i few days back, i saw a thread about i810_audio. i am using it for my audio controller an intel ac'97. i had sound working well and good with redhat just by inserting this module. but on woody, i seem to be missing sound. so i did almost everything i saw flying around in that thread. i do remember getting xmms to play by starting up esd after a few hours of tweaking around, but i have no way of simulating that again!
let me get this straight: esd allows multiple applications access to the sound device. so as such, i must be able to get audio from a single app? i don't think i am getting that. secondly (i am really a novice here) whats the relation between esd and aumix?
another thing, aumix can at least control the beeps. but only root can do that! does it have something to the way i have my modules.conf?
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/audio #### sound card configuration -- intel i810 motherboard card alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sount-slot-0 /usr/bin/aumix -f /etc/aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /usr/bin/aumix -f /etc/aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : # end sound card config
as you can see, i am using aumix instead of aumix-minimal (which is what i used to use on redhat though i am not sure what the difference is). also i did not seem to find a default aumixrc, so i created one by looking at the manpage.
dmesg reads:
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5361 (Unknown) i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2
i am not sure what that thing about DAC's not present means.
any help, direction appreciated.
