Re: Can't get audio to work
The 'K7' builds are only for us who run AMD Athlons. I thought I made this
point in my previous message, but obviously not.
So when you do an 'apt-cache search asla-modules' (BTW, learn to love
apt-cache, it will save your skin many times), you get:
coffee (steve)$ apt-cache search alsa-modules
alsa-modules-2.4.16-386 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-586 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-586tsc - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-686 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-686-smp - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-k6 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.16-k7 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-386 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-586tsc - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-686 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-686-smp - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-k6 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
alsa-modules-2.4.18-k7 - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (drivers)
So if you're running a pII or higher, you'll want to use the
alsa-modules-2.4.18-686 (this, of course, assumes that you're kernel image
comes from the package 'kernel-image-686'. So perhaps the first order of
business is determining which kernel image you're using. Did you roll you
own? If so, you'll have to rebuild with the alsa modules as well. If you're
(as I am) lazy and installed from a package, it will be a little less painful.
If you didn't builid you're own kernel, what shows up when you do
'ls /lib/modules'? Let us know.
Hang in there, chief. We'll get this figured out. ;)
