NO sound (SOLVED)

Re: NO sound

Rats.

Not knowing what packages are installed there, you might want to run this, just to make sure you've got them all:

sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-oss

Re: NO sound

Try intiating one of these modules (esp,. the snd_ac97_codec):

snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm_oss
snd_mixer_oss
snd_pcm
snd_timer
snd

i had all these,with the exception of alsa-oss,which i just installed,what next










PS:i don't know how to initiate modules

[nowshining]

Re: NO sound

maybe i spelt it wrong, but it means to start-up, to begin,

so just do what "dibl" said with the modprobe thing, but change the module:

sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0

to

sudo modprobe snd_ac97_codec

& so forth.

edit: a module is a driver in the linux world. , and if u don't get a fatal and it goes back to the command line, that means it loaded.

are u ppl trying out new commands on my machine or what

[nowshining]

Re: NO sound

i'm wondering, do u have all updates installed? and did u reboot after installing those updates, ie: to boot up into the new kernel version, etc.. if there was a kernel update?

[Snowhog]

Re: NO sound

No.

modinfo — program to show information about a Linux Kernel module

The results show that you do have the two kernel modules (soundcore.ko and ac97_bus.ko) on your system. I'm not sure (myself) if the output is confirmation that either are actually installed within the kernel or are being loaded during boot. Others with more experience than I in this area will (hopefully) post and let us know.

Re: NO sound

Take a look at the file /etc/modules, you can just

cat /etc/modules

in Konsole. Do you see anything that looks like a sound module there?

[nowshining]

Re: NO sound

also try

lsmod

which lists the currently running modules. U can post the output of both what dibi said and lsmod here.

Re: NO sound

In your listing of 'loaded modules' I don't see either soundcore or ac97_bus or for that matter, any sound modules.

I'd open a console and type:

sudo modprobe soundcore ac97_bus

This will install the two modules to the running kernel. Afterwards, perform a normal shutdown and reboot. Report back.

Re: NO sound

it seems like i'm gonna call linus torvalds to solve this one

that's the outcome anyway:

FATAL: Error inserting soundcore (/lib/modules/2.6.24-20-386/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

[mhh91]

Re: NO sound

i tried the dmesg command too,but it gave me a result that doesn't even fit in one post here
