ALSA with 2.4.26 kernel

I think this fits in here..
Now, I recompiled my kernel (2.4.26) to get SMP-support and now my sound wont work. It worked before recompiling. I ran alsaconf then and the soundcard was found and modules was probed and everything was great, tested the sound and it worked. I figured if I just recompiled the same kernel, that came with the distro (slackware 10), I wouldn't have any problems. I thought that if I just added SMP-support and did not change anything else none of the other setting would change. Apparently I was wrong. When I run alsaconf now, I get this:

Code:

modinfo: snd: no module by that name found

This appears when loading alsaconf.
When running the config-util I get some message about no supported PnP or PCI card found and it asks me if I want to probe legancy ISA sound card/chip, this I didn't get before recompiling the kernel. But when I press "yes" I get:

Code:

modinfo: snd-opl3sa2: no module by that name found

This is the module I used before recompiling.
The soundcard I use is a Yamaha OPL3SA2 and it's an ISA card.

Hope anyone can help me solve the problem.

Try re-compile ALSA. Probably when you compile kernel version 2.4.26 it placed it in a different directory and setup modprobe to look for modules there.

Do an lsmod.

Code:

# lsmod

That I'm trying. I've downloaded "alsa-driver-1.0.6rc1" but when executing "make" I get:

Code:

make[2]: *** [tea575x-tuner.o] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/alsa-driver-1.0.6rc1/i2c/other'

make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_other] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/alsa-driver-1.0.6rc1/i2c'

make: *** [compile] Error 1

/Marcan

recompile why, just get the alsa-driver tarball off the CD and do an

Code:

installpkg alsa-driver<version>.tgz

Ah thanks! But ran into problems even here. When running 'alsaconf', after installed the alsa-driver and the alsa-utils, it suddenly hangs while running "alsactl" in the alsaconf-util.

/Marcan

System hangs anytime when I run "alsactl restore", and that command is run when system boots up so I've got a problem :/
