Re: Gigabyte GA-7ZX & sound chip
hi keith,
i have a GA-7ZXR, also with onboard sound. to let the sound work i
have compiled the kernel (2.4.13) with the following options:
CONFIG_SOUND=y
CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=m
...the command lsmod gives me the following output:
wind:/usr/src/linux# lsmod
Module Size Used by
NVdriver 657600 34 (autoclean)
usb-uhci 20932 0 (unused)
usbcore 50784 1 [usb-uhci]
es1371 26752 0
ac97_codec 9376 0 [es1371]
...and /etc/modules contains:
rtl8139
es1371
usb-uhci
...and the simple test
# cat /boot/vmlinuz >/dev/dsp
makes a horrible noise ;-)
but i dunno if it works on stable, running sid since i installed the
box here...
hope it helps!
