Mordauk Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) mod note: moved to other linux distributions by tyme First of all. Hello alll!! I'm not a Mandrake user. But someone told me to try getting help here. I'm running gentoo linux, with a 2.4.22 kernel. And I'm trying to get sound working. But I don't have a clue how to go about it. A guy helped me get it working, but did not make the alias to make it start on reboot. So I need someone to tell me how to do it :) Edited March 22, 2004 by tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 you need to find out what module you loaded for your sound card then in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.2 add in the module name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I think you mean: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phunni Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 have you tried starting alsasound? i.e. /etc/init.d/alsasound start? You will also need to add this to the boot runlevel - this is in the docs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordauk Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) Yes I have. And it gave me somthing like: WARNING: alsa is already running. You will also need to add this to the boot runlevel - this is in the docs What now? Edited March 22, 2004 by Mordauk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
