Hi, Iam using RH 7.2 with the standard kernal and have succesfully managed to get the alsa-driver,alsa-libs,alsa-utils installed.
Iam using a Yamaha Corporation YMF-724 sound card. >From what I see I presume that all the alsa drivers have installed in: /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/misc So am I correct In thinking that I do not have to delete or recompile the kernel to remove the standard oss drivers that came with the kernel?? I load the alsa modules with: /sbin/modprobe snd-ymfpci The modules that this loads are as follows: snd-ymfpci 37840 0 (unused) snd-pcm 50400 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-timer 9936 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 23408 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd 27680 0 [snd-ymfpci snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] soundcore But when I come to play say a mp3, Iam not sure If Iam using the standard oss drivers or the alsa ones as the output when playing a mp3 is: ymfpci 41248 1 (autoclean) uart401 6544 0 (autoclean) [ymfpci] sound 59712 0 (autoclean) [uart401] ac97_codec 9440 0 (autoclean) [ymfpci] snd-ymfpci 37840 0 (unused) snd-pcm 50400 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd-timer 9936 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 23408 0 [snd-ymfpci] snd 27680 0 [snd-ymfpci snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 4432 4 [ymfpci sound snd] As looking at this Its still using the original sound drivers.. How would I go about only using the alsa drivers, would I have to recompile the kernel with no sound support what so ever, then install the alsa drivers/libs/utils, So it would only use those?? ( I have thead the README and Howto's, but still unsure) This is a test pc, as the main one uses a SB Live and when I run games and other apps, the sound just locks, there are no IRQ conflicts, so thats why i wanted to use the Alsa drivers, as i removed RH and then Installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 (which If Iam correct uses the Alsa drivers) and it worked great, but as ive been using RH for the past 4 years, I really would like to carry on using it..but hopefully with the Alsa drivers, that should remove the locking problem.
