I wonder if the module detection's broken? AmatCoder, could you try instead of depmod and the startup script to run "modprobe snd-intel8x0" after loading alsa?
If I try "modprobe snd-intel8x0" after loading alsa.tzc nothing happens...No sound and nothing into dmesg.
Let me put some dmesg logs here:
1) "tce-load -i alsa"
intel_rng: FWH not detected
Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: setting latency timer to 64
intel_rng: FWH not detected
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 51690 usecs (2491 samples)
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
2) "sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0" <- nothing is added to log.
3) "sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start" <- Error *No such file or directory*
Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: PCI INT B disabled
isa cs4231.0: please specify port
isa sb8.0: please specify irq
no AD1816A based soundcards found.
no Avance Logic based soundcards found
4) "sudo depmod -a" <- nothing is added to log.
5) "sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start" <- Now working
Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: setting latency timer to 64
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 53227 usecs (2565 samples)
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
Ok, I will add depmod to the /usr/local/tce.installed/alsa startup script, apparently the current setup works for some or most and not for others.
I think that some people load alsaconf.tcz in conjunction with (or instead of) alsa.tcz...That works because tce.intalled script from alsaconf.tcz has "depmod -a" command into.
Thanks to you both for your replies.
