From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I have an onboard Yamaha OPL3-SA2 chipset, which Red Hat and Fedora have never detected right. In the 2.4.x kernels, I just had to change the alias in /etc/modules.conf to the opl3sa2 driver and everything was dandy. I'm not sure which driver is being loaded (now with the 2.6.x+ALSA stuff, but it doesn't work (the gnome mixer applet reports no device found). The ones I see are snd_pcm_oss, snd_pcm, snd_page_alloc, snd_timer, snd_mixer_oss, snd, and soundcore. So I unload them with `modprobe -r snd_pcm_oss` and load the correct driver with `modprobe -a snd_opl3sa2`. It says it can't find a supported device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.2-1.81smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open terminal 2. `modprobe -r snd_pcm_oss` 3. confirm all sound modules unloaded with lsmod 4. `modprobe -a snd_opl3sa2` Actual Results: [root@dragon root] # modprobe -a snd_opl3sa2 FATAL: Error inserting snd_opl3sa2 (/lib/modules/2.6.2-1.81smp/kernel/sound/isa/snd-opl3sa2.ko): No such device [root@dragon root] # lsmod Module Size Used by snd_opl3_lib 12288 0 snd_hwdep 10244 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4231_lib 30976 0 snd_mpu401_uart 9088 0 snd_rawmidi 27040 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 9096 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 105860 1 snd_cs4231_lib snd_page_alloc 13060 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd_timer 29572 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm snd 56932 8 snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10720 1 snd Expected Results: The module should load and I should have access to my sound card. Additional info:
Problem persists on kernel-smp-2.6.2-1.87. I had the thought to install sndconfig, but that doesn't seem to be available any more.
not sure if this will matter too much, but this is an ISA audio chipset.
Oh yeah, system-config-sound (and all the redhat-config-sound versions before) don't detect the chipset, which is why I though to use sndconfig.
Problem still exists in kernel-smp-2.6.3-1.91.
I also have this problem on FC2T3 w/kernel 2.6.5-1.349. However, from the kernel boot log, it does appear that the ISA PNP card is now being detected properly.
I'm no longer using the Yamaha audio chipset, so I don't really care about this anymore.
