Configuring sound card in Linux

Post by Love_Daddy »

Hi guys,

I just bought a Fujitsu-siemens Laptop and I installed Redhat and windows XP on it.
My problem is that I can't get the sound card to work in linux but in windows.

My sound card details:

Vendor:VIA Technologies
Model:VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller
Module:via82cxxx_audio

And inside my modules.conf

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f/etc/.aumixr -L>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f/etc/.aumixr -S>/dev/null 2>& || :
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

When I reboot the system, it tells me "Aumix: error opening mixer"

Anyone with suggestions, websites to visit?

Thanks

Lucky me, there is a howto exactly describing the installation for my notebook soundcard. I know approximatly nothing about the sound system ;)
But does alsaconfig recognize your soundcard? If so you might let handle it the installation.

u might need to reconfigure and compile the kernel with that module. also someone might have madea kernel module for that already.
