I've been trying to fix ALSA support for older PowerMacs. Anyone experiencing problems - like missing or inoperative or wrongly directed controls in alsamixer - could you, please, test my patch and write the results into this list or directly to me? If you are still with me, check first with lsmod that you are using snd-powermac: $ lsmod | grep ^snd.powermac snd_powermac 56576 0 $ Then you will need to install make, C-compiler and kernel headers corresponding to your running kernel, f.ex (Ubuntu Dapper 6.06.1): $ sudo aptitude install make gcc linux-headers-2.6.15-26-powerpc and fetch the ALSA driver source code and my patch: $ wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2 $ wget http://ristosu.wippiespace.com/pub/alsa-driver-1.0.16-p4.diff Unpack the source and apply the patch: $ tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2 $ cd alsa-driver-1.0.16 $ patch -p0 < ../alsa-driver-1.0.16-p4.diff Finally configure: $ ./configure --disable-verbose-printk --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-powerpc --with-build=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-26-powerpc --with-moddir=/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-powerpc/updates/sound --with-isapnp=no --with-oss=yes --with-pcm-oss-plugins=yes --with-cards=powermac make and install: $ make $ sudo make install-modules To load the new modules without rebooting: $ sudo modprobe -r snd-powermac $ sudo modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss $ sudo modprobe snd-powermac Risto ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
