I am having a problem getting audio functionality to stick in a
newly installed Etch system on a Dell precision 410 MT.
There was no sound device immediately after install, so I ran
alsaconf, selected:
legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips
told it to probe "cs4236 Cirrus Logic CS4235-9" then answered Y to
Do you want to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound
And I get
OK, sound driver is configured.
ALSA CONFIGURATOR will prepare the card for playing now.
Now I will load the ALSA sound driver and use
amixer to raise the default volumes.
This results in /etc/modprobe.d/sound containing:
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
options snd-cs4236 index=0 port=0x530 cport=0x538 isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
and /proc/asound contains:
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 card0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 cards
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2007-10-30 15:23 CS4237B -> card0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 devices
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 hwdep
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 modules
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 oss
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 pcm
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 seq
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 timers
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-10-30 15:23 version
Two problems...
1. after rebooting it is all gone and I have no sound again :(
I assume the modprobe.d/sound file should be causing sound to be configured
at boot time, but it appears not to be..
Any ideas what is going wrong or what I still need to do?
2. No /dev/dsp, so attempting to run esd for gnome fails...
Could it be anything to do with the /etc/modprobe.d entry:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2007-10-27 21:42 linux-sound-base_noOSS ->
/lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf
Thanks,
