I finally got sound working, thanks. Now if I can only get the modules
to load at boot. Here is the sysinit script part that deals with sound.
How can I modify it to load the alsa modules and oss compat modules?
Oh also, gnome-volume-control does not seem to know that alsa is muted.
Is their a way, possibly in /proc or /sys to unmute the sound?
Thanks, --Lou
# Load sound modules if and only if they need persistent DMA buffers
if LC_ALL=C grep -q "options sound dmabuf=1" /etc/modules.conf
2>/dev/null ; then
RETURN=0
alias=`/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias sound / { print $3 }'`
if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ]; then
action $"Loading sound module ($alias): " modprobe sound
RETURN=$?
fi
alias=`/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias sound-slot-0 / { print $3 }'`
if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ]; then
action $"Loading sound module ($alias): " modprobe sound-slot-0
RETURN=$?
fi
