Try "modprobe snd-opl3-sa2". If this module cannot be found, then your kernel was probably not configured for ISA devices, and you have to recompile it.

Re: [Alsa-user] Newbie to compile opl3 driver
(second attempt, had forgotten to copy the list)
The driver is a kernel module, not usually a package. Try
modprobe snd-opl3sa2
and/or
modprobe snd-opl3-lib
and/or
modprobe snd-opl3-synth
I don't have a kernel as recent as 3.7.10. Debian Wheezy's
kernel 3.2.0-4 has snd-opl3-{lib,synth} kernel modules. An old
remaster of TinyCore with kernel 3.0.3 has snd-opl3sa2,
snd-opl3-lib and snd-opl3-synth.
To see if kernel modules might differ with your kernel, do 'find
lib/modules -name '*opl3*.ko*'. If no luck there, check your
kernel's config to see whether the OPL3 drivers were enabled.
Regarding compiling from source, is there a file with a name
similar to 'bootstrap'? Sometimes that is a precursor to
./configure. If there's an INSTALL or README* file, that often
contains compilation instructions.

[Alsa-user] Newbie to compile opl3 driver
Hello list, this Toshiba Tecra 8000 runs Antix Linux (Kernel 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp i686 (32 bit)) for a few days now. Neither does it produce any sound nor does "inxi -F" mention any sound devices. The laptop is equipped with a Yamaha Opl3-sa2 chip. It works nicely under the Windows98SE that is now to be replaced by Antix. "apt-get install opl3-sa2" cannot find the requested package. So I followed http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-opl3-sa2 and downloaded the sources of alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-firmware and alsa-utils. But I got stuck when calling "./configure --with-cards=opl3-sa2 --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install" because there is no executable "configure". I got the sources again via git, checked out version 1.0.25 and still no "./configure" script. What am I doing wrong? -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
[Alsa-user] No sound on Thinkpad L540 in Docking Station
Dear mailing list members I have a Lenovo Thinkpad L540 connected to a Thinkpad Pro Dock (basically the same as a Ultra Dock but with less ports) on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04. Everything works perfectly except sound through the dock's audio jack output. I found this thread on the alsa-devel mailing list: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-May/076320.html. It seems they ware able to make it work on a T440s by patching the firmware with the following settings: [codec] 0x10ec0292 0x17aa220c 0 [pincfg] 0x16 0x21211010 0x19 0x21a11010 I read on a different thread that this seems to be model-dependent settings. My question thus is: how can I find the correct settings for the L540? Through the usual web search it seems no one has ever looked up the values for the L540. If you guys have an idea how to do it myself, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

[Alsa-user] Audigy 2 (emu10k2) synth routing
Dear all, Recently, I've been re-reading this document: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/Audigy-mixer.txt In particular, this has been of interest: *FX-bus - the EMU10K2 chip has an effect bus containing 64 accumulators. Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.* What I would like to know is how to assign each MIDI channel coming from the WaveTable synths to an end point that JACK can 'read' (i.e. show up 32-64 channels as readable clients). Essentially, I want to use the card as a multi-channel sound module, leaving the computer (and another audio interface) free to process effects and make live recordings. Please let me know what I'd need to do to get started, and once I've completed the configurations, I will make them available for others who may want to take this approach. Thanks in advance for your help! If there are any further questions, please let me know!
