There are two updated packages I would like you to try oout that I had built some time ago. Please try them out to see if they work properly: http://people.redhat.com/timp/RPMS/rat-4.2.15-2.i386.rpm http://people.redhat.com/timp/RPMS/sdr-3.0-4.i386.rpm and the sources are here: http://people.redhat.com/timp/SRPMS/rat-4.2.15-2.src.rpm http://people.redhat.com/timp/SRPMS/sdr-3.0-4.src.rpm Please let me know whether or not these work for you. Tim
i install the new rat package and i have stil the same problem I have made further test with other program ksoundrecord work like a charm but grecord doesn t work complaining there s another application that use the sounddevice. But when i launch lsof /dev/dsp there s no result
Pekka, have you experienced this as well? I don't have an IPv6 connection to test to figure out where the problem may be. Tim
I have tested rat 4.2.18 on two systems, one worked, the other not. One had 'no sound device' in rat options, the other 'OSS: Ensoniq ES1370' (this one works). For both, other sound apps like 'xmms' work just fine. I've put an updated version of rat (it has some sound driver updates) at http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/ Please test that and see if it works. If not, please tell which sound card do you have? (e.g. /etc/modules.conf contents, relevant lines from dmesg when the driver is loaded)
Well i have to rebuild the packages as there was some missing librairies I upgraded to the 4.2.19 version but still has the same problem. no device found on the rat option concerning audio lsmod gives i810_audio 13872 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 8576 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 3600 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] dmesg gives i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0xdc40 and 0xd800, IRQ 10 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5360 (Unknown) i810_audio: setting clocking to 41349 The machine is dell optiplex GX150
My unworking card is: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2445 (rev 02) alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0xef00 and 0xe800, IRQ 9 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4144:0x5360 (Unknown) Which appears to be identical! I wonder if this would be fixed when the kernel is updated so that it knows of the device and the codec. I'm unable to test new kernels, but if you'd like, I'd recommend testing this with e.g. linux-2.4.9ac15 from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.9/, it would be interesting to know if anything has changed wrt. dmesg/lspci etc.
Well it should work as there s no problem with roswell The problem is that i have to find a solution with seawolf and not roswell.
It works with roswell? If so, it's the kernel, and that can't be easily fixed in seawolf; you could try to grab kernel RPM from roswell, and the other rpms it requires, and try to install them on seawolf. It would probably work.
Well I just update the kernel to 2.4.9 provided in the update section of 7.1 and i still have no sound with rat. Then it seems not be a problem with kernel but with the distrib.
Since Powertools has been discontinued, the official fix is the removal of the package from newer products - sorry about that. I believe the issue you're seeing is a sound driver problem, though (we've seen a number of AC97 related problems). You might want to try the 2.4.17-0.2 kernel from rawhide, it has a couple of related fixes.
