Hola,
Os voy a dejar que leais un log que he ido haciendo para poder convertirlo
a HOWTO si alg�n dia hago funcionar la dichosa tarjeta. Aqu� os comento todo
lo que he ido haciendo, pero sigo teniendo un mensaje de error, yo creo que
debe ser por culpa del /etc/modules.conf (ver mas abajo), pero no s� como
debo configurarlo.... si algui�n tiene alguna experiencia con ALSA, a ver si
me ayuda, por cierto, estoy con woody | 2.4.18-k7 | via686a....
Un saludo !
P.D.- Perdonad... pero est� escrito en ingl�s, aunque es sencillo de seguir.
-----------------------------
Message error:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
------------------------------
I did:
#apt-get install alsa-source
debconf ask some questions about my card (in my case via686)
i didn't enable debugging neither isa-pnp support (in my case is not an isa
card)
i run:
#uname -r to know what my kernel is.
#apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7
#apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7
If you need headers....
#apt-get install alsa-source
Now unpack the source code:
#cd /usr/src
#tar xvzf alsa-driver.tar.gz
Next, compile the modules and build the Debian package of them:
#cd /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/
#./debian/rules KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7 KVERS=2.4.18-k7
KDREV=2.4.18-5 binary-modules
-- I explain this line:
KSRC=the place where headers are.
KVERS=run command uname -r
KDREV=dpkg -l kernel-image-2.4.18-k7
su -
password:
dpkg -i /usr/src/modules/alsa-modules-*
Note:
alsa-source versions below 0.9.0rc5-2 have a bug in it, it installs the
modules into /lib/modules/alsa. If this happens to you please mv
/lib/modules/alsa/* /lib/modules/<kernel version>/alsa/. and run depmod -A
before proceeding, i.e.:
mv /lib/modules/alsa/* /lib/modules/2.4.18-k7/alsa/.
depmod -A
SETTING UP THINGS
#apt-get install alsa-utils
#cp /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/modules-0.9.conf /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9
#ln -s /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 /etc/modutils/alsa
Edit /etc/alsa/alsa-base.conf :
# This is a configuration file for alsa-base.
# Define true if you want the OSS compatibility layer
# to be automatically loaded as well
startosslayer=true
# Define true if you want to unload alsa modules before
# your system suspneds. This is currently useful if your
# machine is hanged up after resume.
force_stop_modules_before_suspend=false
# Uncomment if you always want to stop alsa modules forcibly in
# /etc/init.d/alsa stop or restart by killing all of running
# applications which use sound devices.
ALSA_KILL_MODE="force"
Edit the /etc/modutils/alsa :

To solve this problem, i decided to run :

I am going for reboot...
it didn't work.....
