modules not automatically loaded + only have sound for WAV file (sound problem)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

(2)ok. i just ignore the problem 1 at this moment. i modprobe

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

(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
