no sound after 2.6.9 kernel compile
I recently upgraded my kernel on Slackware 10.0 from 2.4.26 to 2.6.9. When I had the 2.4.26 kernel I had sound but with the new kernel I do not. When I startx I get and error that says "device /dev/dsp can't be opened no such file or directory". I have a soundblaster live soundcard. I am using the emu10k1 driver
Things I have tried.... unquoted the /sbin/module quote in the /etc/X11/rc.module file (still no sound) updated to the latest alsa drivers and libraries via swaret and ran "alsaconf" (alsa did not detect my card) ran modprobe em10k1 and mobprobe snd-em10k1 (result is always FATAL: module XXXXX not found) Here is my lsmod list Module Size Used by ipv6 223648 - ehci_hcd 25452 - usbcore 100772 - via_rhine 17420 - mii 3784 - crc32 3688 - nvidia 4813812 - evdev 7168 - ide_scsi 13676 - agpgart 27784 - Help! Also, my ntfs partition won't mount wherease before it would. I would like to fix that as well but right now sound is more important to me. Thanks for any help you can give me. |
hi there,
when you configured your new kernel, did you include the drivers for your sound-chip ? as modules. ( and did you include ntfs support ). this because the modules seem to be missing. egag |
if your sound modules are ok and loaded then reinstall alsa. that usually does the trick after kernel recompile.
good luck |
Well, i have a kind of problem like this.
I have modules loaded Module Size Used by ipv6 236832 - snd_pcm_oss 48712 - snd_mixer_oss 17544 - eth1394 18640 - ohci1394 31468 - ieee1394 97464 - tsdev 5568 - evdev 7232 - ds 13452 - pcmcia_core 53572 - ntfs 148688 - ide_scsi 14028 - scsi_mod 66020 - I know the modules i need in my sound card for alsa snd_intel8x0 and for oss i810_audio I installed them as modules. But there is no reaction at all. What can i do? When i Open MMS i plays the MP3s normally but sound from my speakers. It seems like drivers are alright but no sound. I also have the fatal error agpgart was not found at startup and i dont see anything related to agpgart in .config of my kernel 2.6.9 Can anyone help me with this? |
I ran into the same problem
re-compile the kernel, loading only "Sound Card Support" - no other sound options then: download and recompile alsa-utils, alsa-lib, and alsa-driver |
