Alsa

dnar · 01-04-2003, 07:07 AM

I want to have a play with the Alsa packages. I went to find a kernel module for 2.4.20 on the Alsa site, but they dont have one. I found good instruction's for installing Alsa on the freshrpms page, and what promised to be rpm's for RH8! But alas, the freshrpms server has spat the dummy...

Anyone know where I can find the Alsa kernel module for 2.4.20 (plain)?

Anyone using Alsa? Any tips/comments?

Thanks in advance.

G'day dnar,
I posted an answer to this question in the thread you started at Ars.

Thanks, I thought I recognised you!

I am compiling in the pre-empt kernel patch as we speak, then I will try the Alsa install.

If you want some more info on sound and linux have a look at linux-sound.org.

Does this mean that we're multi-threading?

Hyper-threading!

Ok, I have the pre-emptive kernel patch applied to 2.4.20 (along with the Win4Lin patch) and it rocks! The system response at the desktop is noticably faster! Oh yeah!

I have a few RL things to take care of, then I'll attempt the Alsa install. I have printed out the Creative PCI 128 installation details, looks straight forward.

Thanks again.
