Guest gaaslight Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) I downloaded the ALSA Open Source Audio Driver Package Version 1.0.9b for the Intel audio controllers [AUDIO_1.3.1_MN2006.TAR.GZ] from Intel for my Desktop Board D101GGC, but it will only work with the 2.6.12-12mdk kernel. Is there a way I can make it work for my Mandriva Linux Free x86-64 installation? Edited August 1, 2006 by gaaslight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Are you sure you need to use this one? Can't you use alsa from the urpmi repositories? What's the output of this command: rpm -qa | grep alsa so that we can see what you've currently got installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) What kind of Intel soundcard? If it's Intel HD audio (standard on most modern laptops), with firmware by "someone" (Realtek, Azalia, etc) then the absolute minumum you should compile to get it working is alsa 1.0.10 RC2. Mandriva had the "guts" to include a prebeta xorg in 2006 to catchup with Intel laptop chipsets, but they still included alsa "stable" 1.0.9, which is pretty inexplicable: What's the use of having a modern laptop running a so-so GUI (on prebeta code) and having no sound? :P EDIT: just saw that your board uses Realtek ALC861 audio codec, and so you DO need alsa 1.0.10 RC2 or newer.

ianw1974 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 This is what I've got installed: [ian@europa ~]$ rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-utils-1.0.9-4mdk libalsa2-1.0.9-1mdk libalsa-data-1.0.9-1mdk alsaconf-1.0.9-4mdk libalsa2-devel-1.0.9-1mdk you have 64 bit on your system, so assume you're running 64 bit system, so that'll explain why some versions aren't quite the same as mine. However, you seem to be missing "alsaconf". Try: urpmi alsaconf and then when it's installed, run alsaconf to configure your card: alsaconf and you'll probably need to choose intel8x0 for the soundcard - it should automatically detect that anyway, just continue through, and then when done, reboot, and see if you've got sound. If not, run kmix or similar, and unmute all the channels because alsaconf tends to mute everything. And then see how you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) thank you. so where do I find alsa 1.0.10 RC2 or newer? http://www.alsa-project.org/ is a good place to get what you like, of course. If installing from non-RPM isn't your cup of tea, then you can try either getting the src.rpm alsa packages from Cooker and building your own RPM's ( using the command "rpm --rebuild alsa*.src.rpm" ), or using the ready binaries from the Thac repository (they are from alsa 1.0.11 code).

scarecrow Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Lexicon, please STOP. You're spreading FUD. snd-hda-intel has no less than nine different model configs supported, so telling someone putting in options "z71v" is pretty irresponsible. Add to that the fact it will definitely NOT work with his current ALSA 1.0.9x binaries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
