I am trying to follow these instructions. I get past step 1 and don't know how to do step 2? Can someone walk me through this please?
Step 1. unzip source code
tar xfvj alcsound.tar.bz2
Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)
Step 3. Complied source code
a. ./configure
b. make
c. make install
d. ./snddevices
Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the
distribution
(Please refer to the attached modules.conf)
Step 5. reboot your machine
Note: 1. The most detail information, can refer the
alsa-kernel/Documenttation/ALSA-Configuration.txt
in the alcsound.tar.bz2.
2. Kernel Version must be 2.2.14 or later.
3. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native
or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels.
4. If can not compile the source code, try to rename the
/usr/src/linux-2.x -> /usr/src/linux.
5. The driver added to support the SPDIF functoin.
6. Suggest use alsamixer to control mixer function. you can find it in
the alsa-utils-0.9.4 (
www.alsa-project.org).
