there is some problems that i am facing during my installation of soundMAX on Fedora Core-up(2.4.22.1.2115.nptl) (1)i suppose the modules states in /etc/modules.conf should be automatically loaded during the startup. however, i didn't found any foot steps of the loaded modules either from /proc/modules or dmesg. by looking at /proc/asound/cards, it complains no such file or directory. contents of /etc/modules.conf ============================= alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.3 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- contents of /proc/modules ========================= ide-cd 35776 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33728 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] lp 9060 0 (autoclean) parport 37056 0 (autoclean) [lp] autofs 13364 0 (autoclean) (unused) ipt_REJECT 4344 1 (autoclean) ipt_state 1080 1 (autoclean) ip_conntrack 29256 1 (autoclean) [ipt_state] iptable_filter 2444 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 15776 3 [ipt_REJECT ipt_state iptable_filter] floppy 58012 0 (autoclean) sg 36492 0 (autoclean) (unused) scsi_mod 108168 1 (autoclean) [sg] microcode 4700 0 (autoclean) keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 24708 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 20264 0 (unused) usb-uhci 26380 0 (unused) usbcore 79168 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-uhci] mousedev 5556 1 (autoclean) input 5888 0 (autoclean) [keybdev hid mousedev] ext3 71300 2 jbd 52084 2 [ext3] contents of dmesg ============================= --DIDN'T SEE ANY FOOT PRINT OF LOADED INTEL8x0 MODULES-- (2)ok. i just ignore the problem 1 at this moment. i modprobe snd-intel8x0 explicitly. by looking at /proc/asound/cards, by looking at /proc/asound/cards, here is the message. 0 [ICH5 ]: ICH - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 at 0xfebff800, irq 5 contents of /proc/modules(after modprobe explicitly) ========================= snd-intel8x0 24648 0 (unused) snd-ac97-codec 59676 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-pcm 85956 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 19652 0 [snd-pcm] gameport 3380 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 5280 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 18784 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 6188 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 46116 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 6468 0 [snd] snd-page-alloc 10164 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] ide-cd 35776 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33728 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] lp 9060 0 (autoclean) parport 37056 0 (autoclean) [lp] autofs 13364 0 (autoclean) (unused) ipt_REJECT 4344 1 (autoclean) ipt_state 1080 1 (autoclean) ip_conntrack 29256 1 (autoclean) [ipt_state] iptable_filter 2444 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 15776 3 [ipt_REJECT ipt_state iptable_filter] floppy 58012 0 (autoclean) sg 36492 0 (autoclean) (unused) scsi_mod 108168 1 (autoclean) [sg] microcode 4700 0 (autoclean) keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 24708 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 20264 0 (unused) usb-uhci 26380 0 (unused) usbcore 79168 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-uhci] mousedev 5556 1 (autoclean) input 5888 0 (autoclean) [keybdev hid mousedev] ext3 71300 2 jbd 52084 2 [ext3] contents of dmesg(after modprobe explicitly) ============================= intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49848 usecs intel8x0: clocking to 48000 i use gnome-volume-control to do volume control. strange things happen here, when i open /usr/bin/redhat-config-soundcard, i will display the Vendor: Intel Corp. Model: 82801EB AC'97 Audio Controller Module: i810_audio (i suppose the module is snd-intel8x0 according to alsaconf ): ok, i click "test sound". strange thing happen here, it will pop out an error message saying that "The i810_audio driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux." i click ok, a beautiful sound come out!!! :O :O :O i check the /proc/modules, still snd-intel8x0 modules loaded, 1810_audio not loaded. content of dmesg(after "test sound" clicked) ============================ Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 15:50:18 Oct 29 2003 Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 15:50:18 Oct 29 2003 content of /var/log/messages(after "test sound" clicked) ============================ Mar 5 12:40:19 localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: init_module: No such device Mar 5 12:40:19 localhost insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg Mar 5 12:40:19 localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Mar 5 12:41:20 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Mar 5 12:41:20 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 Mar 5 12:41:20 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 Mar 5 12:41:20 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 (3)i try to test again with gnome-cd and xmms with audio cd, no sound this time :( i confirm the volume control is already up and not muted. snd-intel8x0 modules is loaded. just that the application still keep want to use i810_audio (i suspect). no new message from /var/log/messages. i just wondering how can i force the application to use snd-intel8x0? i use the applications to play WAV file store in /usr/share/sounds, they works! only other type of media files like audio cd, mp3 dun work :( (4)i also encounter once i run the redhat-config-soundcard, the following line of information will dump into the end of /etc/modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : i dun wan those line since i810_audio not compataible with my hardware although they are automatically detected. how can i solve the problem (1) (2) (3) (4). thank you very much! regards yan cheng -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
