Guest SDMF Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 I installed the updated emu10k1 drivers and added the emu-script to my modules.conf so that I would be able to adjust tone settings through the equalizer. It's been working, however since then ALSA refuses to load. Here is my modules.conf probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too alias sound emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script I know that the ALSA driver is snd-emu10k1, but when I change it to that in the modules.conf, I lose tone controls. There has to be a way to adjust bass/treble with ALSA, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 What version of mandrake are u using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 9.0 (It's in my signature :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 The ALSA that comes with mdk-9.0 is quite buggy (0.9rc2/3). Have u tried installing the latest ALSA from http://www.alsa-project.org/ ? All u need to do is install the alsa-driver package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 No I have not, will do that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I installed the new version of the alsa-driver. I went into the MCC under System -> Services to see if it was running, and it said it was not. There was a new service in the list, however, called alsasound, and it is running. When I clicked Start to try to start up ALSA, I got a message saying "ALSA driver is not running". Now, I don't know if this has to do with the stuff that is in my modules.conf, or not. The reason I have it the way I have it now is so that I can adjust bass and treble through the mixer, which I could not do before I recompiled the emu10k1 drivers with sequencer support.

When I clicked Start to try to start up ALSA, I got a message saying "ALSA driver is not running".MCC is a really crappy and buggy software. Never trust it. I had the opposite experience in which it claimed to have started the alsa daemon when I had none installed !! Now, I don't know if this has to do with the stuff that is in my modules.conf, or not.Obviously, since ur modules.conf was originally set to use the OSS drivers, u need to change it. What does modules.conf look like currently ? The reason I have it the way I have it now is so that I can adjust bass and treble through the mixer, which I could not do before I recompiled the emu10k1 drivers with sequencer support. U should configure alsa drivers with these options --enable-verbose-printk --with-debug=full --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-isapnp=no Did u install ur latest ALSA drivers in /lib/modules/`uname -r` ?

Guest SDMF Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I didn't know that you had to enable it when you compiled the ALSA drivers. I am recompiling with those options enabled. My modules.conf is the same as in the beginning of the thread, I have not changed it since then. Obviously, once I recompile I will change the lines to reflect the ALSA module. I don't know what you mean by `uname -r`. The only subdirectory/file/etc. in /lib/modules is a directory with the same name as my kernel version. I will post back after I'm done compiling and trying out the ALSA driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SDMF Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Well, I don't know exactly if they were installed there or not, I saw my kernel version come across the terminal window several times after I typed make install. After reinstalling ALSA, compiled with the options you suggested, I edited the modules.conf to look like the following: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too alias sound snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 #post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script Then I rebooted. During bootup I saw that it said it was loading ALSA, as expected. But now, even though I configured it with sequencer support, it is not adjusting bass and treble.

Guest ndeb Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Comment out the line alias sound snd-emu10k1 since it is not needed. Add the line above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss . Save ur modules.conf. Then, run this command (as root): /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa restart Now, run a mixer program (aumix, kmix, ...) to get non-zero settings.

Guest SDMF Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Did that, ALSA driver is now running, again no control over bass/treble. The sliders are there in aumix, and I can adjust the bass/treble levels in the mixer, but it doesn't do anything to change the bass/treble. It's like they're there for nothing. Here is my current modules.conf: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too #alias sound emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss #post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 What is ur sound card ? Go to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and click on the details for ur particular card (Creative ??). See if u find this in the list of known bugs and any work-arounds. Also, did the OSS driver (emu10k1) have this problem too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 What is ur sound card ? Go to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and click on the details Originally there were no tone controls, but after I comiled the emu10k1 drivers with sequencer support, they worked fine. I'll check the alsa-project page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
