sound onboard

[Guest scottietohottie]

hey

 

I am doing rubbish with this new setup i keep hitting dead ends

I have problems with loads of my hardware and i bet its not even a problem i bet im just a stupid head.

I now have problems with my onboard sound and my lucent Winmodem

what do i need to do

 

I have a HP server model KAYAK with dual pentium 266 and im not sure what sound is on it the manual i downloaded said that a sound and midi driver were there. Well saying that i just looked over it and it says

 

Audio chip (AD1816) is integrated on the system board.

 

Can I configure or am I going to have to just put in a sound card.

 

With the Lucent thing the company has changed names there are about twenty five thousand entries oin how to set it up (i know its and exageration) and i cannot find one that works.

the fix i have come across quite often is one that say's to down load a driver thingy called

 

ltmodem-2.6.3-4mdk.tgz

 

then extract them to /lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/other

 

then type in the command

 

mknod --mode=0640 /dev/ttyLT0 b 62 64

depmod -a

modprobe ltserial

ln -vs /dev/ttySLT0 /dev/modem

 

then it goes on more but when i do it i get to the modprobe bit and it says failed

 

ahhhh

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/l...6/mdk-2.6.3.txt I suppose you are using this HOWTO...

 

Make sure you have the ltmodem folder and both *.ko files before you do depmod-a(e) and modprobe itserial. Then try again.

 

(PS drivers=modules)

 

The AD1816 should be supported (SND_AD1816A is the module name). Try the MCC to set it up (hardware-->hardware-->soundcard and then config)

 

Good luck

Hello

 

OK tried the modem thing and heres what i got out of it

 

 

[root@localhost root]# cp /home/scott/tmp/ltmodem-2.6.3-4mdk.tgz /root/

[root@localhost /]# modprobe ltserial

FATAL: Module ltserial not found.

[root@localhost /]# ls -l /dev/tts/LT0 /dev/ttySLT0 /dev/modem

ls: /dev/tts/LT0: No such file or directory

ls: /dev/ttySLT0: No such file or directory

ls: /dev/modem: No such file or directory

[root@localhost /]#

 

 

So what did I do wrong really not getting it

 

And

 

With the on board sound i have no item to configure I have a feeling i may need to install some packages as under the multimedia thingy i only have graphics applications. Does this matter or do I need to install some stuff????????

 

Well its all fun and games

until someone gets hurt and i think that i mite have been a little harsh on the emoticons above. Ah well, it looks funny though!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the link above it was one i hadn't found.

 

Cheers

Why did you copy the tar to your /root dir???

Create a directory for your tar within your normal user /home dir:

mkdir name

Move the tar to that new folder

Then cd over to the tar file.

Then do:

tar zxvf ltmodem-2.6.3-4mdk.tgz

The tar will then extract and create a new folder

cd over to the newly created folder

It's a good idea to read the README file, as it will tell you how to instal it, but the usual way is:

./configure

This will configure the tar, then do:

make

You'll see some more gibberish, then su to root and do:

make install

[Guest scottietohottie]

I bet i am doing this all wrong and i am sorry if i seem thick cause thats what it seems like.

The reaason icopied it to the root dir is because I thought it told you to.

it says

 

Login as

# su - root

Copy the Attached ltmodem-2.6.3-4mdk.tgz into your Linux /root/folder

Change direcetory to your / dir

# cd /

Check with

# ls

 

So I tried as above but got the following reply from my machine

 

[scott@localhost scott]$ cd /

[scott@localhost /]$ su

[root@localhost root]# ls

lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/ltmodem/ltserial.ko

[root@localhost other]# ls

etc/ lib/ ltmodem-2.6.3-4mdk.tgz*

 

I think that this is where i may be going wrong?

 

[root@localhost other]# ./configure

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

[root@localhost other]# /configure

bash: /configure: No such file or directory

[root@localhost other]# configure

bash: configure: command not found

[root@localhost other]# make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

[root@localhost other]# make install

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

[root@localhost other]#

 

Or may be I am just reading this all wrong

sorry I just aint getting it

OK I see now. When you extracted the tar, it created 2 folders, etc/ and lib/

 

According to the installation instructions, it should tell you which folder you have to cd into to run those commands. cd to whichever folder /etc or /lib which ever it tells you to go into and install. Good Luck.

 

Note: Going over this again, I see you got as far as extracting them before. I just couldn't see it with all the things you posted.

What's going wrong is that modprobe can't find the modules (*.ko). Have you really checked these 2 files are there? (Depmod -a updates the module 'database' so modprobe can install the new modemdrivers))

 

Best is to begin anew. Delete all the files from the previous installation. Do as you did before, check if you have the ko files, depmod -a, and modprobe itserial.

 

If it doesn't work check your kernel version. If it isn't a the standard mandrake version maybe you should then compile the modules yourself.

Look here for information.

 

Euh the soundcard isn't under multimedia, it's under hardware in the MCC. A strange decision by Mandrake :)

[Guest scottietohottie]

Hi ya

 

right the help document thigy says :

 

# ls /etc/devfs/conf.d/modem.conf

Should you have a file /etc/devfs/conf.d/modem.conf move it to /root/

# mv /etc/devfs/conf.d/modem.conf /root/

as it is for a controller modem type, and will conflict with winmodems.

 

**************************************************

Inform the System about the changes with:

# killall -HUP devfsd

# depmod -a

Afterward

****************************************************

# modprobe ltserial

Should load the driver pair creat modem ports and symbolic links. Check with

# ls -l /dev/tts/LT0 /dev/ttySLTO /dev/modem

# lsmod | grep lt

 

it doesn't tell a drive to be in other than to move the modem.conf to the root/folder then it tells me to start doing stuff from there.

 

i have run it from the folder containing the files the root the folder i started in. Im lost i bet it is somthing really simple and you are all looking at this shouting its simple just do this.

I put the stars in the palce where i got to. ichecked the file were there and they are. I did the depmod thing and it looked good then after the stars it says :

 

FATAL: Module ltserial not found.

 

Sorry

 

I just am not getting it. i followed the help thingy by the word and it sti9ll didn't work. could it be that it needs some pacakges from the installation disk's which i have forgoten as i cannot see where i am going wrong.

 

I think that that mite be the case with the sound as well. Cause when i said i have no entries in the multimedia bit i mean't there are no sound packages so does that mean that i mite need to install some for the sake of drivers. i have checked in harddrake in MCC but i have no listing for any sound card so i cannot configure as it ain't there. plus it doesn't auto find it.

 

does this make any sense

 

And really sorry for posting loads of crap with the links it just makes me s=mile as i am starting feel really stupid. I know when it works i will be cursign myself for not getting it.

 

Thanks for all the help so far
