Re: On motherboard sound



Hi,

Sorry to disturb you again, but I still need some
help, It seams that the ALSA drivers did not make the
trick or that I'm missing some thing. Actually my
situation got worse after installing ALSA.

What I did is :
1) Compiled a kernel (2.2.5-15) which has the "Sound
card support = Y" and every thing else set to "n" (As
the ALSA HOW-TO ordered)
2) I installed the drivers, lib and utiles using the
normal "./configure ; make ; make install"
3) Run the sdndevices script to create the ALSA
devices.
4) Loaded the snd-card-via686a module
5) Set the mixer volume to max
6) Tried to use the device 

But it’s doing nothing. Cutting an au file to the
device show no error, it just not making any sound at
all. Using sound applications like XmmsMP3 give en
error which say that "Can't open audio"

/proc/modules show the following :
snd-card-via686a		6896	0
snd-pcm			28952	0 [snd-pcm]
snd-timer		7680	0 [snd-card-via686a]
snd-ac97-codec		24064	0 [snd-card-via686a]
snd-mixer		23120	0 [snd-ac97-codec]
snd-mpu401-uart		1916	0 [snd-card-via686a]
snd-rawmidi		9048	0 [snd-mpu401-uart]
snd-seq-device		3436	0 [snd-rawmidi]
snd			35424	1 [snd-card-via686a snd-pc snd-timer
snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi
snd-seq-device]

/proc/asound/cards show :
0 [card1     ]: VIA686A – VIA 82C686A
                      VIA 82C686A at 0xe000, irq 11

/dev/sndstat doesn’t exist but /proc/asound/sndstat
shows :
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10a emulation
code)
Kernel: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.2.5-15 #21 Mon
Jan 15 23:15:39 IST 2001 i686
Config options: 0

Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation

Card config:
VIA 82C686A at 0xe000, irq 11

Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Synth devices: NOT ENABLED BY CONFIG

Midi devices:
0: MPU-401 (UART)

Timers:
7: system timer

Mixers: NOT ENABLED BY CONFIG



So,  I’m pretty much in a loss here. I have no clue on
how to proceed from here.

If you have any Ideas I’ll appreciate your guidance.

Thanks 

Erez
