Hi guys, thanks to help from Fedor Pikus and Boris Goldowsky, I was able to build ALSA successfully and it works. I currently am stymied by 2 other small issues though. I have searched the documentation on the www.alsa-project.org site, but havent come up with a solution. My ALSA modules arent loading automatically. I have attached my modules.conf to the bottom. I cut and pasted the examples from the section on the snd-via82xx driver as instructed, but its not loading automatically. One thing I dont understand is the last 2 lines in my example. I couldnt find any mention of them on the documentation, are they for OSS and not ALSA? Or are they just wrong for ALSA? Also, does their placement matter? What do they do? Also, after I reboot and modprobe snd-via82xx I get sound, but first I have to go into the "volume control" applet in Gnome and adjust some of the volumes up, they all default to 0. Anyway to have the sound system remember your settings across reboots, or at least default to a certain value that is audible?
I know thats a lot of questions, thanks a ton for your help so far. #<modules.conf follows:> alias eth0 3c59x alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias char-major-195 nvidia # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss #BTTV Line alias char-major-81 bttv card=64 type=2 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
