Is there a precompiled kernel that I can use for this purpose (making

I'm not particularly up for learning how to build a custom one just yet.
Try, dmaaudio-pmac
It is in the base set of drivers, and works on my G4 powerbook fine.
Also, can someone point me to instructions on replacing the one I've got
now with the new one?
To have the module load:
as root:
modconf
, then install the dmaaudio-pmac module.
(Or just add dmaaudio-pmac to /etc/modules, then modprobe dmaaudio-pmac)
To give yourself access to the audio device:
adduser yourusername audio
And make sure that group audio has read/write access to /dev/dsp and
/dev/mixer
Now logout of gnome or kde, then log back in. You should have audio
now.
