RyanWw Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Hello, I have been trying to get my sound card working for the past 48 hours. I have had a member named devries helping me along. Unfortunatly he had to go. He gave me this link http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@list...t/msg13884.html but not info on how to remove those files. I hope this is in the right forum because I figured that removing the files would be software related. I am a complete newbie to linux and i'm trying to learn. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

scoopy Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 what files are we trying to delete? Guessing you installed something and want to remove this, but it will depend on what type of file you installed. Is it from the "Install Software" program, was it a RPM, or was it from source? Or maybe its something else your trying to remove ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) The two modules above are OSS modules, you have to remove them. rm -f ?????? or rmmod ???????? I don't know which they meant. Modules should never be deleted. You could mv (move/rename them I guess, which I have done to stop the loading of unwanted modules). I believe that was the intent of the poster on the mailing list however it's not the first choice. The question is, why are oss and alsa modules being loaded. Config is wrong, IF this is the case however I'd bet this user was trying to manually get the alsa modules loaded with modporbe w/o rmmod'ing the oss. If this is ML-10 post the contents of your /etc/modprobe.conf file and also the output from a terminal of the command lsmod Edited August 25, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanWw Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Ok I will post the contents in a few moments. Im in Winxp right now so. Unfortunatly I already deleted the files. If you look at my last post of my other topic, it says which files I had deleted. Is there a way to get it back if I need it? If I don't hear a response from you soon, I will go ahead and start a new topic in Hardware. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanWw Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Back in mandrake now. I tried to do the /etc/modprobe.conf but it says permission denied. (using normal and root both say the same thing). I did do a lsmod though: Module Size Used by md5 3872 1 ipv6 232352 6 sg 38044 0 st 38616 0 sr_mod 17028 0 sd_mod 16832 0 scsi_mod 114648 4 sg,st,sr_mod,sd_mod radeon 127008 20 ppp_synctty 8832 0 ppp_async 11744 1 ppp_generic 29552 6 ppp_synctty,ppp_async slhc 7200 1 ppp_generic snd-seq-oss 31232 0 snd-seq-midi-event 7552 1 snd-seq-oss snd-seq 51024 4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event snd-pcm-oss 51812 0 snd-mixer-oss 17952 1 snd-pcm-oss snd-via82xx 24128 0 snd-pcm 93156 2 snd-pcm-oss,snd-via82xx snd-timer 24484 2 snd-seq,snd-pcm snd-ac97-codec 58148 1 snd-via82xx gameport 4480 1 snd-via82xx snd-page-alloc 11972 2 snd-via82xx,snd-pcm snd-mpu401-uart 7072 1 snd-via82xx snd-rawmidi 23616 1 snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-device 8008 3 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-rawmidi snd 52484 12 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event,snd-seq,snd-pcm-oss,snd-mixer-oss,snd-via82xx,snd-pcm,snd-timer,snd-ac97-codec, snd-mpu401-uart,snd-rawmidi,snd-seq-device soundcore 9248 1 snd af_packet 20520 6 raw 7616 1 ide-floppy 18752 0 ide-tape 34864 0 ide-cd 40548 0 cdrom 37184 2 sr_mod,ide-cd floppy 59444 0 via-rhine 20520 0 mii 4992 1 via-rhine nls_iso8859-1 3904 2 ntfs 85932 2 supermount 37876 1 tsdev 7168 0 via-agp 7360 1 agpgart 31016 2 via-agp usbkbd 6912 0 joydev 10240 0 evdev 9504 0 usbmouse 5216 0 hid 53312 0 ehci-hcd 24196 0 uhci-hcd 29104 0 usbcore 99132 7 usbkbd,usbmouse,hid,ehci-hcd,uhci-hcd rtc 11576 0 The name of the driver I set it to using harddrake is snd-via82xx. It says that snd-via82xx is an alsa driver. Whereas, the Via82cxxx_audio is OSS. Using the troubleshooter in the config tool in harddrake I found what the default driver for my sound card is. Which is snd-via82xx. It would be great if you could resolve this problem for me. One question though, was devries on the right path to solving my issue? Thanks very much.

RyanWw Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I tried to open up modprobe.conf without using the konsole and I got this in KWrite: alias eth0 via-rhine alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx options snd-via82xx enable=1 install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-via82xx && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true remove snd-via82xx { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-via82xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 well, if you are sure you are not muted and the volume is up the only other thing I can think of is to change your settings in the kde control center (assuming you are in kde). Tell it to use alsa. I can't really tell ya how and what becasue i use gnome and it's been a long time since I've used the onboard in kde. I have the same onboard sound but have it disable in the bios and use a soundblaster, but I'm pretty sure you tell kde to use the alsa sound server.

RyanWw Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) I don't know if it's muted or not. I can't open the alsamixergui. The sound works fine in XP though so I know it's not the sound card. I have went into the setting in the Control Center and ive changed it to alsa a while ago, it didn't have an effect.

papaschtroumpf Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) can you open alsamixer (instead of alsamixergui)? Edited August 25, 2004 by papaschtroumpf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
