viaudiocombo-2.3-1 problems (AC97)

[Metalhead]

Hi Guys,

I've downloaded viaudiocombo-2.3-1.src.rpm and tried to install it according to the readme-file. Therefore I have to rebuild it with "rpm --rebuild viaudiocombo-2.3-1.src.rpm". Trying this I get the message, that the following directory is inexistent: /usr/lib/rmp/rmpb. When making /rmpb by hand, I get the message "Permission denied". I'm logged on als root and I do have the kernel-Source installed.

If anyone could help me, I would be very glad. Thank you very much.

Welcome to the board!

 

rpmbuild --rebuild

is the newer correct way.

 

What's the output of

rpm -qa | grep rpm

 

Oh btw, you know there are drivers already included for via, no? Are you just playing with the latest? I've read that the combo drivers are better but never tried them myself.

Thanks for the quick answer bvc,

I didn't know that there are already drivers included, it's just that the soundcard isn't found under hardware (maybe because it's on-board) and I thought drivers would help...

 

The output of rpm -qa | grep rpm:

rpmtools-4.5-9mdk

urpmi-4.2-33mdk

grpmi-9.1-13mdk

rpm-helper-0.9-1mdk

rpm-4.0.4-28mdk

gurpmi-4.2-33mdk

 

Thanks for your help

install rpm-build with;

urpmi rpm-build

and try again.

 

What soundcard, exactly? Mine is onboard, though currently disabled in the bios, as I use my sb 16 pci.

 

What is the output of;

lspci -vv

The oss driver for this card and other via's is via82cxxx_audio

the alsa driver for this card and other via's is snd-via82xx, you can find it in

/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/sound or where the alsa drivers are....they start with snd-xxxxxxx

 

What does;

lsmod

show?

I'm seemingly not able to handle urpmi correctly, I tried to install the source with "urpmi --install-src (File)", which seemed to do somethin (####...), but I didn't find the binaries where they should be (according to readme).

 

When using ispci -vv I simply get command not found. The same with ismod.

 

You see, I'm very new to Linux and I don't even know most of the shell-commands, so it's probabely all my fault.

 

Thanks

[bvc]

:D but you're trying rt? That's what matters. I've never even attempted to use urpmi for a src pkg. Never heard of anyone else doing it either.

 

it's

lspci

with a lower case L not I (l not i)

 

ls as in list (list pci devices)

SEE:man lspci

 

same with

lsmod

list modules

Man, I must seem quite stupid to you, I should have seen that for myself, shouldn't I?

So, here comes what I have found, can't say that I do understand very much of it.

This is appearently not the same PCI-Bridge like yours.

 

Hope you can figure out something. Thanks.
