Re: Using internal sound on a blue and white G3??
I read somewhere that the internal speaker in the B&W G3's won't work under
Linux, but you can get output from the soundcard.
That being said, here's a couple things to try:
1) Make sure your user account is a member of the 'audio' group
('addgroup <username> audio' as root). Log out and back in
for the group to take effect.
2) Make sure dmasound_pmac is listed in your /etc/modules file.
3) Create a file called /etc/modutils/sound with the following contents
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac
alias char-major-14-3 dmasound_pmac
alias /dev/dsp dmasound_pmac
alias sound-service-0-0 i2c-keywest
alias char-major-14-0 i2c-keywest
alias /dev/mixer i2c-keywest
and invoke 'update-modules' as root.
I haven't tried this through alsa, but it works under OSS no problem.
