One question, should this powermac G4 be using the snd-aoa driver (http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Aoa> rather than snd-powermac <http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Powermac>? I don't know what the correct module is for the model listed. With my iBook G4 1.33MHz 12inch I found that snd-powermac did not work. To get snd-aoa to work I had to compile a kernel without snd-powermac but with snd-aoa. If I had both lsmod would always list snd-powermac as would the system-config-soundcard utility and sound would not work. After compiling the new kernel sound works and I have: # cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SoundByLayout ]: AppleOnbdAudio - SoundByLayout SoundByLayout # lsmod | grep snd snd_aoa_codec_tas 10697 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout 9534 0 snd_aoa_i2sbus 18011 1 snd_aoa 14732 2 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout snd_seq_dummy 1450 0 snd_seq_oss 30167 0 snd_seq_midi_event 5604 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 52321 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 5849 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 40852 0 snd_mixer_oss 16222 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 71703 2 snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 19637 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 6365 1 snd_pcm snd 50847 11 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_aoa,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6008 1 snd snd_aoa_soundbus 3889 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa_i2sbus -- Stephen Harker [email protected] PEMS u...@adfa _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
