Hello, Sorry to double-post, just needed to add a quick caveat... I'm not a member of this list, so please reply by e-mail as well if you reply. Thanks.
I've got a generic laptop (PowerNotebooks PowerPro 3:33, which is some generic 30n3 laptop) that uses the VIA686A chipset. I've built the ALSA 0.9beta10 drivers with a 2.4.17 kernel. Put simply, it doesn't work. I've configured everything so that the appropriate modules are loaded up. While doing so I get these errors, but it continues nonetheless: Feb 25 20:02:11 localhost kernel: PCI: Assigned IRQ 5 for device 00:07.5 Feb 25 20:02:11 localhost kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:04.1 Feb 25 20:02:11 localhost kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:0d.0 Feb 25 20:02:11 localhost kernel: IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.0, have irq 11, want irq 5 All the appropraite modules are loaded. However, the only devices created are the following: rob@localhost:~$ ll /dev/snd/ total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Dec 31 1969 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 32 Dec 31 1969 controlC1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 64 Dec 31 1969 controlC2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 96 Dec 31 1969 controlC3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Dec 31 1969 timer So unsurprisingly, trying to run aplay or amixer or whatever results in complaints about it not being able to find the device. Checking the /proc filesystem reveals: rob@localhost:~$ cat /proc/asound/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta10 emulation code) Kernel: Linux localhost 2.4.17 #1 Sat Jan 12 17:59:29 CST 2002 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: --- no soundcards --- Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Any thoughts? I was able to play sound just fine using the kernel driver (via82cxxx_audio) Incidentally, those other devices on IRQ 5 are the Cardbus and Firewire controllers. IRQ 11 is Ethernet. -- Soli Deo Gloria -Rob French _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
