How kind of you to help me find the simplest way to make my system give even the littlest bleat. I did # modprobe ac97 # modprobe ac97_codec # modprobe via82cxxx_audio # cat bleat.au > /dev/audio # tail /var/log/syslog Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P) via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xE400, IRQ 12 Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P) via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xE400, IRQ 12 via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -512
isn't 0xE400 what my http://jidanni.org/comp/system.txt says it should be? I want to try this the non Alsa way to reduce complexity. I cannot find tool "via-audio-diag" mentioned in some articles. Drain playback error -512 is not explained by google searching. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
