cannot locate modules.conf

lowpingnoob · 06-15-2005, 01:58 PM

this modules.conf file that I need to complete install of Alsa, it isn't in /etc where it should be. I am using Fedora Core 3. Has any other Fedora user had trouble with this too.

/etc/modules.conf is for the 2.4 kernel series.
In 2.6 they use /etc/modprobe.conf

sure, and my modules.conf contains:

Code:

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.9a ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
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
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

alias char-major-195 nvidia

Do you have a problem with the sound?
Fedora has it's own tools to probe for the soundcard automatically. Why don't you search the menus in gnome.

P.S. you have posted 190 threads in 3 days. You definitely broke a record on this forum.

You are supposed to do alsaconf and those will be created automatically.
But I don't know if fedora uses alsaconf. Thats the problem with those "advanced" distros.
They change a lot of the default stuff. So use the utilities fedora provides you.

ok , I have working sound, but how would I get my 5.1 working, I cant get sound from middle channel or rear speakers. also, is there ANY way to enable CDDA for Linux, or is that proprietary windows crap.

The only advice I can give you on this, is to open a mixer and play with the channels.
I use alsamixer in slackware (open a console and type alsamixer) and have my 4 speaker working. The rear speakers in my case were controled from wave sourround channel. In order to make them work with CD's I use xmms (I think it's called media player in fedora), it's the winamp clone and only by using "digital audio extraction" in "CD audio player" input plugin (it's in options->preferencies).
