Hi,

I have problem with my audio card.
My card is : SoundMAX Ingegrated Digital Audio -- from Windows control panel.
I used the modconf to install modules, but I can't find this soundMAX.
And I have install "sndconfig", but running it give me a error said " NO Sound Modules found, and Soundcore.o was not found in the module search path."

how should I deal with my card, then?
thanks

did you install x-window-system discover mdetect read-edid?

reboot

try sndconfig

later on, aumix

You haven't yet told which kernel version you have. Run "uname -r" to find this out. If you've got kernel 2.6.x, you probably need to install alsa-base and run alsaconf.

I have install the mdetect, discover and read-edid. and my kernel is 2.6.6.
And I tried installing alsa-base and run the alsaconf, it can find my sound card and configure successfully. but then I tried sndconfig again, it gave me the following error:
You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound ?
? enabled. (soundcore.o was not found in the module search path). ?
? To use sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular ?
? sound, such as the kernel images shipped with Debian Linux or ?
? a 2.2 or greater kernel.

Another thing is when I use modconf to install the sound drive, there is not such a directory as:
kernel/drivers/sound
I don't know where to find my sound card driver.

Hello there,
You need to install the "soundcore" module using modconf.
You will find it under kernel/sound. You will probably need
as well to install the modules "snd" and "snd-pcm" which
you will find under kernel/sound/core.
Hope this helps.

hello,

I think I have already installed the soundcore, snd and snd-pcm.

and I use find -name soundcore.o from root directory, and not found it.
So I do lose that file. Any suggestion for me?
thank you
