Here's more information: Without the errata updates, RedHat 7.1's sndconfig says: modprobe error The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/sound/nm256_audio.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/sound/nm256_audio.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/sound/nm256_audio.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/sound/nm256_audio.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed And, with the new 2.4.3-12 kernel & the other errata/security updates, sndconfig flashes this message: NM256: This doesn't look to me like the AC97-compatible version. You can force the driver to load by passing in the module parameter: force_ac97 = 1 More likely, you should be using the appropriate SB-16 or CS4232 driver instead. (If your BIOS has settings for IRQ and/or DMA for the sound card, this is *not* the correct driver to use.) and then it says: The following error occurred playing the sample: sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device. From your hardware compatibility list, it should work. Perhaps it worked in previous RedHat versions (maybe 7.0). Is there a workaround for this now? Will someone fix the driver? Combining suggestions from bugs #27509 and #28510, and then changing the numbers to match my BIOS settings, I got it to work by having /etc/modules.conf contain: alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&\ 1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 \ || : options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x300 io=0x120 isapnp=0 Note that sndconfig doesn't let you choose IO=0x120 for the opl3sa2 card: it insists on 370 or 380. But setting it manually in modules.conf worked. |
