SiS AC'97 Audio
Hi all,
Simply put, my SiS AC'97 sound controller does not work. It looks like the kernel just isn't loading the driver, although the hardware is detected by Sysinfo. I'm running Kubuntu 10.04, with a generic 2.6.32-24 kernel. Does anyone have any basic "here's how to install the proper kernel module" advice? I've googled and poked around on forums to no avail, and my attempts to compile and install the driver myself have resulted only in shameful failure. Thanks in advance! |
It might help if you would post the section of the output of
Code:
lspci -v Does Code:
lsmod Also the output of Code:
aplay -l |
lspci -v reports:
Code:
00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) aplay -l returns: Code:
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... Thanks for the reply! |
Load the module with
Code:
modprobe snd-intel8x0 |
So trying that results in:
Code:
WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/sound/core/snd-page-alloc.ko': No such file or directory |
First, look in the /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/sound/ directory and see if the files are there.
They should be. You do not need to install anything other than linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic. If, for some weird reason, they are not there, then reinstall the kernel. |
Hmm...very interesting. I reinstalled (actually, slightly upgraded) the kernel to 2.6.32-25-generic. When I do a modprobe snd-intel8x0, it now does not return an error, but /lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic does not contain that specific driver. It has:
Code:
