No sound using XMMS and ALSA

(1/2) > >>

VernDog:
I have a older Compaq laptop that has a es1869 built in. It works using Windows and TinyME and PCLinuxOS, but I keep getting a message using XMMS that sayd check sound settings. OSS just doesn't work. It thinks I have a usb sound. ALSA is what has worked in the past. But using alsaconfig, it doesn't find my card.

Don't know it all this is related to the kernel or some module. It would be nice if I could test this card first.

Jason W:
Did you try the option to probe for legacy cards?  And then select ex18xx?  There is an snd-ex18xx.ko module as part of alsa_modules.tcem.  I have a couple of those cards but none installed to test with, but it should work.

VernDog:
Yes I did. First I thought I needed to just select my esx card, it found nothing. Then I let it try to find any legacy card and then it choose opl13. Something like that. I tried to modify the modules.conf file, but still a no-go.

Jason W:
I will put in one of my es18xx cards and see what may be going on.  The alsaconf script was adjusted for PPI or TCZ kernel modules and tested with the usual non-legacy auto detection.  The same changes may need to be made to the legacy functions in the script as they were given the changes.  That is probably what is the matter now that I think about it.

Jason W:
I put in the card and alsaconf worked and inserted the modules, but alsamixer and speaker-test would not work.  Dmesg said that the chipset was not found.  So alsaconf is working ok, there is some other issues.  I will look deeper and get back with results if there are any.
