RE: sound drivers for intel 845chipset + AC'97 (realtek ALC650)

2003-02-04 Thread greg
Patrick/anyone, 
I am having problems installing the alsa sound drivers.  You have to
forgive me, I am a bit of a novice when it comes to linux. 
I have installed the alsa kernel, driver, lib, lib devel and utils
rpms.  They installed without problems.  
I inserted the following into the /etc/modules.conf:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

I ran in a terminal:
modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
and got no output as I should have.

Ran alsa mixer and set the volumes.

and inserted the following in the /etc/modules.conf file to have the
mixer settings restored at startup:
post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore /dev/null 21 || :
pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store /dev/null 21 || :

The only thing I could not do (did not really know how to do), is remove
the current sound module.  I don't know how important this is.  How do I
list running modules, and how do I remove them?

anything else I have missed??

thanks Greg
 I couldn't get my Intel chipset working with the i810_audio drivers.  I
 suggest trying ALSA to get it working.  Fairly easy to do and
 www.freshrpms.net has rpms for us RedHatters...  Go to www.alsa-project.org
 and check the process and hardware out.

Docs are a little misleading...

(1) No you shouldn't have until you make your alsamixer adjustments.
 
(2) You have to UN-mute the levels in alsamixer and then set the volumes.
Check the help.

(3) lsmod and rmmod

OK, a little more info...


For (2) above:

 - Pressing F1 will bring up help menu.  Pressing the m or M button mutes or
UN-mutes the selected channel.

 Hi list,
 having some probs getting sound to work in my RH8 sys (using above
 hardware).  When initially installed, the operating system could not
 initialize the driver for it.  When it loads into KDE, this is the
 message I get:
 sound server informational message
 error while initializing the sound driver
 device /dev/dsp can's be opened (no such device)
 the sound server will continue, using the null output device.
 
 I have looked on the internet, but found nothing specific to my
 problem.  All upgrades have been installed, and the kernel I am using is
 2.4.18-19.8.0.  I thought it may be that my sound is not supported by
 Red Hat, and OSS, so I thought it might be an idea to install the ALSA
 drivers?? what do you think??  
 Also, how do I view error messages displayed when the system boots up? 
 I have looked in /var/log/dmesg, but it does not detail everything in
 there.  Is there another file that shows the rest of the startup?
 regards Greg
