Multimedia :: xmms & mp3 & no sound



OK, thanks a lot , it worked for me, i'll put it in bootlocal.sh.
In fact i think the problem came from the shared irq, but, moreover, the module snd was not loaded at boot.

Here is what i've put in my bootlocal.sh:
(maybe it could be useful to others)

rmmod i810_audio
rmmod ac97_code
rmmod soundcore
insmod soundcore
insmod sound
insmod ac97_codec
insmod i810_audio irc 10

Good Tuxedo, I'm glad it worked. Now you can help cmk77.
I believe the problem most frequent related to audio on DSL is as you says the share interruption and it could be fixed by change or add something on the program that does the autoconfiguration during the boot. Ask for this could be posted in DSL Ideas and Suggestions Forum. Meanwhile we must use this alternatives.
I'm searching for the most general method to write a howto to fix this problems but I wait for more feedback about different sound chipsets from other guys. Perhaps my last method is the best. What is your opinion?

Fortunately because the 'snd' module is un ALSA module and must not be loaded (now you is using OSS). The intent to load the 'snd' module is a residual ALSA configuration from when you installed ALSA to hard disk.
Remember you when I said you: 'try to install ALSA but booting DSL from LiveCD, not from hard disk installation'?
That was the reason.

Good job.
hi Piccolo,

yes i've mixed up, it was not snd, but sound module, and i'm running oss :), now it works and i can gladly listen to music on my laptop.
Well about howtos, i think i would be a good thing to put, for each sound card which need some tweaking (changing irq, or else), the method wich works...for instance with that sound car, it works with oss, so the method you mentioned in your last post works
