Hello, the sound on my Dell Inspiron 3500 works fine... if I compile the kernel myself. I tried using the alsa drivers; it is working, but the sound is "buggy" when playing music. I wanted to use alsa to be able to upgrade the kernel easily, and to stop the modules before a suspend.
This is my configuration: ####For alsa: alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ad1848 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-pcm1-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-ad1848 snd_index=1 snd_id=CARD_1 snd_port=0x534 snd_irq=7 snd_dma1=0 snd_dma1_size=32 ###For kernel compiled by myself: CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP=y CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=y CONFIG_SOUND_MSS=y CONFIG_MSS_BASE=530 CONFIG_MSS_IRQ=7 CONFIG_MSS_DMA=0 CONFIG_MSS_DMA2=1 CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=y CONFIG_SOUND_VMIDI=y Does anyone has an opinion on the matter? -- Germano Leichsenring Kobe University
