Hello,

After finally succeeding in building and installing for my target kernel, I
get to the tricky stuff : getting sound ...

When ossplay indicated no driver loaded for /dev/dsp, I ran ossinfo -v3 and
got   

Version info: OSS 4.2 (b 2004/201102091209) (0x00040100) GPL
Platform: Linux/i686 2.6.34.7-ELinOS-146 #5 PREEMPT Fri Feb 11 08:42:48 CET

lspci -s 1b -vnn yields the following :

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:811b] (rev 07)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:8119]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
        Memory at dff3c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00

Suspecting an unsupported variant of the chipset, I compared the alsa
hda_intel source against the oss4 devlists and found the the following
devices
(pciid) that are not supported by OSS4:

        /* ICH 6..10 */
        ...     
        { PCI_DEVICE(0x8086, 0x2911), .driver_data = AZX_DRIVER_ICH },
        ...
        /* PCH */
        ...
        { PCI_DEVICE(0x8086, 0x3b57), .driver_data = AZX_DRIVER_ICH },
        /* CPT */
        { PCI_DEVICE(0x8086, 0x1c20), .driver_data = AZX_DRIVER_PCH },
        /* SCH */
        { PCI_DEVICE(0x8086, 0x811b), .driver_data = AZX_DRIVER_SCH },  


Can they be simply added to devlists or do I need to add other modifications
? Restart soundon, reinstall with make or recompile completely ? 

The alsa source seems to treat the SCH exactly as the PCH, 
except for HDA snooping, which it will enable at init.

As I am not familiar with HD audio, can someone indicate if this feature is
necessary ?

Thanks a lot for any help,

Sven.

P.S. If this list is considered inapproprate for these questions, please
tell me ...
