[gentoo-user] ALSA drivers don't load - was Re: [gentoo-user] Soundcard not detected
I recompiled my kernel with ALSA enabled and my card (Dell OEM Aureal Vortex, driver snd-au8820) compiled as a module, which I added to /etc/modprobe.conf/kernel-2.6. I tried to emerge alsa-drivers, but it said it was unnecessary. I emerged alsa-utils successfully. When I went to run alsaconf, it said three times before the menu came up, modinfo: could not find module snd alsaconf seemed to work perfectly, and then it exited with a cheerful message. Starting the alsasound service goes like this: * Loading ALSA modules... [ ok ] * Loading snd-card-0...[ ok ] * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers * Restoring Mixer Levels... * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card! [ ok ] I've attempted to modprobe snd-au8820 and its dependencies, snd-mpu401-uart and snd-ac97-codec before (re)starting alsasound, but that doesn't work, either. I followed the Gentoo ALSA guide to the letter. Once again, I must have misconfigured my kernel. (And yes, lspci now finds my soundcard. Didn't change anything, though.) I did all this from xterm within GNOME (logged in as myself but su'ed to root in the terminal), but that's probably not a problem since I've rebooted but still get the same errors when alsasound loads at runlevel 2 (boot). -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When you enabled your card in the ALSA kernel config, did you select it as a module? Can you find the module files in the following directory? /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9/kernel/sound (I has happened to me that add support for my card(s) as kernel built-ins, and suddenly ALSA does not work) On 5/22/05, Colin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I recompiled my kernel with ALSA enabled and my card (Dell OEM Aureal Vortex, driver snd-au8820) compiled as a module, which I added to /etc/modprobe.conf/kernel-2.6.
