Re: Alsa Woes and AUDIGYLS (aka snd-ca0106)

[David Liontooth <liontooth@cogweb.net>]

Brian,

This all looks like build and installation issues not specific to
amd64, and very much alsa-specific. For what it's worth, here's
my experience with an earlier version of the 1.0.8 source:

mkdir alsa && cd alsa
cvs -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs.alsa-project.org:/cvsroot/alsa' login
cvs -z3 -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs.alsa-project.org:/cvsroot/alsa' co -P .
./build prep
cd alsa-driver
./configure --disable-verbose-printk 
--with-cards=emu10k1,emu10k1x,ca0106,bt87x --with-oss=yes --with-debug=none
make && make install

You then need to run something like depmod -a to update your system's 
list of modules, or in SuSE yast needs to
know you've built new modules.  Insert them one by one to see if they 
stick; monitor syslog to see the kernel's
response. But do it with the alsa guys, it's their table!

BTW, isn't the audigyls driver in the current kernel? Certainly in the 
freshly released 2.6.11, no? You might
try that if you're into building your own kernel anyway.
