Alsa sound config


I installed a custom kernel (2.6.2) on Slack 9.1 but on boot i get the following error. /dev/dsp: device not found. (the previous Kernel-2.4.22 Alsa had my sound card configurations fine)

It seems ALSA can not locate my sound card. I have run alsaconfig but the system becomes unstable and hangs when it is probing for my sound card.

Is there a way i can put these settings manually (IRQ's and DMA addresses)?

Eric

did you update your alsa drivers?

did you enable sound support in your new kernel?

did you modularize all of the alsa drivers? (if you make them modules, alsaconf will find them, if you compile it into the kernel, alsaconf won't find them)

I made it work by downloading the Alsa drivers (alsa-drivers, alsa-lib & alsa-utils) from http://alsa-project.org

I configured my Kernel for sound support as a module - SOUNDCORE; nothing else.

On alsa-drivers:

./configure --with-cards=cmipci, bt87x --with-sequencer=yes --with-kernel=/path/to/your/kernel/source --with-isapnp=no

make
make install

on alsa-lib:

./configure
make
make install

On alsa-utils:
./configure
make
make install

then i run alsaconf to setup my soundcard config.

YOu then need to unmute your sound card by running 'alsamixer' and store the settings with "alsactl store"

Reboot your machine and experience your sound card.

I am trying to make my bt878 TV sound work!
