Just a quick question.... Did you compile your kernel
with the CS46XX as
a module? This may be a kernel issue rather than a sound issue.
Stephen.
When I installed the card and booted my machine, yesterday, the OS found
a driver 'cs46xx', so it was already there (whether in the kernel or as
a module, I don't know).
Then after that I compiled all the alsa stuff (drivers, lib, utils) and
tried to load modules.
Sorry about my lack of knowledge about the kernel.
How do I find out how cs46xx was compiled?
Luke
I've compiled and installed all the alsa packages (driver, lib, utils)
successfully.
Now, when I try to do:
'modprobe snd-cs46xx; modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe snd-mixer-oss;
modprobe snd-seq-oss'
I get the error:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: init_module:
No such device
I've added the following to /etc/modules.conf
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
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
any help appreciated,
regards,
Luke
