I'm trying to use alsa-driver 0.9(?) downloaded from cvs.
I can't get any sound.Using YDL 2.2 on a PB G3 pismo.
I loaded driver,kernel,lib and utils.
Got alsamixer to load but Headphone,Line,CD,Mic and Auto Mut(e) don't
slide.No PCM slider.
Other sliders work OK.
Executed:
'amixer set Master on' which produced:
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch cswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: Playback 0 - 15
Mono: Capture [off]
Front Left: Playback 13 [87%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 13 [87%] [on]
Executed:
amixer set PCM on:
Unable to find simple control 'PCM',0
Executed:
amixer set Master 75%:
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch cswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: Playback 0 - 15
Mono: Capture [off]
Front Left: Playback 11 [73%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 11 [73%] [on]
this moved the alsamixer and kmix(mixer00) volume sliders.
My modules.conf looks like this;I use the internal sound of the PowerBook,no
pcmcia card:
# alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac
# alias sound-slot-1 dmasound_pmac
# alias sound-service-0-0 dmasound_pmac
# alias sound-service-0-3 dmasound_pmac
# alias sound-service-1-0 dmasound_pmac
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# post-install snd-card-<powermac> /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
How do you get sound in alsa?
Best,
