Hello ! I am sending this again because it seems to be that anybody WANTS to help me with this issue. I have just downloaded and installed the 2.4.18 kernel form mantel's download area. It is working fine but I got some problems with my multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10). In fact it was detected by yast2 but it sad something about cold not load (modprobe) the module ... The problem is that if I am going to manualy modprobe cmpci module ... everithing is fine. So I remmoved everything regarding yast2 and sound in /etc/modules.conf and put a line as: alias char-major-14 cmpci, depmod -a and reboot ... After reboot lsmod doesn't say nothing about cmpci module. What did I do wrong ??? If I manualy load cmpci module before entering kde2 ... everything is fine and I can hear the beautifull sound of arts server. Now ... I found e resolution to this pb. by making a startup script located in init.d ... just simply modrobe cmpci module. The real pb. is that I want alsa to do that for me. This pb. is important to me simply for the fact that I want to by SuSE Pro 8.0 and I want to be sure that I am not gonna have problems !!! Thanks.
Hi, I think that this is a generic module loading problem. I know nothing about the C-Media hardware and was about to delete this email when I spotted the "After reboot lsmod..." and thought that it might be related to problems that I had with USB modules. If you would like a module to be loaded at boot time, then edit the /etc/rc.config file, either using YAST1 or 2 or as root in your favourite editor. Alter the "INITRD_MODULES=" line to include your cmpci module. So if the line was: INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs" it will now read: INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs cmpci" Afterwards you have to run the command mk_initrd as root. If you also use lilo to boot the system you must run the command: lilo again as root. After you have rebooted, you _should_ fine lsmod reporting the cmpci module in the loaded list. I hope that this is the problem solved. Peter On Sunday 14 April 2002 10:24 pm, you wrote:

I have this very card (well, it's onboard) and I upgraded to 2.4.18 a while back, but I've been using ALSA 0.9 for a while. Don't bother using YaST2 to configure the card, the version in 7.3 is for ALSA 0.5. Use 'alsaconf' instead. Here's what it generated in '/etc/modules.conf' for me: # vuMS.leFtcOMtGx0:CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device # # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 options snd-cmipci snd_index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- Be sure to run 'depmod -a' after the modules.conf changed or the modules won't auto-load. I should probably also tell you that a *lot* of sound applications will no longer work, or fall back to OSS, which can cause problems. If something you need breaks, you'll have to recompile it. Or you could go back to the official 2.4.16. I wouldn't worry about troubles in 8.0, though. Everything will use ALSA 0.9. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8usl6+FOexA3koIgRAkaWAJ0fzdfoxLjM2Mg/DxgdM43abkcBfACeJvef BGmuZaL/RWb1rn94ACuO/Nc= =P531 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
