Hello, I have been trying get the right combination of kernel modules selected for building a kernel that allows me to select the output and input hardware via kmix. The machine laptop has an onboard frame grabber:
lspci: 02:04.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Kmix shows these options for "Current Mixer" Intel 82801CA-ICH3 Intel 82801CA-ICH3 Modem With these selections for Sound drivers in the 2.6.14.gentoo.r4 kernel are used: # Sound CONFIG_SOUND=y # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=y CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEMORY=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT=y # ISA devices CONFIG_SND_AC97_ CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=y # PCI devices CONFIG_SND_BT87X=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X_OVERCLOCK=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0M=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=y # Open Sound System CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=y CONFIG_SOUND_BT878=y However with a '2.6.12-gentoo-r10' kernel I Kmix shows the correct choice between the intel device and the BT878 device options for "Current Mixer". Here are the settings for the 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 kernel which correctly shows the bt878 and the intel hardware: # Sound CONFIG_SOUND=y # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y # CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y # CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set # CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set # PCI devices CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X_OVERCLOCK=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y # Open Sound System CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=y CONFIG_SOUND_BT878=y The obvious differences in the /usr/src/linux/.config files for the 2.6.14-r4 and the 1.6.12.r10 have been modified for every conceivable combination, including exactly identical, yet I cannot get the "Current mixer" options in 2.6.14 to make those of 2.6.12.... This issue is on the same laptop, not different laptops and all other configs are the same, so it must be in how the kernel is configured. I even directly editing the /usr/src/linux/.config file directly so as to not make a mistake via make menuconfig. After making modifications to the /usr/src/linux/.config file I run these commands (from /usr/src/linux): make && make modules_install cp .config /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 reboot <and test> Thoughts and ideas are most appreciated.
