So I installed ALSA....
Now I have my module, but I cannot load it.
It is there. I can see it, i can get the modinfo, but when i say modprobe snd... , modprobe say it cannot find it. What to do?

Have you tried a full install of alsa-driver?

snu · 01-24-2007, 01:42 PM

no i just compiled it for my soundcard

and you did make install as root? If you did, maybe try compiling full set of drivers and see if it makes any difference. Just to note, I have never compiled alsa for FreeBSD :~/

it makes no differnce and there is no alsa at freebsd. I set up a debian. however I have the same problem after i compiled just with ./configure

I can only suggest you run depmod as root, if that still fails try looking for your module manually in /lib/modules/[kernelversion]/kernel/sound/pci/

i take it you are trying to upgrade the alsa module in the kernel to a newer version ?
there are so many different ways to do this i think you need to give us details.
im running exactly this kernel.
my kernel has this version of alsa and i need this version.
i have exactly this alsa package.
i am trying to compile it outside the kernel and i took exactly these steps.
i configured the sound section of the kernel this way.
or i am trying to compile it a different way from that.
when i compile it i am root or not root.
