Hey Dan,

I managed to get the sound going with alsa, with the same motheboard.
I sort of used the instructions from this site as a guide.

http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modloadname=Sectionsfile=indexreq=viewarticleartid=541page=1

I have a custom kernel and am using packages from unstable. 
i got the alsa-source package, and built the alsa module from that.

Then I also got the alsa-base, alsa-utils as well. 

There was a gnome alsamixer package as well

Fairly straightforward, and it works
although the sound is a bit scratchy at the moment, maybe playing around
with the mixer will fix it up.

Dan,
REsponding to you directly as I'm not on the List, but
was searching the  Archives.

Not sure this will solve the problem.
But if your Debian is Stable, you may need additional
devices to support  sound. Read  man MAKEDEV
If you are using the devfs, with 2.4.22-pre10
you must boot with:  option devfs=nomount
before you can run:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV -v -d audio
--
audio:  This  creates  the audio devices
used by the sound driver.
These include mixer mixer{1..3} (Mixer
controls),  sequencer (Audio sequencer), dsp dsp{1..3} (Digital audio),
sndstat(Sound card status information), audioctl (SPARC  audio  
control  device)and audio   audio{1..3} (Sun-compatible
digital audio). MIDI devices are midi00 through midi03,
midi{0..3}, rmidi{0..3}, smpte{0..3}.
In addition,  devices  mpu401data  and mpu401stat  are created.

Thanks! 
I will try that once I find out how 
to boot with option devfs=nomount !

I have the same motherboard and the on-board sound works fine with ALSA. 

 I have made some progress, posted the last dmesg to
 http://hunt.ath.cx/dmesg.txt

Your dmesg output shows half a dozen lines beginning via82cxxx.  I
believe these are from the kernel OSS drivers so you might want to
disable these first as thats probably causing this:

VIA 82xx soundcard not found or device busy

(Although thats a guess I never tried the OSS driver myself)

 I installed aumix and set the volume up with that. 

The device outputs 6 channels make sure you set the *volume* and *unmute*
the necessary channels.

Use alsamixer (or alsamixergui for X11) to adjust the channels as aumix

Re: Sound config

2000-11-25 Thread Ray Percival
Do this and be very carefull.
Take a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list add a line for unstable. Do a apt-get 
update then do a apt-get install sndconfig. Then do not wait do not pass go do 
not collect $200 comment out the unstable line from your sources. Then do a 
apt-get update and press on. Yes there are some problems with doing it this way 
and yes apt might complain at you in the future but with the 1 or 2 packages I 
really need (pdq and xpdq) that I have done this with I have not broken 
anything. Maybe others can tell you bad stories but it works for me.

Hi,

I've got a YAMAHA YMF715 sound chip on my mother board
and I used to drive it with OPL3 SAx2 when I used Corel
Linux. Now I'm using Debian 2.2 but I can't find the
sndconfig tool I had in Corel. Apt-get couldn't fetch 
package sndconfig.

I've looked into the mail-list archive and in Feb 2000 
I found a message from Yannick Jentsin which should work
fine, but it's a bit criptic for me. I don't know where
to start from and what to do next.

Is there anyone that can tell me what I should do,
step by step? I've only the soundcore module compiled
in the kernel. Where could I find opl3, opl3sa2?

Thanks in advance.

 nothing about this. Does anyone know what I can do to get the sound
 card working with this kernel?

You need to either pass the parameters from the command line (either
with an append=sound... in /etc/lilo.conf or at the actual LILO
command line) or you need to make your sound a module.  I have this in
my /etc/modules :

auto
cs4232 io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 dma2=3

You obviously need to change things to reflect your own setup, but that
should be a good guide. 

Good luck,

Re: Sound Config Probs

1999-10-06 Thread Kenneth Scharf
I guess the post 2.0 kernels handle this differently. 
I know that if you use 2.0.3x the isapnp runs AFTER
the kernel inits built-in's but BEFORE modules are
loaded.  The best thing would be for the driver to do
the pnp stuff itself which is how (I think) it happens
in windows.  I'll have to revist this sound config
stuff when I move to 2.2.1x (I'm waiting for 2.2.13
since 2.2.12 STILL has some bad bugs in it.  Come on
Allen!)

Sure.  Install the Debain version of isapnp, available from any mirror
site at
/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/base/isapnptools_1.16-4.1.deb

Just so you know, the Redhat package manager, rpm, is also available in
Debian format.  The file name is rpm_2.5.1-6.deb.

Also, you can search for packages by name in dselect (searching for
'isapnp' would have avoided this whole alien/rpm thing).  You can also
search for them by name and description at

Um,  simplest thing to do is (assuming you have win95 or dos or os/2
or something besides linux on your machine) boot to you're other os,
write down the settings and then use the same ones in linux. 

It depends,  tho,  because in a system with a pnp bios,  they'll be set by
the bios,  in which case the above will work.  In a system without a pnp
bios,  you'll need to install isapnp tools to config it right.

Then again, if you have a *really old* SB16,  it might not be
pnp-compatible,  in which case you'll have to fuggle around with the
jumpers on the card.
