ALSA Problem with Intel Onboard Sound

bjmurph · 09-25-2004, 11:54 AM

G'Day.
I'm having trouble getting ALSA working with my Intel D865PERLX under Gentoo, using a 2.6.8 kernel. I have compiled ALSA and the i8x0 support into the kernel (not modules). Alsa has worked for me under Debian Sarge.

When I run alsaconf I get the error message "No supported PnP or PCI card found."

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

May we please see the output from lsmod and lspci -v?
good luck.

My suggestion would be to compile the kernel with soundcore only, then compile the alsadrivers as modules. This may be the same card I've seen a lot of trouble with lately where the snd-intel8x0m module is the culprit.
good luck.
