snd-nm256 module prob

Alex_jacobson · 02-23-2004, 08:39 AM

Hi all,

I installed the new kernel, 2.6.3 and when it comes to load my soundcard, it just freezes over and I cannot do anything else after. I modularized my soundcard into a module called snd-nm256.ko and when I boot, it boots well but I don't get any sound, so I load my module with modprobe and it freezes over like if it were in the kernel... I got a Dell Latitude and no problems with the 2.4 series, can I take the module of one of these versions ?

Thanks in advance,

if you're using the exact same module from 2.4 and trying to load it in 2.6 (having renamed it .ko, I suppose).... yeah, that'll freeze.

Have you tried ALSA?
Compile sound support only in kernel (soundcore but don't select alsa or OSS)
Then compile ALSA seperately as per instructions on
alsa-project.org
for your soundcard in the soundcard matrix

Thanks ! I'll try it when I'll be at home, but the freeze comes when it took the 2.6.3 module, I can't load the 2.4.* one...

Depending the version of your Latitude you may need to use the snd-cs4232 driver. This is true for the CPi 300XT at least, and probably several other models.

Head on over to Yahoo Groups and browse the group linux-dell-laptops, when I worked with Dells I made regular visits there to find solutions to problems and pick up nice tricks.
