Help!! How do I enable the audio driver for the 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Sound Card?
I have just installed Red Hat 9 on my HP Pavilion, but I couldn't figure out how to enable the sound driver for the Intel 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Sound Card. When I used the view mode to see what inside the Modules.conf file, it showed the following lines:
lias usb-controller usb-uhci alias eth0 e100 options e100 irq=7 alias sound-slot-0 disabled post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : I also used the SoundCard Detection to detect the hardware and it showed this: Vendor: Intel Corp. Model: 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Module: disabled Please help!!! |
The correct module for the Intel onboard soundchip is snd-intel8x0.
From a terminal try # modprobe snd-intel8x0 and if this doesn't help, go to the ALSA site and read and follow these instructions to use the ALSA drivers. I don't know what RedHat uses by default. You may also have good results by searching LQ for a similar post. Welcome to LQ! |
Thanks
:) I went to that website and read the instruction. The website suggested that I have to recompile the kernel, which I am not familiar with. I will figure it out when I have time. Thanks very much for your help!

Hey, why don't you just use those instructions and try it. The worst thing that can happen is you won't have sound... |
