Hallo,

I've been trying for a couple of days now to
get
any sound from my laptop (rebadged Asus L7000,
Slackware 8.1, vanilla 2.4.20) and seem to be
getting nowhere fast.
isapnp.conf contains all the settings that Windows
is using and everytime I try to get it running with
modprobe snd-opl3sa2 (or snd-card-opl3sa2)
I get
"Yamaha OPL3-SA Soundcard not found or device busy"
Are you sure that you have an OPL3-chip inside?
According to
http://www.muenster.de/~akorves/asus_l7g_de.html (in
German) the Asus L7000 has an Intel ICH 8x0, AC'97 Codec. You
need the snd-intel8x0 module then.
ciao

Sorry, it is an L7300, my bad. It's quite old and not listed
on the asus site anymore. (Celeron 400, 96mb, 10Gb, 13.3" TFT)
ISAPNP detects it as a OPL3SA2 and so does Win98.

Hi Chris:
If you can access the machine's BIOS when you boot it up perhaps you
can retrieve some more detailed information regarding the
audio chipset
and its configuration.
No, the bios is very basic, doesnt let you do anything with audio.
Not even turn it off.
For completeness sake I have to ask: how did you configure
ALSA ? Did
you build and install the entire package ? Were there any
problems with
it ?
I used
./configure --with-isapnp=yes && make && make install
didnt specify any particular cards
is there anything else I should have done

Chris:
Did you run alsaconf that is under the alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/utils
directory ?. It should recognize what chip you have and modify
/etc/modules.conf accordingly...

No, I'll try that when i get back to the machine, I did run snddevices (?)
or something, as suggested in the README, but that didnt seem to make any
headway.
