Re: [PLUG] back to laptop sound configuration
|
I know this might not be the answer you're looking for, but I usually don't waste too much time trying to configure sound under Linux. For a reasonable price you can just purchase very solid working drivers from www.opensound.com Especially with laptops where you can't just swap in a new soundcard I think it is worth the $20-35 to avoid the hassle plus they support things not in the free OSS...I have a NeoMagic chip in my Dell that had horrible support when I installed Linux, it may be better now though but I've been really happy w/ the non-free driver.
>From their site...
The price of the OSS drivers includes the following services:
Unlimited FREE technical support for 1 year.
Unlimited FREE upgrades to newer versions of OSS for 2 years.
Free upgrades when you install a newer kernel
Free upgrades when there's a newer version of OSS

Well - I'm back to trying to get sound on my old laptop I believe I need
the opl3sa2 module for my Yamaha soundcard. The farthest I get is
repeating a half-second of any sound.
Anything else I can try?
-john
I picked IRQ 7 but any other IRQ doesn't seem to work any better:
# cat interrupts |grep Sound
7: 2 XT-PIC MS Sound System
# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
opl3sa2 7392 0 (autoclean)
ad1848 18176 0 [opl3sa2]
mpu401 18688 0 [opl3sa2]
sound 52620 0 [opl3sa2 ad1848 mpu401]
#cat devices|grep sound
14 sound
>From modules.conf:
options adlib_card io=0x388
alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
options sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 dma=1 dma2=0 mpu_io=0x330 io=0x370
