Slackware 12.1 : issue adding channels for surround using ALSA driver on HDA Intel
Hi everyone!
I'm new here but I have a little experience with Linux (Ubuntu) and just jumped over to Slackware. Be nice, I'm still noob however ;). I migrated to Slackware 12.1 from Ubuntu Hardy just a few weeks ago and have been having a really tough time solving this sound issue ever since. I'm trying to use the 3stack 5.1 surround capabilities of my P5GC-MX/1333 motherboard.

On Ubuntu I was able to edit the alsa-base file by appending
Quote:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch
|
to the end of the file according to ALSA-Configuration.txt. This would allow me to run alsamixer in terminal and scroll over to add channels. As with Ubuntu, before I added the option to alsa-base, I am running Slackware 12.1 now and I only hear 2 channels. I read around the forums and was under the impression that /etc/modprobe.d/sound was the same as modprobe.d/alsa-base so I added the option previously quoted to the modprobe.d/sound. Before the change it read...
Quote:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
|
After the change, as well as doing a rmmod and modprobe to snd-hda-intel, I tried to change the channels however typing the command alsamixer gives an error
Quote:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
|
and typing aplay -l after gives the following error
Quote:
aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...
|
Is there something else I need to do (or what more information you would need) to help me get 5.1 surround sound. Thanks in advance guys. |
