Nvidia sound configuration

Hi everyone,

 

I've been using Mandriva for about 5 years now, so I consider myself pretty familiar with most things. However, I just switched to an Athlon 64 with an embedded nVidia audio device (MCP61V chipset, believe it is the regular n-Force audio). In MCC, under hardware, the device is listed as unknown. Here's the info:

 

Identification

Vendor: ?nVidia Corporation

Description: ?MCP61 High Definition Audio

Media class: ?NOT_DEFINED

Connection

Bus: ?PCI

Bus PCI #: ?0

PCI device #: ?5

PCI function #: ?0

Vendor ID: ?0x10de

Device ID: ?0x03f0

Sub vendor ID: ?0x1019

Sub device ID: ?0xa88d

Misc

Module: ?unknown

 

To further complicate issues, alsaconf won't load. It segfaults with this error:

/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 435: 3844 Segmentation fault $DIALOG --msgbox "$msg" 20 63

 

It's a clean install from a full 2007.0 Free disk set, and everything else is working great. Is there a way that I can force a module to load for the device. I imagine it uses the intel8x0 module (although I can't be certain), but without alsaconf, I have no clue how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi sparrish,

 

having no other clue I'd also try the intel8x0 module with nforce chipset based mainboards. You can try inserting modules using the old way manually, i.e. by executing the modprobe command as root. Once you've found the right one, put it in /etc/modprobe.conf for being loaded at boot time. See also "man modprobe" and "man modprobe.conf".

 

HTH,

Thanks for your help! After looking around a bit more, I think the correct module is snd-hda-intel. I can load it up with modprobe, but can't seem to get my modprobe.conf command right so that it is loaded at boot time. Could I trouble you for a little help on that? Thanks so much!

I'd first try to select the module snd-hda-intel from mcc. You should be able to select it in the hardware section/soundcards/Start configuration tool/driver. If that does not work, you could add the following to modprobe.conf:

 

install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe

 

Good luck!

Thanks again for your help. In MCC, it won't let me run the config tool as the card is listed under Unknown/Other rather than Soundcards. Tried adding that line to modprobe.conf, and after rebooting, it still wasn't showing up in lsmod. As a last ditch effort, I put it in module.preload, and it did load the module after that, but the card still wasn't recognized.

 

On a related note, I just realized today that IDE devices aren't being detected either, but the IDE controller appears to be configured properly. Worked okay during install, though.

 

Integrated NIC wouldn't configure either, so I through a PCI card in and got that to work okay, so I'm not terribly concerned about that. It looks like the kernel has all of the necessary modules, something just isn't gelling the way it should. In any case, if anyone has any more suggestions, it would be most appreciated.

Found some info on the Club forum that got me hooked up. The device is still listed as unknown in MCC, but it is working. Added this to /etc/modprobe.conf:

 

alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
