Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 8416
sndconfig crashes when you select NeoMagic 256AV
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:12:06 EDT
I have run sndconfig with --noprobe and --noautoconfig and selected NeoMagic 256AV from the Device list. After selecting it, I am presented with a dialog box "Warning: On Dell Inspirion 3500 this drivers freezes the system". And it asks me to continue [Yes] [No]. If I select [Yes] it gives me the same dialog again, so I select [Yes] and it again displays the dialog. So I decided to click [No] which exited out of the sndconfig. I have finished installing Red Hat Linux 6.1 on my SONY VAIO PCG-F340: PII 366MHz RAM 64M HD 6.40GB DISPLAY NeoMagic 256AV SOUND NeoMagic 256AV * ETHERNET 3Com Megahertz XJ10BT/XJ10BC (PCMCIA) MODEM Rockwell (Stupid WinModem) * * not configured Could you please help
Fixed in the latest sndconfig in Raw Hide. Alternatively, just add 'alias sound nm256' to /etc/conf.modules.
I tried your suggestion. But when insmod tries to load nm256.o module it gives like 8 to 10 symbol unresolved error. Any suggestion on what I should do?
Use modprobe instead of insmod.
Thaks, it works somewhat. I can hear the system bell now (when you try to backspace at the begining of line). But I still am not able to play any wav/mp3/realaudio files. I tried diffrent players (KDE and GNOME). Could you please help? Here is the info I get when I type in lsdev: Device DMA IRQ I/O Ports ------------------------------------------------ cascade 4 2 dma 0080-008f dma1 0000-001f dma2 00c0-00df fpu 13 00f0-00ff ide0 14 01f0-01f7 03f6-03f6 fcf0-fcf7 ide1 15 0170-0177 0376-0376 fcf8-fcff keyboard 1 0060-006f Mouse 12 pic1 0020-003f pic2 00a0-00bf rtc 8 0070-007f serial 03e8-03ef 03f8-03ff smc91c92_cs 3 0100-010f timer 0 0040-005f vga+ 03c0-03df lsmod: Module Size Used by smc91c92_cs 13680 1 ds 5740 2 [smc91c92_cs] i82365 22640 2 pcmcia_core 39912 0 [smc91c92_cs ds i82365] nm256 64456 0 sound 57240 0 [nm256] soundcore 2372 6 [sound] soundlow 300 0 [sound] If you need any other info please let me know.
