Hi, I?m trying to get an FM801 to work on FC3. It didn't work on FC1 in this system and I was hoping that an upgrade to FC3 would get it going. I have seen a web page about the FM801 but I?m stuck getting it to make any sound. ? lspci shows ~(among other things...) ? 00:12.0 Multimedia audio controller: Fortemedia, Inc Xwave QS3000A [FM801] (rev b2) ? lsmod shows (among other things)... ? snd_seq_midi?????????? 12769? 0 snd_seq_midi_event???? 11713? 1 snd_seq_midi snd_opl3_synth???????? 19269? 0 snd_seq_instr????????? 12097? 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq_midi_emul????? 11201? 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_ainstr_fm?????????? 6465? 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq??????????????? 54609? 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq_instr,snd_seq_midi_em ul fm801_gp??????????????? 7745 ?0 gameport?????????????? 19785? 2 fm801_gp snd_fm801????????????? 21765? 2 snd_tea575x_tuner?????? 7873? 1 snd_fm801 videodev?????????????? 13505? 1 snd_tea575x_tuner snd_ac97_codec???????? 77497? 1 snd_fm801 snd_pcm_oss??????????? 53745? 0 snd_mixer_oss ?????????21697? 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm??????????????? 91845? 3 snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc???????? 13765? 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib?????????? 14401? 2 snd_opl3_synth,snd_fm801 snd_timer????????????? 28357? 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep????????????? 12897? 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_mpu401_uart??????? 11457? 1 snd_fm801 snd_rawmidi??????????? 28641? 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device???????? 12493? 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd??????????????????? 58405? 15 snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,sn d_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_d evice soundcore????????????? 13217? 2 snd ? ? So I guess that means the system has found the hardware and the drivers are loading. ? I have unmuted and maxed out all the faders in alsamixer. I can hear a slight tick in the output when I mute and unmute the mic channel and some of the other channels so there is some sign of life. ? But I cant get the thing to play any sound files. ? aplay bigfile.wav results in silence. The Gnome sound tester does not play a sound file. Audacity crashes on playing a file. So something is not right. I noticed some *oss modules loaded is that good or bad? ? Is there something I need to do to tell applications to direct their sound to this device??? ? A direct copy of a wav file to /dev/dsp, which I think should make a noise, doesn?t. Or is there another way to copy data directly to the device as a test. ? I know sound works in Linux because I have another system with an SBLive that works. (Sorry that just reflects my frustration with getting this working) So what have I missed???? Does any one here have an FM801 based card working with FC3 who can offer me some guidance ? Any help most welcome.. ? ? Ken ? ? ? ? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
