caddyman379 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Ok, I installed the alas drivers for my Aureal AU8810 soundcard, everything compiled correctly, but i have no idea what to add to modules.conf. i read the docs for it and it didnt seem to say anywhere. thanks, richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Could you tell us how you compiled and installed please? Tarballs? rpms? Rebuild sources? I'm asking because an rpm file should do everything for you. If it doesn't, the readme for the file should tell what else needs to be done. Actually, a "make install" will usually do everything too.

caddyman379 Posted December 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yes Im sorry, I installed it from a tarball, I ran make then make install. The instructions say to add it too modules.conf.. But it didnt say how exactly i do that.. Anyway, when i just started my machine up now it said loading midi... and said something about this was compiled using gcc 2 and its being comiled using gcc3 this is known not to work. qoute. what does that mean? i compiled the drivers on gcc3...

phunni Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Thye drivers for the aureal soundcard are part pre-compiled binary and this is why you are gettign the gcc error It is likely that this won't work I'm afraid. Apparently, the aureal soundcards are supported in the latest version of Alsa - you could try and explore that. To answer your question though, you need to find out the name of the module (it shoul say this in the docs. You can then check if it works by running modprobe <module-name> replacing <module-name> with the name of your module. If that works then you simply add the name of the module at the end of modules.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
