I downloaded alsa 0.9.0rc6 for my HP x4000 with Intel Xeon 2.4 Gig processor running 2.4.18-3 kernel. The board has an Analog Devices AD1885 CODEC (AC97).
I followed the alsa install instructions listed for the AD1885. Basically: ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install ./snddevices Everything compiled fine, but I had problem when trying to insert the intel8x0 module. Got the following error: # modprobe snd-intel8x0 /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed Note that the other modules (snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss) were inserted w/out a problem. I am new to ALSA, so I'm not sure what to try next. I'm not even convinced that this hardware configuration is supported. Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I will list all pertinent output that I can think of below. # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82850 860 (Wombat) Chipset Host Bridge (MCH) (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82860 860 (Wombat) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA PCI Bridge (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 04) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 04) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 04) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QH (rev 80) 02:1f.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82806AA PCI64 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 03) 03:00.0 PIC: Intel Corp. 82806AA PCI64 Hub Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (rev 01) 03:08.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly NCR) 53c1010 66MHz Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (rev 01) 03:08.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly NCR) 53c1010 66MHz Ultra3 SCSI Adapter (rev 01) 04:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0c) # dmesg (only pertinent section) Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 07:42:52 Apr 18 2002 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0x1080 and 0x1400, IRQ 11 i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5360 (Analog Devices AD1885) i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2 # cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- ( don't know if this makes sense...) # lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P snd-seq-oss 28896 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 5628 0 [snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 45388 2 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-seq-device 5612 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq] snd-pcm-oss 43524 0 (unused) snd-pcm 78240 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-timer 13952 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 12864 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd 37704 0 [snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-seq-device snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] nls_iso8859-1 3488 0 (autoclean) i810_audio 23008 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 11904 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6692 4 (autoclean) [snd i810_audio] fglr200 162216 10 agpgart 39488 0 (unused) sr_mod 16920 0 (autoclean) st 29108 0 (autoclean) (unused) sg 33476 0 (autoclean) binfmt_misc 7556 1 nfs 86108 1 (autoclean) nfsd 76160 8 (autoclean) lockd 56736 1 (autoclean) [nfs nfsd] sunrpc 75764 1 (autoclean) [nfs nfsd lockd] autofs 12164 0 (autoclean) (unused) eepro100 20336 1 ide-scsi 9664 0 ide-cd 30272 0 cdrom 32192 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] usb-uhci 24484 0 (unused) usbcore 73152 1 [usb-uhci] ext3 67136 2 jbd 49400 2 [ext3] sym53c8xx 62724 3 sd_mod 12864 6 scsi_mod 108576 6 [sr_mod st sg ide-scsi sym53c8xx sd_mod] Thanks in advance, Todd Metivier ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
