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.
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.
Originally posted by blk96gt 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.
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.
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?
