Hi SnowSurfAir,

This is your problem:

Instead of that, you should be inputting this:

Code:

modprobe snd-via82xx

Better yet, visit this page for the instructions on how to install your sound card:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...module=via82xx

yeah I did that and it said this:

modprobe snd-via82xx
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.o: insmod snd-via82xx failed

Ok, you need to remove any sound modules currently loaded and running on your system. To do that, use rmmod ie rmmod snd

Remove all modules you listed associated with your sound card, then try to modprobe again.

If that fails again, then go to the directory /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci/ and look to see if there is indeed a snd-via82xx.o file in there.

do I have to log outa X to do that cuz it said:

Code:

snd: Device or resource busy

SnowSurfAir · 08-13-2003, 12:53 PM

and there is snd-via82xx.o in /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/sound/pci

Alf829 · 08-14-2003, 09:21 AM

well, you have to try to remove each snd device to see if any of them are not in use. When the ones not in use are removed, the ones previously in use are now not in use because you have removed the dependencies. Hope this is not too confusing.

Basically, try to remove each device and some of them will be able to be removed. After that, try the first ones you tried to remove. They should now be free.

SnowSurfAir · 08-14-2003, 04:33 PM

well how do I do that?

SnowSurfAir · 08-14-2003, 10:43 PM

I really need it to work so will someone respond?

Alf829 · 08-15-2003, 08:17 AM

use rmmod (module name) <- don't put the brackets around the module name!

ie rmmod snd, etc

do through each sound module loaded and try to remove them using rmmod. If it says it's busy, move on to the next one. After you've been through the list once, go through it again and again until all sound modules are unloaded.

The list in this case is the one you get by typing lsmod.

Edit: Note about brackets

SnowSurfAir · 08-15-2003, 12:57 PM

wait where do I find the modules?? and will that delete them??

SnowSurfAir · 08-15-2003, 11:17 PM

again I really need sound

Alf829 · 08-16-2003, 09:42 AM

Hold it! You do not delete the modules. You only want to unload them so that they are not running when you try to modprobe them.

Use lsmod to find out what modules are currently loaded and use rmmod to unload them (this does NOT delete them).

Alf829 · 08-19-2003, 08:33 AM

Hi,

Is the sound working for your system? It would be great to know if you were finally able to clear the modprobe problem or found another solution to do it.

Cheers,
