Hello,
I have a SuSe 7.0 professional base system running on
an i686 with the 2.2.16 kernel. I ftp'ed ftp.suse.com
and obtained from there alsa.rpm and alsaiconf.rpm
from the 7.0 directory. These were installed using rpm
-Uvh <filename>.
I ran alsaconf as root. My card, a Via Technologies
VT82C686 [Apollo Super Audio/AC97] (rev 20) card was
detected, as was the kernel module/driver
snd-card-via686a. My /etc/modules.conf file was
modified so that the following lines were appended:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.5.9 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=17
snd_device_uid=0
post-install snd alsactl restore
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
Following which the alsaconf script exits with:
Loading driver:
Starting sound driver: snd-card-via686a alsactl:
Cannot open configuration file '/etc/asound.conf'...
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/snd.o: post-install snd
failed
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/snd.o: insmod
snd-card-via686a failed
done
No mixer config in /etc/asound.conf, you have to
unmute your card!
Setting the PCM volume to 100% and the Master output
volume to 80%
amixer: Mixer 0/0 open error: Invalid argument
Could not initialize the mixer, the card was probably
not detected correctly.
The /etc/asound.conf file does not exist because the
alsactl command fails:
nova:~ # alsactl store
alsactl: MIXER open error: No such device
lsmod give the following o/p:
nova:~ # lsmod
