newbie question:re sound

[Faust]

I would appreciate some help on a problem Ive been having with sound - sometimes my computer will boot up with no sound support and I have to set up my sound from the terminal.  I think it would be fairly easy to shove a few lines into my boot up to  get sound working but I dont know how.  Below is the procedure I follow to ge sound working:
(stuff that I do is indented by an asterix *)

*su root

*draksound

*set driver to:snd-intel8x0 (intel 82801AA, 82901AB, i810, i820, i830, i840, MX440, SiS 7012)

i810 audio evice or resource busy
starting alsa version 0.9.0rc2 intel8x0) [OK]
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz:init module:no such device
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
modprobe:insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz failed
modprobe:insmod snd-intel8x0 failed
insmoding module snd-intel8x0 failed at /usr/lib/libDrakX/modules.pm line 55

*draksound

*set driver to:i810_audio (intel 810 audio support)

shutting down alsa sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2):no (sound is being used by pid xxxx)
rmod:module snd-intel8x0 is not loaded

*kill xxxx

*draksound

*set driver to:snd-intel8x0 (intel 82801AA, 82901AB, i810, i820, i830, i840, MX440, SiS 7012)

alsa driver (version 0.9.0rc2) is already running

#(there is still no sound at this stage, but applications which will not start with no sound drivers will run)

*draksound

*set driver to:i810_audio (intel 810 audio support)

shutting down alsa sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2):[OK]
rmod:module snd-intel8x0 is not loaded
loading sound module (i810_audio) [OK]

#(sound now works perfectly)

I have no idea why the        smilies are in the above post...   :confused:    :confused:    :confused:  

cat /proc/pci gives:
   bus 0, device 31, function 5
   multimedia audio controller:intel corp 82801BA/BAM AC97 audio (rev 5)
   IRQ 10
   I/O at 0xe000 [0xeOff]
   I/O at 0xf000 [0xf03f]

The output from dmesg is pretty long so i wont post it unless someone asks me to...

[choasforages]

ok, just stick this in /etc/modules.conf

Code: [Select]

[choasforages]

and remember to run alsamixer after each boot, i don't know how to set up autoloading of mixer settings though.

[Faust]

thanks choasforages! 8-)
doing it now...

  :confused:    :confused:    :confused:  
alsamixer?
changing /etc/modules.comf didnt work... 8-(

[choasforages]

try modprobing each of those and see what it does

modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

do anything?

[Faust]

All of the modprobes give absolutely no output... they just run and then i get a command prompt back, EXCEPT for modprobe snd-intel8x0 which gives the following -

/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz: init_module:no such device
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
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed

[Faust]

also when i run alsamixer i get -

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device

[choasforages]

after the modprobing failing what does

dmesg

tell us happend
i don't know much after that

[Faust]

dmesg output is as follows -

hmmm, when trying the modprobeing was any of the modules already loaded. and easy way to tell is

cat /proc/modules
try before messing with draksound or the modprobe, and after the draksound try it agian.
anybody else have this problem? anybody ever messed with a  i8* soundsystem. im about at faust as the newbie on this one

[Faust]

theres no difference in the output of cat /proc/modules from before I get the sound working till after I get the sound working

That is because UBB 'picks out' smiles from the pieces of code that you provide us. If it contains any line of text that you would normally use to post a Graemlin, such as :p, , and , it will change that text to one.

Best thing is, just like I did, to disable smiles in your post when you post pieces of code, or put it between

tags.

thanks wuck... should have spotted it coming from the abundance of colons in that post... ty!
