Hi Warren,
Thanks for the tip. But Ive had to use alsa latest v1.52 as it has the
support for my i8xo chipset. this is where Im at with it. Man, after
playing with this all day Im going to go have a beer and jump in the pool!
(its summer here):
I have managed to finally get somewhere. This is what I have managed to
produce with a few questions first:
I have no sound still and when I reboot I have to run modprobe
snd-card-intel8x0 everytime to get the virtual directories /dev/snd and
proc/asound.
The system itself doesnt detect any sound devices, says none are installed
yet I can get all this info from these commands below after running
modprobe?
The fist step in the install notes is:
You must turn on sound support (soundcoremodule)
ie. sound support must be compiled into the kernel.
How do I know if the sound support is on and/or is compiled. If it isnt
then how do I do that?
dev/snd dir along with others listed has pcmC0D0c and pcmC0D0p
not pcmC0D0?
there are other "alias" settings in the notes that arnt in my module-conf
like:
optioms:
snd-port snd-irq snd_dma......
How do I get this in mine?
Below is the command query results for all the steps I took after running
"./configure", "make" and "make install" in the three seperate directories,
then "./snddevices", then "modprobe"
Note that In the install notes where it says run "./snddevices"... then you
should get the dirs "snd/dev" and "proc/asound" .... then you run
"modprobe"....
Well, these dirs dont appear for me until AFTER I run "modprobe". Is there
any significance here?
sorry for the long post :)
regards
Gina
