I'm fighting to have my i810 audio chip working. I saw and read carefully some others threads about this problem. But fact is that sound worked yesterday, when i finished a fresh compil and install of alsa.

The only stuff i didn't did is to edit modules.conf. I loaded modules manually, and this worked.

This morning, sound doesn't work

# modprobe snd-intel8x0
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed

I'm a bit lost... I don't undestand why it worked yesterday and not today. Moreover, alsa-project.org seems to be down at the moment (i have a DNS error)

Any help appreciated

It could be that you have also got the OSS drivers compiled in or loaded as modules. What does lsmod show?

Rus

That's true that some oss modules were loaded.
I removed them all

now i haves these modules loaded :

You need to get rid of the OSS drivers. To do this, go to your /etc/modules.conf and comment out the same lines I have at the bottom. Then you need to add the alsa and other non-commented sound lines if you havent already. I have the same card and heres how my /etc/modules.conf looks...
