Searched everywhere to find out how to get the sound to work on my Asus Pundit-R that I bought early december. All I could find was that it wasn't possible with the current kernel... So I just gave the last stable ALSA driver a go, and guess what... it just works
Used url: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - ATI atiixp
Here is what I did. All was done remote by using putty and the root account.
Get the files
Code:
cd /usr/src
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2
Install the driver
Code:
bunzip2 alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-driver-1.0.7
./configure --with-cards=atiixp --with-sequencer=yes
make
make install
tar -xf alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-driver-1.0.7
./configure --with-cards=atiixp --with-sequencer=yes
make
make install
Install library
Code:
cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-lib-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install
bunzip2 alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-lib-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install
Install utils
Code:
cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-utils-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install
bunzip2 alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-utils-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install
Insert the modules into the kernel
Code:
modprobe snd-atiixp
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss
Use alsamixer to set sound level.
*This returns this error on my machine, ignoring it:
* alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
*Mythtv will set the level.
Setup modutils
Code:
vi /etc/modutils/alsa
use i to set insert mode and quit insert mode with Esc and quit+save with :wq!
Paste the following
Quote:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
Update /etc/modules.conf
Code:
update-modules
Test it
Code:
/etc/init.d/Sound start
Now play some mp3 or divx in mythtv and you should hear sound.
