getting sound to work
I just installed the 2.4.27 kernel image from unstable (after giving up
for now on compiling my own kernel), so now, in theory, I should be able
to get sound working on my Qube. I am using an es1370 card and mpd to
give it something to do, but no sound is coming out. lsmod returns this:
qube:/etc/default# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
nfs 93520 1 (autoclean)
lockd 65232 1 (autoclean) [nfs]
sunrpc 83072 1 (autoclean) [nfs lockd]
es1370 37856 1
ide-cd 33648 0
cdrom 32208 0 [ide-cd]
... so it is being detected and the module is loading. I set /dev/dsp
and /dev/audio to chmod 666. When I start a stream through mpd, I can
see from the Tx/Rx light that data are coming across, so this is purely
a sound issue. When I installed mpd, a large number of sound-related
packages were pulled in. Is there anything else I should be checking? (I
tried a different card known to be good, an es1371, and that didn't work
either.) Has anybody actually made sound come out of a Qube, and if so,
can you describe how you did it?
Thanks,
David Robinson
