The following is a sample setup. It is independent from any use of yast2 or compiled in sound support for the sound chip with the standard SuSE kernel. SB Live 1400 Alsa Sound Configuration --------------------------------- My Setup: SB Live 1400, SuSE 6.4, alsa-*-0.5.9.tar.gz Download Alsa Driver, Lib, Utils: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/ ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/ 1. The Kernel is compiled with sound core module. No specific sound module chosen though. 2. Edit /etc/conf.modules: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="SBLIVE" alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 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 3. Update dependencies: $ depmod -a 4. Compile alsa-driver: $ ./configure --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-oss --with-sequencer $ make install $ ./snddevices Compile alsa-lib: $ ./configure $ make $ make install Compile alsa-utils: $ ./configure $ make $ make install 5. $ vi sound.prog #!/bin/sh # A reasonable set of ALSA mixer settings to start up with. # We can always pick better ones for specific cases with the # GUI mixers AMIX='/usr/bin/amixer -q' $AMIX set Master 100% unmute $AMIX set PCM 85% unmute $AMIX set MIC 85% unmute $AMIX set CD 85% unmute $AMIX set 'Input Gain' 40% $AMIX set Line 40% unmute capture $ chmod +x sound.prog Reboot and run 'modprobe snd-card-emu10k1' and shell script to unmute the components. The program 'alsamixer' can be used to change settings. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
