Hi,
I've some improvements using alsa drivers instead of kernel's
own. I'm using 2.4.3, however. I only used the OSS driver soundcore.
Up to now, I have: (cat /proc/asound/sndstat)
----------------------------------------------
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.5.10b emulation code)
Kernel: Linux voabaixo 2.4.3 #1 Tue Apr 17 10:54:39 BRT 2001 i686
Config options: 0
Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation
Card config:
C-Media PCI CM8738 at 0xb800, irq 10
Audio devices:
0: C-Media PCI DAC/ADC (DUPLEX)
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Timers:
7: system timer
Mixers:
0: CMedia PCI
----------------------------------
As you see, I was not able to have Synth and Midi working, but
at least RealPlayer is working, that is, I have to stop the artsd - Kde
sound daemon, to use but its better than nothing. Also, I'm getting
better sound with CD's as it offers some mixer capabilities (not all).
My lsmod output is:
