I have been gone for awhile again. Brice you were trying to help me with the
sound when I had to take off. I hope you have some more ideas.
I ended up reinstalling mandrake as I botched trying to upgrade X and
couldn't get it to run again so I am starting from scratch. I installed the
arts packages and the alsa packages.
Here is my lsmod:
Module Size Used by
ppp_deflate 44000 0 (autoclean)
bsd_comp 4768 0 (autoclean)
ppp_async 8464 1 (autoclean)
ppp_generic 23072 3 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async]
macserial 38256 2 (autoclean)
snd-pcm-oss 45392 0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-pcm 59488 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-timer 11888 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm]
snd-mixer-oss 11056 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd 29776 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer
snd-mixer-oss]
soundcore 4880 0 [snd]
supermount 39072 4 (autoclean)
Here is my modules.conf:
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias eth0 gmac
alias usb-interface0 usb-ohci
alias serial macserial
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-awacs
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
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-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Hope you can help me out with this. I type amixer and get:
amixer: Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory
Here is another error message I generate:
[root@localhost dippy]# service alsa restart
Doing alsactl to store mixer settings... [ OK ]
Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 0.5.11): [ OK ]
Starting ALSA version 0.5.11:insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.4-6.2mdk/alsa/snd.o: No
such file or directory
insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.4-6.2mdk/alsa/snd.o failed

I tried the dmasound package that Stew put up. I got static after I ran that
so I reverted back.
