hi. i recently upgraded my old computer to a nice new Intel D845GEBV2 motherboard, with everything integrated. turns out this wasn't such a good idea because the linux driver for the video section is very buggy, so i ended up buying a video card. no great worries. my problem now is the sound: i get no sound out of the system. if i try to control sound (e.g. with the gnome-volume-control) i get: I was not able to open your audio device. Please check that you have permissions to open /dev/mixer and make sure that you have sound support compiled into your kernel here are my mixer permissions: $ ls -l /dev/mixer crw-rw-rw- 1 michael root 14, 0 Aug 30 16:31 /dev/mixer now these were originally 600, but no difference after i changed them. i also see in my kernel messages: Feb 10 17:20:19 dhcppc4 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: init_module: No such device Feb 10 17:20:19 dhcppc4 insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg Feb 10 17:20:19 dhcppc4 insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Feb 10 17:20:19 dhcppc4 kernel: i810_audio: Codec not ready.. wait.. no response.

Feb 10 17:20:19 dhcppc4 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3 (i think that since the 845 chipset is built on the 810 chipset, many of the drivers are for the 810 chipset.) so i checked out my modules: # ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30572 Sep 4 10:47 /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o although sound-slot-0 is missing, but that's the second message, so i'm not sure if that's the main problem. and # cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 eepro100 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio 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 || : alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci and dmesg says: Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.22, 13:45:06 Sep 4 2002 PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:1f.5 PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 00:1f.3 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 i810: Intel ICH4 found at IO 0xe080 and 0xe400, IRQ 3 i810_audio: Codec not ready.. wait.. no response. i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode. i810_audio: Primary codec not ready. i'm not quite sure what next to try - any suggestions? thanks, michael -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
