2.6.10 Kernel not finding Snd Crd


Ok, i just successfully compiled 2.6.10 kernal and now it cant find my sound card. I have no clue how to make it find it, I am not even sure if i installed any modules i needed or not...lol i went the graphical method and did not add anything, cause i dunno what they mean...=P any comands or help I can do?

I have run alsaconf and it says it cant find the card, but when i run it under 2.4.22 it finds it no prob.

did you compile the drivers for the card into th kernel or as modules ?
you may need ot modprobe them.

what sound card are you using and what drivers does it require ?

you will need the vhipset it.
have a look at "lspci -vn" output.
and look on the http://alsa-project.org website.

it has a cool search feature for inding it your vard is supported, and what driver you ned for it.

so, it seems you have two sound cards. Have you disabled the onboard one in your motherboard bios?

I think that's a first thing to check.

After that I guess you need to find the driver for the C-Media card in the Kernel and recompile - if it exists.

I believe you can enable sound card support in the kernel
then go to alsa.org and get the source files for alsa and make them into modules for your kernel, me thinks.

never done that tho!

In any event it can be a good idea to reinstall alsa after a compile - to the new version

The AC97 isn't a bad sound card to use, however it doesn't have hardware mixing so its unable to process more than 1 sound stream. Looks like your card is supported in 2.6.10, (C-Media 8738, 8338) just select it as a module compiled in (for some reason whenever I tried to build my sound card driver into the kernel it never worked and I'm too lazy to figure out why). You may have to run alsaconf afterwards to get alsa set up to work for you.

Yeah,

I thought it would be supported.

Sound cards only seem to work as a module.

Must be something to do with ALSA.

Anyway, I hope you get in working.

let us know.

Yes the CMI8738 definitely does work (my onboard sound before I switched to an Ensoniq 1371 card)

Get the kernel source, cd into the directory where the source is, and then run make xconfig
(you need to know exactly what hardware you have in your system)

(this may be a little complicated) When the kernel configuration appears the sound card is under Device Drivers->Sound->Advanced Linux Sound architecture
make sure ALSA is Ticked or circled
then in PCI devices->C-media 8738 support tick that as well.

Then exit your kernel config and run make all (this will make your kernel) and under root run make modules_install
