newbie question:re sound

(1/3) > >>

Faust:
I would appreciate some help on a problem Ive been having with sound - sometimes my computer will boot up with no sound support and I have to set up my sound from the terminal.  I think it would be fairly easy to shove a few lines into my boot up to  get sound working but I dont know how.  Below is the procedure I follow to ge sound working:
(stuff that I do is indented by an asterix *)

*su root

*draksound

*set driver to:snd-intel8x0 (intel 82801AA, 82901AB, i810, i820, i830, i840, MX440, SiS 7012)

i810 audio :D evice or resource busy
starting alsa version 0.9.0rc2 :( intel8x0) [OK]
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz:init module:no such device
hint:insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
you may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe:insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o.gz failed
modprobe:insmod snd-intel8x0 failed
insmoding module snd-intel8x0 failed at /usr/lib/libDrakX/modules.pm line 55

*draksound

*set driver to:i810_audio (intel 810 audio support)

shutting down alsa sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2):no (sound is being used by pid xxxx)
rmod:module snd-intel8x0 is not loaded

*kill xxxx

*draksound

*set driver to:snd-intel8x0 (intel 82801AA, 82901AB, i810, i820, i830, i840, MX440, SiS 7012)

alsa driver (version 0.9.0rc2) is already running

#(there is still no sound at this stage, but applications which will not start with no sound drivers will run)

*draksound

*set driver to:i810_audio (intel 810 audio support)

shutting down alsa sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2):[OK]
rmod:module snd-intel8x0 is not loaded
loading sound module (i810_audio) [OK]

#(sound now works perfectly)

Faust:
I have no idea why the   :D    :(  smilies are in the above post...   :confused:    :confused:    :confused:  

cat /proc/pci gives:
   bus 0, device 31, function 5
   multimedia audio controller:intel corp 82801BA/BAM AC97 audio (rev 5)
   IRQ 10
   I/O at 0xe000 [0xeOff]
   I/O at 0xf000 [0xf03f]

The output from dmesg is pretty long so i wont post it unless someone asks me to...

choasforages:
ok, just stick this in /etc/modules.conf

--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

choasforages:
and remember to run alsamixer after each boot, i don't know how to set up autoloading of mixer settings though.

Faust:
thanks choasforages! 8-)
doing it now...
