Hi, I got the alsa source files from http://www.alsa-project.org/. I am using an Intel P-II chip with a Yamaha sound card. After configuring and installing as per instructions given at http://www.alsa-project.org/~valentyn/Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO-4.html.
after configuting and installing the driver, lib and ytils I ran the .snddevices and modified my /etc/modules.conf which is now as follows. alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 eepro100 alias usb-controller usb-uhci # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 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 after this I ran a modprobe /sbin/modprobe snd-opl3sa2;/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss;/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss I ran the amixer to unmute the channels and then installed the alsaplayer. While running the alsaplayer I see that the cursor is moving but I am not hearing any sound. below is the output of /proc/modules [EMAIL PROTECTED] raks]# cat /proc/modules nls_iso8859-1 3516 1 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi 5312 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-opl3-synth 12900 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-seq-instr 7996 0 (autoclean) [snd-opl3-synth] snd-seq-midi-emul 7212 0 (autoclean) [snd-opl3-synth] snd-ainstr-fm 3088 0 (autoclean) [snd-opl3-synth] snd-seq-oss 34720 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 5640 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 47216 2 [snd-seq-midi snd-opl3-synth snd-seq-instr snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 45700 1 snd-mixer-oss 16504 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-opl3sa2 9836 1 snd-cs4231-lib 21288 0 [snd-opl3sa2] snd-mpu401-uart 5168 0 [snd-opl3sa2] snd-rawmidi 18656 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-mpu401-uart] snd-opl3-lib 8836 0 [snd-opl3-synth snd-opl3sa2] snd-seq-device 6316 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-opl3-synth snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-rawmidi snd-opl3-lib] snd-hwdep 7008 0 [snd-opl3-lib] snd-pcm 83328 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-opl3sa2 snd-cs4231-lib] snd-timer 19560 0 [snd-seq snd-cs4231-lib snd-opl3-lib snd-pcm] snd 43140 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-opl3-synth snd-seq-instr snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-opl3sa2 snd-cs4231-lib snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-opl3-lib snd-seq-device snd-hwdep snd-pcm snd-timer] snd-page-alloc 8504 0 [snd-cs4231-lib snd-pcm] ide-cd 33608 1 (autoclean) cdrom 33696 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] soundcore 6532 8 (autoclean) [snd] autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) eepro100 22264 1 iptable_filter 2412 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_tables 14936 1 [iptable_filter] mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5888 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid usb-uhci] Please let me know what should be done regards rakhin I used the source rpms On Saturday 29 March 2003 00:02, Frans Ketelaars wrote: > Using the source rpm seems easier then a kernel recomplile.
