no sound with kernel 2.4.2
Hi everybody,
I just compiled the 2.4.2 kernel. Everything is working fine except for
the sound. Under kernel 2.2.17 I had this is my /etc/modules:
sound
mpu401
ad1848
opl3sa2
opl3
options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7
options opl3 io=0x388
I used gom as the mixer. When I booted the 2.4.2 kernel (witeh the same
/etc/modules) and tried to play a song I got this:
"Cannot open audio device. Please make sure that the audio device is
properly configured."
And when I try to use gom I get this:
gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file "/dev/mixer": No such
gom: device. Error help: if loading a mixer special file leads to "No
such
gom: device", then you most likely do have the kernel sound driver
gom: not or incorrectly installed. "Permission denied" means you
gom: need permissions by the local admin in the first place.
gom:
gom: Current channel information
gom: ---------------------------
gom:
gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked
gom: 0.vol -1 -1 -1 -1 1
....
But there is a file named /dev/mixer !!!!
....
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Jul 5 2000 mixer
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 16 Jul 5 2000 mixer1
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 32 Jul 5 2000 mixer2
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 48 Jul 5 2000 mixer3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 15 18:51 modem ->
/dev/ttyS3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 28 23:51 mouse -> psaux
....
When I compiled the kernel I selected everything that was under "sound"
to be compiled as a module. Also when I try to load these modules by
hand (insmod mpu401, etc...) it
doesn't give an error.... I have no clue why this doesn't work! When I
boot the 2.2.17 kernel
everything works just great. Here is what I get when I use gom under
2.2.17:
user1@laptop:~ gom -t
gom:
gom: Current channel information
gom: ---------------------------
gom:
gom: No Name Rec Volumes Vol-0 Vol-1 Locked
gom: 0.vol -1 2 75 75 1

BTW I'm on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 Laptop.
Help is very much appreciated!
TIA!
Philipp
