Hello there, I'm new to linux, I've been trying to get my soundcard to work I think I'm close now, but at this point I think I need the help of someone who has already done this. I'm running Red Hat 6.1 and my soundcard is a yamaha DS-XG on a Dell Dimension, the soundcard is integrated on the motherboard. I compiled alsa 5.12a driver and here are the lsmod and others so if you can please help me go through what's not working I will really appreciate it. I've read the list archives and searched through other sites but all how-tos get to a certain point where you have to know more than i do to get it working. By the way, I installed alsa using the how-to on linuxnewbie, in which it indicates to edit conf.modules. one detail is that my conf.modules was blank, so i just added what needed to be added, but i found strange that it was blank.
thanks for any comments and advice. I hope I'm giving enough information for you to help me. --------------------------- Module Size Used by snd-pcm-oss 17480 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 14312 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] nls_cp437 3548 1 (autoclean) msdos 5276 1 (autoclean) fat 30464 1 (autoclean) [msdos] snd-mixer-oss 4180 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-ymfpci 4208 0 (autoclean) snd-ymfpci 35788 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-pcm 29784 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-ymfpci] snd-ac97-codec 23360 0 (autoclean) [snd-ymfpci] snd-mixer 27024 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss snd-ymfpci snd-ac97-codec] snd-mpu401-uart 1916 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-rawmidi 9400 0 (autoclean) [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3404 0 (autoclean) [snd-rawmidi] snd-opl3 4136 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-timer 8416 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm snd-opl3] snd-hwdep 2764 0 (autoclean) [snd-opl3] snd 36268 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-ymfpci snd-ymfpci snd-pcm snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-opl3 snd-timer snd-hwdep] soundcore 2372 3 (autoclean) [snd] [root@localhost /]# [root@localhost /]# cat /proc/modules snd-pcm-oss 17480 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 14312 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] nls_cp437 3548 1 (autoclean) msdos 5276 1 (autoclean) fat 30464 1 (autoclean) [msdos] snd-mixer-oss 4180 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-ymfpci 4208 0 (autoclean) snd-ymfpci 35788 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-pcm 29784 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-ymfpci] snd-ac97-codec 23360 0 (autoclean) [snd-ymfpci] snd-mixer 27024 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss snd-ymfpci snd-ac97-codec] snd-mpu401-uart 1916 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-rawmidi 9400 0 (autoclean) [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3404 0 (autoclean) [snd-rawmidi] snd-opl3 4136 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ymfpci] snd-timer 8416 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm snd-opl3] snd-hwdep 2764 0 (autoclean) [snd-opl3] snd 36268 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-ymfpci snd-ymfpci snd-pcm snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-opl3 snd-timer snd-hwdep] soundcore 2372 3 (autoclean) [snd] [root@localhost /]# [root@localhost /]# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [card1 ]: YMFPCI - Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF724F) Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF724F) at 0xf4010000, irq 9 [root@localhost /]# 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-724F (rev 03) Subsystem: Unknown device 8086:5345 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 5 min, 25 max, 64 set Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 9 Region 0: Memory at f4010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 1 Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1- D2+ PME- Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00: 73 10 0d 00 06 01 10 02 03 00 01 04 00 40 00 00 10: 00 00 01 f4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 86 80 45 53 30: 00 00 00 00 50 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 09 01 05 19 ---------------------------------------- Federico Miranda. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
