I don't know whether the SuSE 10.0 Eval 64-bit ship with or without sound support, but I run SuSE 10 (not the Eval-version) on a 64-bit system (AMD 3500+, ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe) with an intergrated soundchip (NVidia CK804 Duplex Realtek ALC850-something) and it works fine for me. I also have a SB Audigy 2 Value, or Audigy 4, but it's disabled since I'm not sure it's fully recognised and/or supported. I had some trouble with the sound modules not loading properly (I think it was) after the first install, when I had both soundcards configured (intergrated as no. 0, SB as no. 1), but at the last install I disabled the SB card already during installation process, and no problems so far. /Lars Ricardo Cruz wrote:
Hey there,
I've recently bought a 64-bit AMD computer and have inserted my PCI Ensoniq 1370 sound card. I've tried it and it works just fine on the 32-bit SuSE 10.0 Eval edition. But I can't say the same for the 64-bit edition that I've installed from scratch.
It looks like sound support wasn't added to the kernel. Firstly, the errors I was getting from the command "modprobe snd-ens1370" were: «FATAL: Module snd-ens1370 not found.»
Then, I've installed Alsa-drivers, utils and libs from source, even though the software manager says the RPMs are already installed. Now, the error I'm getting is as follows: «linux:~ # modprobe snd-ens1370 WARNING: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_ak4531_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/pci/ac97/ snd-ak4531-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-timer. ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_seq_device (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/seq/s nd-seq-device.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-rawm idi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_ens1370 (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1370. ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)»
dmesg outputs a lot of repetitions, so I'm just reporting the tail: «linux:~ # dmesg | tail snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_free_pages snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_set_ops snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_device_new snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_new snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_set_ops snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_free_for_all snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_ratnums snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_format_width»
Is this a problem of the kernel or Alsa? And is it true that SuSE 10.0 Eval 64-bit doesn't ship with sound support?
Cheers, Ricardo
