SiS7012 and ALSA
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any luck with getting SiS7012 to work
with
ALSA. This chip apparently has i8x0 chip that I wanted to try ALSA on.
I have been trying but I kept getting message that /dev/dsp could not
be
opened: no such device. This was under kde. OSS driver (the one that is
very alpha and freezes with Q3A) works fine, until something
spectacular is run such as Q3A.
It appears that snd-pcm-oss is not used.
debian:/home/davor# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
ppp_deflate 39040 0 (autoclean)
snd-pcm-oss 34816 0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-pcm 50112 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-timer 9920 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm]
snd-mixer-oss 9024 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd 25864 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm
snd-timer snd-mixer-oss]
soundcore 3844 0 (autoclean) [snd]
nvidia 1466560 10 (autoclean)
I do not understand why I cannot get any sound from this thing (apart
from the reason that SiS7012 is not quite supported under version
shipped with Woody (alsa version 9.0 rc-something).
Driver used is intel8x0 of course.
Here is my /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660
snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0
options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 snd_pbk_frame_size=80
snd_cap_frame_size=80
Source was compiled Debian way.
snddevices script was run from source directory; modules were updated
using update-modules.
Have I done something wrong? Or is this SiS7012 thing just not meant to
work? Any insight and/or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Davor
