You may need to enable various plug-and-play options in the kernel too.

What's in your /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9?

Did you run update-modules after you made the symlink?  update-modules
updates the /etc/modules.conf file.

Try modprobe snd-card-trident.

Also, try running dmesg, and see if it says anything enlightening.



Well, I've solved the problem, at least to some extent.Alsa now loads at 
bootup and even unloads at suspend, but neither esd-alsa0 or 
alsaplayer-alsa seem to see any acceptable sound devices on start. The 
OSS-compatability layer works very nicely however, but wonder what's 
wrong with my /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 ? Here it is:

I had to change stuff that alsaconf had added here, however, that are 
specifical parameters for the Trident DX/NX card. What else is wrong 
with it?

2002-03-16 Thread Max Koszela

Sorry for the badky written post. I should make myself a little more clear.

What I wanted to say was that libesd0 works and libesd-alsa0 doesn't. 
What's strange is that i've got libarts-alsa and arts startrs up just 
fine...

If there are no drivers, the only solution is to buy a new modem.

The ALSA API changed between ALSA 0.5 and 0.9.  esd-alsa uses the 0.5
API, so you won't be able to use esd-alsa.

alsaplayer should work though.  You probably have an older version.  I
think the 0.9 API support was added in 0.99.36 or thereabouts.  The
latest version in unstable is 0.99.56.

Well, I've had extremely good behavior out of loadlin myself;  both on Toshiba
laptops, and on, errm, older desktop systems too, where we weren't too sure
LILO would do the Right Thing.

Just make sure your kernels are always visible on the FAT filesystem and 
you'll be fine;  given the description I assume you're saving the windows
parts, so just create a /linux directory to keep loadlin's stuff in.
