Hi, Ive successfully installed all the 0.9 alsa drivers and edited my /etc/modules.conf file. But Ive got a few nagging questions.
My soundcard is a SB Live 5.1 O/S: RH 7.2 Kernel-2.4.9-13 When I start up the pc i have to manually probe to load the drivers, so i put /sbin/modprobe snd-card-emu10k1 in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and also when I log into my desktop, I have to run a mixer to get the sound to work. But my main concern is that I don't think Its using either the full extent of the Alsa drivers or not really using them at all. I ve put up *all* the setting to full using alsamixer, but there seems to be a lack of Bass,Trebleb and general quality etc.. Heres the output of my /etc/modules.conf: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sblive snd-card-emu10k1 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=0666 snd_device_gid=0 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=LIVE post-install sblive alsactl store LIVE >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sblive alsactl restore LIVE >/dev/null 2>&1 || : All over referance to the original driver Ive removed. And heres the output of cat /proc/modules (refering to my soundcard), this is what comes up when say i play a dvd snd-pcm-oss 38992 1 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 9040 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-emu10k1 2384 1 snd-emu10k1 52368 0 [snd-card-emu10k1] snd-pcm 50464 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 9904 0 [snd-pcm] snd-hwdep 3760 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 12288 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 23440 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-util-mem 1664 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 4144 0 [snd-card-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd 27744 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-card-emu10k1 snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hwdep snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec snd-util-mem snd-seq-device] soundcore 4464 6 [snd] analog 7344 0 (unused) emu10k1-gp 1568 0 (unused) gameport 1936 0 [analog emu10k1-gp] joydev 6192 0 (unused) Any help would be great Mark -- ---- A penguin a day keeps the fatal exceptions away...
