nforce2 Sound not working after kernel compile


Hi, in attempting to get my ATI accelerated drivers working, I recompiled my kernel to remove DRI. I got that working.

However, after rebooting, I don't have any sound. Starting KDE gives an error. Also, I seem to see a lot less sound modules listed in lsmod. I only see soundcore. I don't remember which ones were there before.

Any ideas?

Did you mess with the sound configuration settings in the kernel config at all?

No, I only disabled DRI in the character devices section, and in the /dev/agpgart section I disabled everything but my motherboard type (nvidia).

Also, if I boot with the old kernel, I get the same problem.

Thanks

I've got the nForce2 chipset also, but I have never had the problem. The way I do my kernel configuration for sound is just by disabling support for all other soundcards except the mine, and then compiling the driver for my card into the kernel, and not as a module.

Are you using a 2.4 kernel? If so, which driver are you using?

My soundcard was working with a fresh install of Slack 10. I believe it was using ALSA. Now, when I run alsaconf it cannot detect my sound card as PnP, PCI, or legacy ISA.

The only module I see running now is soundcore. I believe before there were severl 'snd' modules running.

Thanks

Previously, I believe my sound driver was snd-intel8x0. Now, when I run 'modprobe snd-intel8x0', I get:

modprobe: Can't locate module snd-intel8x0

Is this because I disabled an Intel driver in /dev/agpgart in my kernel recompile?

I'm using the 2.4.26 kernel. The driver I used was the one that says "Intel ICH (i8xx), Sis 7012, NVidia nForce Audio or AMD 768/811x", and I built it in instead of including it as a module. I also excluded all the other sound drivers.

Figured out the problem.

I had to reinstall the alsa-drivers package after recompiling the kernel. I couldn't find the snd-intel8x0 module anywhere. So, when I looked into the alsa-drivers package, I noticed all the files it installs in /lib/modules(...) were missing.

Is there a way to stop this from happening in a kernel recompile?

Thanks
