Hello,
This afternoon I worked on getting sound working under LTSP v4.2-2 on a
Dell Dimension PIII machine. It has a Yamaha PCI sound chip which was
autodetected properly by LTSP v4.1, but that stopped working with v4.2.
The first problem I found (based on an error at boot time) is that the
$LTSP_BASE/etc/audiolist file has the wrong name for the driver for those
chips. It's should be "snd-ymfpci" but that file just has "ymfpci". Jim
& Co, would you please fix that when you get a chance?
Once I fixed that file then the correct driver was automatically being
loaded, but things still weren't working because the "snd-pcm-oss" driver
(ALSA's OSS emulation layer) wasn't being automatically loaded. I don't
know enough about the kernel, ALSA, LTSP, etc to know who should load that
driver. Anybody here know more about what's going on with that?
So next I manually put these lines in my lts.conf file:
SMODULE_01 = snd-ymfpci
SMODULE_02 = snd-pcm-oss
And now sound is working properly with LTSP v4.2!
I hope this helps others who encounter that chip.
Jason
