MrMorden Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Hello, people: I just compiled and installed the 2.6.10 kernel with the nitro patch...and now sound isn't working. When I went to Services in MCC to try and start ALSA from there, it says that the service is indeed stopped. When I try to start it, I get: Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...[OK] Shutting down ALSA sound driver(version 1.0.8rc2):Fatal: Modules snd-seq-oss not found FATAL: Module snd-pcm-oss not found FATAL: Module snd-mixer-oss not found [OK] grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory ALSA driver (version 1.0.8rc2) is already running grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory grep: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory I used /sbin/lsmod to find onle one module loaded (?!), nvidia_agp I tried searching for snd-seq-oss, and I found a file named /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.o I tried typing modprobe snd-seq-oss with no luck. So I tried to pull up ALSA mixer, which says that a dummy card is being used. So then I pulled up KMix. The KMix speaker icon appears grayed out, instead of its usual green. KMix seems to know about both the dummy card and my normal Nforce2 card. Switching between the two cards in KMix has no effect. I thought it might be a matter of telling ALSA which card to use. So I went to google.com/linux and tried the following search strings: how to set NForce2 card alsa how to set dummy card alsa With no luck. I can still boot into my old kernel and get all the functionality back, but I have no clue what's causing my current configuration to break. Anyone have any useful insight? Thank you. Update: I found that Kmix was grayed out because it was muted. So I unmuted it. Still no sound. Edit: Kmix, not Dmix Edited June 29, 2005 by MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Looks like you didn't build/install the alsa modules. If you do not know what all the kernel options mean best is to use an existing config (the Mandriva one :) ). So type: make xconfig, click open, browse to /boot and select the Mandriva kernel config. Now edit only the parts that you understand. Type: make && make modules_install && make install. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
