Dont know which question to answer first, but no you dont need to give
up hope. I have two machines, both with D845BG motherboards (well BG or
PT they both are described in the same manual,- and the machines are at
the office) and the ALSA sound works fine.
Im running RedHat, 2.4.18 and beta12, so I dont see why there should be any
signivicant difference from your system.
Some dumb questions, but you may have missed a step.
(1) Did you run the ./snddevices script to create the devices needed?
(2) Do you have a /etc/modules.conf file with the following in it?
#===============================
# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# 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
#================
(3) Are you starting ALSA in rc3.d (or equivalent) with the alsasound
script provided?
(4) When things startup (after the boot) here is what I see (Ive deleted
the non sound things from the list)
[reg@bimbo ~]$ cat /proc/modules
snd-seq-oss 23904 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-midi-event 2680 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss]
snd-seq 34092 2 (autoclean) [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event]
snd-pcm-oss 36128 0 (autoclean)
snd-mixer-oss 8640 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-intel8x0 10432 0
snd-pcm 46784 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0]
snd-timer 9184 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm]
snd-ac97-codec 22432 0 [snd-intel8x0]
snd-mpu401-uart 2720 0 [snd-intel8x0]
snd-rawmidi 11424 0 [snd-mpu401-uart]
snd-seq-device 3776 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-rawmidi]
snd 23464 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq
snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec
snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device]
(5) So, I DONT understand what some of the modules you are loading are.
They probably dont make any difference, but things like snd-ac97-codec.o
could be causing a problem, and I dont know what snd-mpu401-uart.o is.
(6) And of course, after you have done all of this, you HAVE TO unmute
the devices using alsamixer. If you dont do this everything will be working,
but with zero volume. [ to unmute a given column, move to that column with
the arrow keys and type 'm', you will see the 'MM' at the top of the column
go out.
Thats about all I can think of, be sure the output device on things like
xmms are set correctly, but other than that enjoy.
