Ok, so I vent and yell about sound support, got to bed, wake up 8 hours later, try to install OSS, and find that they don't support sound in the 2.4.2 kernel. Who, if anybody, on this list has sound working with the 2.4.2 kernel. If you had to recompile the kernel, that would be of interest as well. If your sound is working, I'd be interested to know what you did to get it working, and what kind of hardware you have. My AWE64 Gold would produce sound briefly and then go silent. I had the same results with the 2.4 kernel. This seems to be an alsa problem. Am I missing something, or did OSS not ship with 7.1? The one service I can provide to the Linux community is to break things, and boy am I good at it! TIA, Steve
Wonders why Steve has no sound.... I see you are using the AWE64 Gold.....I bring up make menuconfig and go to sound, I enable basic sound, then head on down to OSS support. I notice that there is support for 100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SBq6/32/64 ESS, Jazz16). Thinks that SuSE had it modulized (my emu10k1 was...). Recommends heading on over www.alsa-project.org and downloading the driver, library, and the utilities as they need to be rebuilt against the kernel you are running. Once they are installed Yast2 or alsaconf to get it working. Then that should be that.....:-). I hope this works for you. Too tired to think too much here.........

Matt Matt,
I believe the support for AWE64 Gold is ostensibly there. It simply does not work correctly. I did fetch the latest ALSA stuff, but it failed to compile with the stock kernel. I was hoping to get a better theoretical understaning of what was going on with the new kernel and module layout before I dove back into compileing the kernel. Stupid me I thought it would be nice to keep a local image of the update branch of the SuSE FTP server mirrored on one of my boxes, so I upgraded my com-server to 7.1. Like I said, if they can make it, I can break it. I see they have a new version of the Firewall RPM out there. If that fixes the problem, my pain was worth its reward. Nontheless, my study tie went to the dogs. I'll look back at your other emails and try to piece together a good step by step for compiling the kernel. I can honestly say, I have probably already been told everything I need to know in order to compile the kernel. I appreciate your help, and I hope I will soon be able to make use of it. Steve

Sound works fine here. 1370 based card. Only trick was to recompile alsa and stick the modules into the right spot. Other then that no problems at all. Nick

Nick Nick,
I couldn't get ALSA to compile by following the instructions in the INSTALL file. Here is the last few lines from the make output. There may be a step I'm missing. I'll review this for a while, but the ROI is becoming pretty small at this point. ------------------------------- In file included from ../include/driver.h:108, from sound.c:23: ../include/compat_22.h:95: redefinition of `struct pci_device_id' ../include/compat_22.h:102: redefinition of `struct pci_driver' ../include/compat_22.h:128: redefinition of `pci_module_init' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/pci.h:609: `pci_module_init' previously defined here make[1]: *** [sound.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/download/working/alsa/alsa-driver-0.5.10b/kernel' make: *** [compile] Error 1 bash-2.04# ls -------------------------------------- This is actually with the 2.2.18 kernel running, but I get the same with 2.4.2. I need to review what Matt has posted since he may have already told me how to work around this. Steve

The error looks similar to what I get if I don't tell configure which sound card I have. Try telling ./configure what card you have. Nick

Thanks Nick, I have actually made some progress since then. Now I get an error telling me I need to enable sound support in the kernel. I had failed to update the source RPM for the 2.4.2 kernel. One might expect that not to change, but who knows? gcc -DALSA_BUILD -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DLINUX -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/src/linux/include -I.. -c -o sound_oss.o sound_oss.c sound_oss.c:27: #error "Enable the OSS soundcore multiplexer (CONFIG_SOUND) in the kernel." make[1]: *** [sound_oss.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/download/working/alsa/alsa-driver-0.5.10b/kernel' make: *** [compile] Error 1 I'm not ready to dive back into the kernel compiling business just yet. I'm actually *reading* _Programming with GNU Software_. It's kind of frustrating because I already know a lot of the stuff so its hard to stay focused long enough to get the parts I don't know. Hey, I just noticed some info on sound cards on the http://portal.suse.com If this works, I'm not messing with ALSA compiling. I have enough to do. Thanks for the pointers, I may need them after all is said and done. One good thing is that ALSA now has a `make uninstall`. Steve
I am running 2.2.18 on 7.1 with OSS sound using the new 'inivers' package that I downloaded from 4Front. They claim it is for both 2.2.x and 2.4.x. ??? JLK On Thursday 08 March 2001 21:01, you wrote:
