Just in case anyone can use the two bits of information I turned up...
Having tried everything I could find to try to make the OSS
(i810_audio) driver work, based on what little information I
could find about it in the docs or online , I finally gave up
and compiled and installed Alsa drivers for
i810_audio 21248 0
ac97_codec 9568 0 [i810_audio]
soundcore 3236 2 [i810_audio]
What kernel version is this?
2.4.18-bf2.4 (sorry, should have included that originally)
How recent is the alsaconf package?
If you try unloading all OSS modules
i810_audio 21248 0
ac97_codec 9568 0 [i810_audio]
soundcore 3236 2 [i810_audio]
What kernel version is this?
2.4.18-bf2.4 (sorry, should have included that originally)
How recent is the alsaconf package?
If you try unloading all OSS
lsmod? Does your driver show up?
Yes... following is snipped from lsmod output:
i810_audio 21248 0
ac97_codec 9568 0 [i810_audio]
soundcore 3236 2 [i810_audio]
In syslog, does it get activated? Like:
