ALSA on fedora 10


Hi

I downloaded and installed alsa-driver-1.0.20 from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page and it all seemed to work fine.

I rebooted.

Now I get ....
[root@seven ann]# rpm -qa "alsa*"
alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.i386
alsa-utils-1.0.20-2.fc10.i386

I didn't get anything before but still no alsa-driver!? and if I try to force mplayer to use alsa I get...

No such audio driver 'alsa'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

If I try yum ...
[root]# yum install alsa-driver
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package alsa-driver available.
Nothing to do


I was using alsa on fedora9 but since the upgrade I've been stumped. Can anyone tell me how to get it installed on fedroa 10?

Thanks

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know if the Fedora Kernel configuration you are using actually has the sound modules you require, built?

Try `modprobe snd_hda_intel` first.

Have a look into /lib/modules/<your-kernel>/kernel/drivers/sound and see if the module(s) called 'snd_hda_intel' and its associated other parts, are actually there. Also (to achieve the same result basically) type `lsmod` in a console as root, and look for the snd_ modules. Also (another place to look) is in /sys/asound to see what stuff is in there.. If the sound system is somewhat configured, there should be some stuff in there; if it looks pretty lonely in there, it's a hint that the driver stuff is not installed/built.


If they're not there, they *might* be built into the kernel statically-- I don't know much of how Fedora kernels are put together.. But if you can locate the kernel config file at /proc/config.gz then you could look in it to see what sound options you have.

Try running `alsaconf` and see what that says (if anything).

Keep us posted as to how you're making out with this..
