[gentoo-user] -- Solved -- Re: [gentoo-user] sound and acpi

[Alberto Bert]

The sound works now.

I've emerged gentoo 2.4.19, with USE flag apci4linux (aparently it
downloads apci patches), then I config it setting on all apci options
and toshiba-apci (I've got a 5200-801) as module.

BTW, alsa is not needed, as I 've understood.

Alsa is needed to give the sound, then once you install 
acpi.

on modern laptops (legacy free) the interrupt handling is

acpi, my ToshSat5000 needs it too.

RE: [gentoo-user] sound and acpi

[Gwendolyn van der Linden]

 I'm trying to make working the sound on my notebook. A kind
 guy already
 explained to me that I need acpi support and that can work
 just using
 2.4.19 kernel (wrong patches for 2.4.20 aparently.)

That one is new for me (that ACPI is required for sound).  But, I do
have a new laptop running ACPI (the patch from sourceforge) with
kernel 2.4.21, and alsa-driver and alsa-utils installed.  It works
fine.

I don't emerge my kernels, I just get what I want.  You have to
manually configure and build them anyway.

BTW, did you unmute your soundcard channels?  After each (re)install
they are muted.  Check with alsamixer: if you have MM at the top of
the volume bar, they're muted!

 I saw that there is a apci4linux USE option, should I use it in
 compiling kernel?

I guess you should set it before emerging a kernel; I suppose it will
get the acpi patch, and apply it.  Check the ebuild!  When compiling
the kernel that flag is not used.

Gwen.
