Alsa and Mixer Troubles on a SiS 7012
I've been having fun trying to get Alsa to work on Mandrake 10. I've spent the past three hours googling for information but can't seem to find anything that helps. I am fairly new to linux...but not that new...
I am trying to configure AlsaMixer and Alsa on my box, running an SiS 7012. Here is a list of my issues, which are all probally the same thing:[list=2][*]Running "alsamixer -c 0" returns "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for hw:0: No such device'[*]Running Kmix shows up a list and doesn't have a list of mixers. Rather an empty drop down box.[*]Running "alsaconfig" returns "Loading driver...

For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. Have a lot of fun!"[/list=2] Any Help would be appreciated. -f |
You seem to be having trouble loading the kernel modules. Are you running these commands as root? Also, if you are comfortable with it I would just recommend a full kernel recompile with the latest sources, it might speed up your machine while taking care of the module problem and letting you compile in new alsa and SiS 7012 support.

I am running these commands as root so that isn't the issue, I wish it was that easy =/
What exactly do I need to do to compile in new alsa and SiS 7012 support? Can I just compile like it is now and things will fix itself, don't I have to set some flags or do something specific? (also I just just get 2.6.8.1? from http://www.kernel.org/?) Thanks -f |
First of all, do you use grub or lilo? Read this all first before starting, and restart and see if you can do the last step and be able to change some of your bootloader info without booting into linux and then start. :)
----- Yeah, download the sources and as root move them to /usr/src, then unpack them with Code:
tar -xvjpf kernel-sources-name.tar.bz2 Code:
make && make modules_install Code:
mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old Code:
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot Code:
mv /boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz On the off chance that it doesn't boot remeber "DON'T PANIC" just restart and select the Mandrake entry and type 'e' to edit. Then just select the line that has the kernel name and change it from vmlinuz to vmlinuz.old ----- |
Okay, I did what you said and still nothing.

Try changing the module in harddrake and trying using aumix.
