This problem has been around for a while now. People can't get SiS related hardware (especially display and sound to work on linux). I have tried and am working with a framebuffer for my display but got nothing for the sound yet. www.sis.com do have a "compiled" driver for redhat 7.2 I think. But that does not work with Mdk. I tried doing a little reverse engineering on the windows & on the redhat version of the drivers - was an interesting hour to see the two sets of code - but I didn't have more time to look into it. It maybe a good idea for a future project though :-) if you do find a solution do post it to this list. thanks navin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marcio Cordero Sent: Wednesday, 26 September 2001 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Soundcard SiS 7018: no sound Hi all, I've been trying to get a SiS 7018 pci sound card to work. The configuration tool doesn't give me any error messages but I still don't get any sound, using alsaplayer I was able to listen to a music cd very low even with gnome audio mixer to maximum. dmesg gets: Sep 25 22:54:19 dawnstar kernel: Trident 4DWave/SiS 7018/ALi 5451,Tvia CyberPro 5050 PCI Audio, version 0.14.9c, 14:37:13 Sep 17 2001 Sep 25 22:54:19 dawnstar kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:01.4 Sep 25 22:54:19 dawnstar kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 00:09.0 Sep 25 22:54:19 dawnstar kernel: trident: can't allocate I/O space at 0xe000 and 1 hour later: Sep 25 23:52:38 dawnstar kernel: Trident 4DWave/SiS 7018/ALi 5451,Tvia CyberPro 5050 PCI Audio, version 0.14.9c, 14:37:13 Sep 17 2001 Sep 25 23:52:38 dawnstar kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:01.4 Sep 25 23:52:38 dawnstar kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 00:09.0 Sep 25 23:52:38 dawnstar kernel: trident: SiS 7018 PCI Audio found at IO 0xe000, IRQ 3 Sep 25 23:52:38 dawnstar kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4326 (Unknown) If it was for modprobing the trident module, but I've been doing this the whole evening. Also cat'ing /proc/interrupts, once I see eth0 and the sound card and then half an hour later I only get the ethernet card. Device 00:09.0 ist an ethernet card by the way... Do I have an IRQ problem? Or could it have something to do with the winmodem I took out of the pc? Thank in a advance, Marcio Cordero -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
