprobe snd-card-ymfpci", I can't set the volumes with alsamixer (it gives a "failed to open mixer #0/#0"). amixer says that the "Alsa Sound driver was not detected on this system) I have a filesystem at /proc/asound/ including a card1/ and 0/ dirs (that I believe are relative to my card) The output of /proc/asound/sndstat says: --- Card config: Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF744) at 0xfedf8000, irq 9 Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: System timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG --- Something tells me that this is wrong, but I don't know why (I have this with the Slak 8.0 stock kernel and with one compiled by myself, with sound support compiled as a module or included in the kernel) The sound card works flawlessly under Windows (and even in the Laptop inicialization) PNP is disabled in the BIOS too. I think that it is possible to have sound support on this laptop (at least the http://www.de-srv.com/linux/sonyF450.html howto told me that the Alsa drivers worked) Any help is deeply welcomed (and I can provide you with any logs you want) Thanks a lot!
