sound card found, but not loaded..

I'm trying to help a friend get their audio working, and have never had any audio probs of my own, so this is new to me..

What I've found is that the syslog tells us Linux recognizes the soundchip.'

kernel: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...

kernel: isapnp: Card 'OPTi Audio 16'

Checking my own syslog (on a machine with functioning audio), I noticed that following the recognition of the sound chip, it seems to "load" it.

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-2

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-3

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-4

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-5

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-6

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-7

aumix: vol set to 81, 81, P

aumix: bass set to 50, 50

aumix: treble set to 50, 50

aumix: pcm set to 81, 81

aumix: speaker set to 0, 0

aumix: line set to 0, 0, P

aumix: mic set to 0, 0, R

aumix: cd set to 81, 81, P

aumix: igain set to 0, 0

aumix: line1 set to 0, 0, P

aumix: phin set to 0, 0, P

aumix: video set to 0, 0, P

I do wonder about the "Can't locate..." lines on my own, but that's not the major issue here. The major issue is that I see nothing like that whatsoever in their syslog.

I'm sure I need to determine if a driver is installed, and if a /dev has been created, but I just don't know what to look for. Help is always appreciated!! :P

hokay, here is from my machine..

alias eth0 3c59x

above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1

probeall usb-interface usb-ohci

alias eth1 3c59x

...and from theirs.

probeall usb-interface usb-uhci

alias eth0 3c59x

..so..? the module wasn't loaded? this is a grey area for me.

Their modules.conf doesn't have any entry to tell modprobe to load the sound modules.

 

submit a search in google-groups with their card name plus "modules.conf" and you'll get a bunch of examples to make it work

For your own problem, you can try to add to your modules.conf something like this:

 

alias snd-card-1 off

alias snd-card-2 off

alias snd-card-3 off

...

alias snd-card-7 off

 

that would avoid those weird error logs.

 

I believe that there should be a more elegant way, but acordingly to modules.conf the above should work.

 

Maybe you might want to look for something a bit more elegant as:

alias snd-card-[1-7] off (*)

 

(*) doesn't work, but there should be something similar ;)
