How do I change these hardware settings

Jongi · 01-11-2006, 10:58 AM

This is how YaST displays my soundcard settings. I want to remove the one titled CA0106. I think it got added when I ran alsaconf and chose the Soundblaster Audigy LS. YaST tells me I have ALSA v1.0.10-0. .

This is how YaST displays my TV card settings. I want the 2nd one to be the one I use and the 1st one deleted. When I click on Delete, I can remove the 2nd one but if I do that to the first one it just returns as Not configured.

How do I remove all the entries and install them from scratch. Command line instructions will do just fine.

You can just delete them and then set them up from scratch using those config tools.

Delete them where coz as I say when I try to delete them I am never left with a situation where the list is empty.

[edit]Regarding my sound settings, this is the error I get when I try to configure the SB Live 24-bit.

When you delete the hardware configuration settings you may have made, save the changes and close the config tool. Restart it, so that it automatically detects your hardware and then configure it. As for your soundcard, I think thats the wrokg driver. If its a creative soundblaster, the right drivers would be the snd-emu10k1.

But reddazz, that's exactly what it won't allow me to do in YaST, to remove all the items in the lists. Which is why I want to know whether there is a way to do it via the command line.

For this SB, the ca0106 is the right driver as per the ALSA website.

In YaST I don't belive it deletes them, it still see's the hardware but changes them to "Not Configured"

The problem is that it won't let me set the 1st item (CA0106) listed on the soundcard settings to not configured. In fact if I try to Edit that item, the YaST Sound Configuration module closes.

At this rate I am just gonna re-install.

EclipseAgent · 01-12-2006, 12:19 PM

ok ok, no need to go crazy.. jk.

do a

cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

And copy the output here.

EclipseAgent · 01-12-2006, 12:45 PM

Oh, another thing to cat is

cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.YaST2save

Too late. A re-install is almost complete as we speak.

Ah man, you did go crazy.

What had happened was, you had an extra entry in your sounds.YaST2save file, that was not in the sounds file.

Which in turn caused YaST to close, when it tried to open the same entry in the sounds.YaST2save file, in the sounds file.

Something like that

Worry not, knowing my luck I will have the same problem even after a re-install.

Told you I'd be back. So after reinstalling YaST was showing only the one I wanted to see. Yet I was still have problems related to /dev/mixer. So I decided to download the alsa1.0.10 from the ALSA site and configure from the command line. Ran ./configure, make, make install, ./snddevices without issue. However modprobe snd-ca0106 came up with:

Code:

linux:/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.10 # modprobe snd-ca0106
WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.7-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-rawmidi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

It was at this point that I ran alsoconf again. So once again I am back to the original Sound settings problem.

Code:

linux:/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.10 # cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-ca0106
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ca0106

Code:

linux:/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.10 # cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.YaST2save
cat: /etc/modprobe.d/sound.YaST2save: No such file or directory

After running alsaconf, modprobe now returns:

Code:

linux:/usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.10 # modprobe snd-ca0106
WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.7-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_ac97_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.7-default/kernel/sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting snd_ca0106 (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.7-default/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

If it helps the Kernel version is 2.6.13-15.7-default

If it's of any value I get the same error in FC4

Code:

WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15.7-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-rawmidi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
