ral Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Sound setup will detect the right chipset (7012/7018) but sound will still not work. Browse to /etc/modules.conf and you will see the line: alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel-8x0 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx The xxxx is an entry detailing out the rest of the sound configuration. Comment out both these lines and add a new entry: # alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel-8x0 # xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx alias sound i810audio Sound will now work. Commenting out basically makes the system not read the lines. It is safer to comment out than delete in case you want to revert to your prior configuration.

DragonMage Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 I think that tip is only for SIS 7012 chipset only. I have a SIS 7018 chipset audio and it uses snd-trident module instead of i810audio module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted January 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Sorry about that. You could be right. I actually only tried this on a 7012, altough the instructions are used to get the 7012 working were written for the 7018 chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phat Penguin Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 I was given an old P4 1.7 celeron PC the other day ..... the only thing really salvagable was the chip, 512mb RAM and case .... so dropped in a cheap ECS all-onboard mainboard and fired it up .... no sound !! SiS7012 you guessed it ... well dropped in Harddrake (9.1) and did a detect on the spec's mentioned here and all is well and noisy !!! If I ran sndconfig I too was getting the "No support yet" info .... wrong !!! .... have the noise to prove it. For those running 9.1 just go to Harddrake and select the "snd-card-intel-8x0" option for the 7012 sound card and let the computer do the rest.... Thanks guys, this site rocks.

DragonMage Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 I think sndconfig is so antiquated right now, it's only good for older ISA based sound cards. I never use sndconfig since RedHat 6.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
