Hi all, I'm having a brain fart of a weekend I guess and have worked my way into no sound after I compiled a vanilla 2.4.18 kernel. I checked google 50 times and didn't get much info, even though I know this problem has probably been addressed on the list many times b4. I had a working SB Live b4 I upgraded from 2.4.16-4GB to vanilla 2.4.18. I made sure the proper things were selected in the kernel setup and I can get sound yes. The problem is, is that if I try to set up the sound card via yast2 I get an error about the fact that the snd-card-emu10k1 module could not be loaded. So I reinstalled the alsa rpms thinking "This has fixed it for me b4"...didn't put any of the modules into the /lib/modules/2.4.18/misc directory that it should have. So now I figure..hey..I've missed something and can't remember what to do. Now I turn to you. So next I also set up the sound card using "yast2 sound .oss" to let it use OSS. Sound works fine, until I reboot, then I have no sound card set up again. I have 3 questions then. 1. What the heck am I doing wrong with setting up alsa? Did something change with the newer kernels that I'm missing? 2. Why can't I get the OSS configuration to stick after a reboot? 3. What are the diff's/benefits to using alsa over OSS or visa versa if I can get one of them to stay working? As always I thank you in advance for your help. I hope it's just something simple that my hangover is preventing me from remembering. I thought of just d'loading the newest Alsa source and compiling it, but as I've never had any problems resetting this card b4 I am dying to know what i missed.

My first guess would be that when you don't use the "official" SuSE kernels, you lose SuSE-specific functions. YaST2 is definitely SuSE-specific. ;-) Not saying that's the answer, but that's what it sounds like. Joe

The ALSA drivers that this line is referring to aren't in the kernel by default. You have to get the ALSA source, and the make and install the modules from there. Also note that if you're using a later version of ALSA, that snd-card-emu10k changed to snd-emu10k AFAIK, so a change in modules.conf may also be necessary. HTH's Donavan Pantke

1. What the heck am I doing wrong with setting up alsa? Did something change with the newer kernels that I'm missing?
You can't just reinstall the drivers for the new kernel, you will need to recompile alsa-drivers from the source rpm. Also, be warn that if you are using the latest version from the ALSA site, the base module name have been changed to snd-emu10k1 instead of snd-card-emu10k1 and cannot be configured via YAST2. The module structure have also changed (it no longer put everything in misc).
2. Why can't I get the OSS configuration to stick after a reboot?
Don't know without seeing what happened.
3. What are the diff's/benefits to using alsa over OSS or visa versa if I can get one of them to stay working?
