Hello all, I'm running Debian (mostly stable) with kernel 2.4.20 and I can't get the kernel to find the sound card.
The error messages I've been getting are: 16:12 /etc/alsa/modutils # /etc/init.d/alsa start Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.4): intel8x0-failed no sound cards defined. Restoring ALSA mixer settings... failed. Indeed: 16:27 /proc/asound > cat cards --- no soundcards --- 16:27 /proc/asound > Messages at /var/log/kern.log are: kernel: Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 14:48:21 Jun 19 2003 kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 kernel: i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0xd800 and 0xdc00, MEM 0x0000 and 0x0000, IRQ 17 kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. kernel: i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode. kernel: i810_audio: Resetting connection 0 kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ADS96(Analog Devices AD1885) kernel: i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2 But later in the same file: kernel: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy Any ideas of what to do?
