Your best source of information for your card is the files in linux/Documentation/sound/.Ĩ.1 Individual Sound Device Driver Arguments Also, generally no defaults are set at compile time (i.e. Note that each driver has its own individual boot argument (very old kernels used a shared sound=). To avoid name conflict, the ALSA stuff generally has `snd-' as a prefix to all the boot parameters. The intention is to drop the OSS stuff eventually. The older stuff is generally called OSS' and the newer is called ALSA'. Note that there was a rewrite of a lot of the sound core and related drivers. Here is the text from the above mentioned website: You can test the driver and the options at alsa_local file without reboot: Perhaps /etc/modutils/alsa_local is not needed but I did not test. Note! isapnp=0 will turn isapnp off so non pnp card can be found. Note! Propably alsa_local files does not exist so create them first. Add following line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_local and /etc/modutils/alsa_local files. This will make the driver to load at boot time.Ģ. Add following line to the /etc/modules file. It will display the sound device it is using.ĮXAMPLE SoundBlaster SB16 non PNP ISA card:ġ. So, if you are unsure of the module, load it and run alsamixer.
Run alsamixer in the console to unmute your sound. I *think* you need to tell the kernel the sound settings in some circumstances (look in your bios for the values): sudo modprobe opl3 port=0x220 irq=5 dma1=1Īnother thing! Alsa sound is muted by default. Do read the documentation on sudo and nano, They are less intimidating than you might think.
To the file /etc/modules and rebooting got this system working. Ubuntu Dapper Drake will not load the the Crystal CS-4236 driver used in a Dell Optiplex GX1 (and others) by default. That worked so, I added "snd-es18xx" to /etc/modules so that it would be loaded at boot time. If you get sliders to move around, it is working. To see if your card is working, run alsamixer. I consulted the list and tried loading the ESS Audiodrive module by hand: sudo modprobe snd-es18xx I found this: I used the information to get my older sound card working.įor example, I opened my box and looked at the sound chip. You need to tell the kernel to load the module. Loading the correct module for your device will not cause your system to crash. Many older devices are not probed (autodetected) by the 2.6 kernel to avoid hardware issues like crashes. This article should be cleaned-up to follow the content standards in the Wiki Guide.
