2.6.0-test8 and sound

laurentbon · 10-27-2003, 01:42 PM

How can I use the built-in alsa option in 2.6.0?
I have compiled the kernel with alsa enable and my soundcard support in the kernel. When I try to play a sound, I have an error telling me that no soundcard was found. Same if I run alsaconf!
Furthermore, I don't seem to be able to recompile alsa-driver..

Any idea?

Oh well. If only I could have sound to work in 2.4.22 even... It drives me mad! Been trying so much and no luck..

You don't have sound in 2.4.22? What kind of sound card do you have? Did you check www.alsa-project.org to see of it's supported?
Did you do a 'lsmod' command to see if your sound modules are loading?

It is a very long story... My sound card is supported but I had nightmare getting it to work properly.
If you are interested and have time to spare, full explanation here:

The latest development is that after compiling 2.6.0test8 which didn't work, I recompiled 2.4.22 and again the alsa driver, and somehow, it worked though it broke X? Don't ask why, I don't undestand!
After 2 weeks messing about, I have got sound working and not sure I want to fiddle with it anymore... Even for the sake of understanding why it works...
