Hey Ken, Thank you for the information. However still cannot get the ad1816a to be recognized by my system.
In checking further I did in fact have the snd-card-ad1816a.o file in the /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc directory along with the snd-ad1816a.o. Here is a listing: # ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/*ad1816* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28093 Nov 23 08:07 snd-ad1816a.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9804 Nov 23 08:07 snd-card-ad1816a.o So I entered your settings for /etc/modules.conf and alsa fails attempting to load the modules at boot time. Here are the error messages I get when I manually attempt to load the modules with modprobe: # modprobe snd-card-ad1816a /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-card-ad1816a.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-card-ad1816a.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-card-ad1816a.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-card-ad1816a.o: insmod snd-card-ad1816a failed Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters This card works fine in MS based OS's, really embarrassing to admit that Linux cannot talk to the card yet Microsoft can. This card used to work fine with SuSE 5.3 and OSS. However since upgrading to SuSE 7.1 and the latest OSS I have had no luck. OSS folks have no clue why it doesn't work either, however they noted the ad1816a card is obsolete. My system is a HP Kayak with the embedded version of the ad1816a card. I checked the SuSE distribution and they have a kernel module for the ad1816a along with documentation under /usr/src/linux/Documentation/AD1816. Following this documentation hasn't worked yet either, I have a couple more things I am going to try. Then if I still can't get it to work, I think I will take a friends advice and disable the AD1816A card,buy a real sound card, i.e. Soundblaster Live, and stop using ALSA. There was a paragraph in the ALSA Mini How To about using a dummy card, if all else fails. But only that one reference to dummy card is all I have found in the ALSA docs. I am going to search a few archives for this as well. Thanks for your help Ken, I really do appreciate it. -jpg At 11:29 PM 11/23/01 -0800, Ken Arromdee wrote: >On Thu, 22 Nov 2001, John Griffin wrote: > > Ken, can you share the steps you took to get Also 0.5. working with > your AD1816A > > sound card please? > > > > My question to the list is, what options do I pass modprobe to get it > to recognize > > my soundcard.

I wonder if anyone's gotten any ad1816 card to >work with 0.9. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
