ARGHH! that command also says that i need a curses library. i've installed everything i (though) i would need (apparently i was wrong). anyone knows *exactly* what specific packages i need? should i just install every package i get as a result of searching in synaptec for 'curses'?
thanks, this is driving me crazy. i'm so close, and yet so far....
sweet, i figured it out, there was another file i had to install. anyways, i got it working. now i can alsaconf and it'll start setup. BUT, it doesn't detect my onboard sound. it says no pci cards detected and then asks if i want to probe legacy isa cards, i say yes, and it still doesn't find it (obviously). how do i get it to detect it??
Hmm, I know there are more linux commands to diagnose and display system settings, do you or anyone else know where we can determine if Jnev's intel 0x080 is even being recognized as a motherboard device?
Is it enabled in bios?
How about you GeoMat? Since you have the same chipset (I have an AMD system with NVidia onboard that works out of the box).
My issue, even after compilation, detection and proper system acknowledgement is why my stupid M-Audio Audiophile Delta 2496 won't work.
as root and see what happens. If you get "Fatal: module not found" or something like that then you may have to recompile your kernel to get access to that module.
I like the idea of geomatt as a command - it probably wouldn't do anything useful though...
I am assuming that you downloaded the alsa-1.0.8.tar.bz2 file and uncompressed it someplace like /usr/src/alsa (Doesn't really matter where.) Uncompressing it would have produced an alsa-1.0.8 directory. Go to that directory and type:
su (then the password - that makes you root)
make uninstall (that uninstalls the alsa driver you previously installed)
make clean (that cleans out the compiled alsa driver from the alsa-1.0.8 directory)
./configure --with-cards=azx
make
make install
After each of those commands you should see some stuff zipping by lettig you know what's happening. The only things you need to worry about are error messages.
Assuming you get through all of that ok, then run:
modprobe snd-azx
and see what happens. If you get no messages after that, then try alsaconf and cross your fingers.....
