help with sound driver

[K.C. Chan]

All I've got a SEK'D Siena Card , it looks like I can use the alsa driver rme9652. I've compiled alsa-driver with these lists of card emu10k1,intle8x0,and rme9652, both emu10k1 and intel8x0 are fine. But when I tried to load rme9652 with modprobe snd-card-rme9652, I got this error: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/misc/snd-card-rme9652.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/misc/snd-card-rme9652.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/misc/snd-card-rme9652.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/misc/snd-card-rme9652.o: insmod snd-card-rme9652 failed

Any idea on how can I get this to works? Thanks.

Hello Michael,

I had the same pb with AZT1008 and alsa 0.9.x series.

Then I downgraded to alsa 0.5.x and it works perfectly.

Good luck.

I am at 0.5.x, any suggestions? Should I upgrade to the developed version 0.9.x?

Since the error I got when doing modprobe snd-card-rme9652 errors puke on irq (Maybe ????). Could this be the it, bec. It didn't recognized the device.
If this is the case, then how can I manually assigned the IRQ to the SEK'D SIENA card?

irq 0: 1117022 timer irq 12: 33 PS/2 Mouse
irq 1: 4 keyboard irq 14: 13365 ide0
irq 2: 0 cascade [4] irq 15: 2 ide1
irq 3: 4 irq 17: 0 EMU10K1
irq 4: 4 irq 18: 0 EMU10K1
irq 6: 6 irq 19: 0 usb-uhci
irq 7: 3 irq 23: 16262 usb-uhci, eth0
irq 8: 1 rtc

To see the list of parameters supported by the "snd-card-rme9652" driver :

modinfo snd-card-rme9652


Supposing that the IRQ parameter name is "snd_irq" :

modprobe -a snd-card-rme9652 ... snd_irq=5 ...

If it still doesn't work, consider upgrading to 0.9.x (but with no success guaranteed).

Good luck.

It didn't work when I upgraded to 0.9 so I went back to 0.5x and now everything is broken. Here's what I got when trying modprobe:
modprobe snd-card-emu10k1
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: No such file or directory
insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed
insmod: insmod snd-card-emu10k1 failed

Any idea how I can recover back to the point before I upgraded to 0.9? Thanks.

Hello Michael,

Do clean the kernel modules for alsa 0.9.x :

cd /lib/modules/2.4.7-10smp/kernel
mv sound /tmp
depmod -a

Then go to the 0.5.x driver directory and :

make install

When everything is ok :

rm -rf /tmp/sound


Good luck.
