Re: soundcore modules problem (2.6.0-test1)

[Vijay Subramanian <vijaynarananan@yahoo.com>]

hi,

I have a ISAPNP Yamaha OPL3sa2  soundcard as detected by 2.4.18.

In 2.4, sndconfig detects this and asks for irq,dma settings.

with right settings , it would play a sample. It was a module in 2.4.

I have ALSA.

 

The reason I have so many drivers enabled is that I was trying to install soundcore.o into /lib/modules and was not sure what config options produced it.

(I saw sound_core.c but there is no soundcore.c)

(Further reading gave info on how kbuild now works .)

 

Thanks for the help.

I  think I tried compiling sound into the kernel but will check again.

Which soundcard are you using? Did it have native support in the 2.4
kernel or did you have to use ALSA? If you didn't have to use alsa,
then its likely that you will have to install the alsa utilities. For
redhat 9 you can download the RPM's at http://www.freshrpms.net/

Also, why have you compiled support for so many sound cards? Do you
actually have that many? If not then just choose the driver for the
one you have and try compiling it into the kernel image. That way
there will be no need to go looking for a module.
