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
