I have been trying to get sound on my RH 7.2 system for about six weeks. Downloaded alsa-driver-0.5.12a, alsa-lib-0.5.10b, and alsa-utils-0.5.10. Untarred, unzipped, ./configure make, make install. Driver went alright. After ./configure in the alsa-lib directory, I did "make" and got some errors I don't understand. Error messages are at the end of this email. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/yamaha_alsa.html says that the alsa driver download is all that is needed and that the lib and util downloads are not required so I continued. Went ahead and finished the sound installation. Have no sound except for very weak sound when using cdplayer. The box is dual booted and sound works great with win98, so no hardware problems. Several references say alsa installs with mute on and to unmute with the mixer. aumix doesn't come up at all and sound mixer says 'invalid mixer "unknown" ' The box is SiS M810 with Athlon 800MHz, built-in trident sis7018 sound. Running KDE2. Contents of modules.conf, part of /proc/pci, and lsmod are below.
I sure would appreciate some serious help. bruce /var/log/messages shows: Mar 31 16:00:47 bertha modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Mar 31 16:00:47 bertha modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Mar 31 16:00:47 bertha modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Mar 31 16:00:47 bertha modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 This is in modules.conf # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-trident options snd-card-interwave snd_index=0 snd_id="SiS 7018" # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 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 #----------> end add to /etc/conf.modules This is from lsmod 3/30/02 snd-pcm-oss 19104 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm-plugin 17840 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] sd_mod 11640 0 (autoclean) ide-cd 27040 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28672 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] snd-mixer-oss 4832 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-trident 15296 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 31776 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-trident] snd-timer 8416 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 24032 0 (autoclean) [snd-trident] snd-mixer 24584 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss snd-trident snd-ac97-codec] snd-mpu401-uart 2576 0 (autoclean) [snd-trident] snd-rawmidi 10048 0 (autoclean) [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3884 0 (autoclean) [snd-trident snd-rawmidi] snd 34752 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-trident snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 4452 0 (autoclean) [snd] /proc/pci Bus 0, device 1, function 4: Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 2).
