I downloaded alsa 0.9.0rc6 for my HP x4000 with Intel Xeon 2.4 Gig processor
running 2.4.18-3 kernel. The board has an Analog Devices AD1885 CODEC
(AC97).
That machine appears to be Linux certified. http://www.hp.com/workstations/products/linux/x4000/summary.html
What is the IA-64 processor? Maybe the Alsa driver was only tested on i386?
I followed the alsa install instructions listed for the AD1885. Basically:description: "Intel 82801AA,82901AB,i810,i820,i830,i840,i845,MX440; SiS 7012; Ali 5455"
./configure --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-sequencer=yes;make;make
install ./snddevices
Everything compiled fine, but I had problem when trying to insert the
intel8x0 module. Got the following error:
# modprobe snd-intel8x0
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0
failed
Note that the other modules (snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss) were
inserted w/out a problem.
I am new to ALSA, so I'm not sure what to try next. I'm not even convinced
that this hardware configuration is supported. Anyway, any feedback would be
greatly appreciated. I will list all pertinent output that I can think of
below.
# lspci

00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 04)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 04)

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio
(rev 04)
The 82801AA is supported, not sure what the 82801BA is but it must be a close cousin.
I don't know why that chip is used for PCI, ISA, IDE, USB, SMBus, and Multimedia audio controller.
I think you are really close but I have no idea how you can debug it.
Try the kernel OSS module for the Intel.
I suspect something works because it seems to ship with Red Hat from HP.

( don't know if this makes sense...)
I think it does because the Alsa driver didn't load.
