Sound - ALSA

anjanmustafi · 04-17-2003, 10:32 AM

Hello JPBARTO,
Can you help me solve the sound problem on my PC? I'm using Redhat Linux 8.0 . I have Intel 845GBV MoBo with onboard sound Intel 82801 DB AC'97 . I don't hear any sound . Could you PLEASE help me ??
Thank you in advance,

Anjan

Wow, that's a touch one Anjan. Uhm... its not looking good... it appears that the Kernel 2.5.x series may support this codec (ad1981a). Or you can try (for what I imagine is your 2.4.x series kernel) the development release of Alsa (0.9.0rc6). According to the changelogs for Alsa rc6 it should support the AD1981A codec.

hope that helps,
jpbarto

I got Red HAT 9 today

Now I have no Problems

All works fine

I think 8.0 is a bit " buggy" - no offense X)

Get red hat 9 iso's by going to www.filemirrors.com
and search for Contains>shrike

I've downloaded and successfully installed alsa 0.9 on RH9 and it's up and running, except the audio has a clicking noise. RH9 did automically detect my card and audio quality was fine at that point for things such as XMMS, and Mplayer but if I tried to play quake3 audio would just skip and stutter. Does anyone have any ideas or are there any special arguments that need to be added my modules.conf?

Modules.conf
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci

Thanks,
Art

There is a thread here which deals with odd noises when using this driver.

In the meantime I found that if you add the option:

options snd-via82xx index=0 dxs_support=3

to your modules.conf it sounds alot better, still not 100% but much better than before. I'll check out this thread.

Thanks,

While the option mentioned above works for XMMS & Mplayer it won't work with quake3. When starting quake3 using the dxs option quake3 spits out:

sound initialization ------- Could not mmap dma buffer
PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ trying mmap PROT_WRITE (with associated better
compatibility / less performance code) /dev/dsp: Input/output error Could not
mmap /dev/dsp

Has anyone run into this before? I'm getting close to saying screw it and just getting an audigy or an SB live these onboard audio cards always have issues it seems.

Thanks,
Art
