Hi Jerry, I checked out 4Front technologies, I do not think it is a free download. So, I understand I have to use OSS driver that came with SuSE 7.1. I do not see the driver under Sound in Yast2. How do I do it? Regards Sundar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Kreps" To: "Sundar @eSaravana" ; Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2001 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 7.1 on VAIO PCV-70

Hello,

I have installed SuSE 7.1 on my old SONY PCV-70 box. The problem is it doesn't seem to successfully install driver for the sound card. From various websites I figured out I need Yamaha OPL3SA1 driver.

Where would I find this driver?

Any help is appreciated

Sundar

My Sony (this machine) is that exact box! I never could get the ALSA drivers working with it, but the OSS drivers work beautifully. They are in the kernel, in the sound section. Also, 4Front technologies has an OSS driver too. JLK

Jerry, I haven't managed to yet re-compile the kernel. In the mean time, I happened to see ossmixer RPM in SuSE 7.1. Is this the same thing you are talking about? If yes, what should I be doing next. Somewhere in ossmixer documentation it said to run ./ossmixer, but all I get for that is "Can't open Mixer Device" If no, thanks man. After compiling, if I have questions -- I will ask.

Assuming you have your kernel source tree loaded.... cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig go to the sound section, the oss subsection. choose your sound driver as part of the kernel. save and exit menuconfig make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-<some abbr> cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<same abbr as System.map> Add a section to lilo.conf for the new kernel Make sure 'image=' uses the same abbr: image = /boot/vmlinuz-<same abbr> etc...

run lilo reboot, choose your new kernel. If it doesn't boot then reboot, choose the old kernel and find out where you messed up. JLK
