hi..
i have ich4 chip (i don't know where this chip is? my board?)
and i read i need to patch with ac2
sound works after patching.
(by the way, i810_audio module was present in slack8.1 and i didn't get sound. maybe i didn't need to patch at all? just modprobe the module)
by the way
i can't control volume with kmix.

my sound module might be broken (i810_audio)
can i recompile this module only?

thanks

If this is a newer pentium 4 board with onboard sound you're best off looking into alsa as this is how I got my sound working.

yes it's p4 onboard sound.
alsa?
can u give me starting point to look at?

thanks

by the way i thought this is the other general forum.

www.alsa-project.org Go to the soundcard matrix.

Cool

thanks masterC

by the way, back to the original question
is it possible just to compile a module and install?
i think it is possible..
isnt' that the whole purpose of module?
then how do i do it?

thanks

Your original post is quite confusing actually. I think what you are asking is after a kernel compile, if you left something out, can you just:
make xconfig
Change "N" to "M"
Save
make dep
make clean
make module
make module_install

And that's it? Yes, you can do that, no problem. Be sure to copy over any new System.map files.

If you are asking if your audio module was already there, I don't know. If it was, then yes, all you had to do was modprobe it, and then the mixer should show the cards volume(s).

However...

Alsa is a very superior sound system. I suggest using it regardless of your problems here.

Cool

thanks masterC
that was my question

've just installed alsa..

i hope they have included how to unmute ..

when i unmuted it with volumn 100, it was damn loud..
