Re: Sound on Ultra 30
Another opption would be recompile the kernel and put cs4231 into the kernel, I mean, constructed in the kernel, not as a module, then in sound opption you leave without marks. Antonio. PS: I work in an UltraSparc 30. I'm using the kernel version 2.4.19 and everything is working fine. Any doubsts about ultra 30 feel free to write.

I'm not sure about the hardware in an Ultra 30, but it's probably similar enough to Ultra 1 and 10, which I have working. Make sure the cs4231 module is loaded. Then compare the output of 'audioctl -a' on your box to mine (below). Specifically, check 'output_muted', 'play.gain', and 'play.port'. For some reason, kernel 2.4.x seems to come up muted, where 2.2.x didn't. Later, Rob.

Re: Sound on Ultra 30
Many thanks to Antonio for his help. I got sound working by taking the sound card support out of my kernel and adding the aliases listed below to /etc/modutils/sound and running update-modules. I have Linux/SPARC audio compiled into the kernel rather than as a module, and it still works.

I now get the console errors about loading modules for sound-slot-0 and sound-service-3-0. I tried the following lines in /etc/modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 cs4231 alias sound-service-0-3 cs4231 But I am not sure if the driver name is correct. Did you have to do this, or did the pam fix take care of everything? Matt, I didn't make this. I'm also using the kernel 2.4.18 (as you can see, we have the same machine and OS). I remember, when I compiled my kernel I did the following (using make xconfig): Section: Linux/SPARC audio subsystem (EXPERIMENTAL) Audio suport (Experimental) - as module (option m) CS4231 lowlevel driver - as module (option m) Dummy lowlevel driver - no (option n) Section Sound Sound card suport - no (option n) My modules.conf file doesn't have the above alias you mentioned. I attached my modules.conf file to you see. The last message I sent to you was in the case you want to get sound as a normal user, 'cause I always got sound as root. I did that to get sound as user. Good luck and feel free to write when you want, Antonio. Snippet from Antonio's modules.conf file: alias /dev/sound sound-slot-0 alias /dev/audio /dev/sound alias /dev/mixer /dev/sound alias /dev/dsp/dev/sound alias /dev/dspW /dev/sound alias /dev/midi /dev/sound -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The way I got it to work was to compile the sun audio support into the kernel and compile the cs4231 as a module. Aslo make sure you dont have sound card support compiled in as with that compiled in it doesnt work. Also you may want to make the switch to devfs as it is better in my opinion. lots of luck -- /usr/games/fortune -s ~/.sig; cat ~/.sig Nat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've had little success getting sound to work on my Ultra 1 and Ultra 10 (cs4231 module) with the stock (woody) 2.4.18 kernel package, either. (Works fine if I just boot with the 2.2.20 kernel.)

Re: Sound on Ultra 30
Here are some pointers, but they did not get me the whole way there. I am still having issues with the sound slot and sound service modules not loading. I have tried to alias them via modules-update to read: alias sound-slot-0 cs4231 alias sound-service-0-3 cs4231 but to no avail. Does anyone know where this source code is? I dug around in my source tree under drivers and arch/sparc* but don't see anything relating to cs4231. Anyway, hope this helps: A. L.
