System :: headphones

this might be a problem when i type in modprobe sound it fails:

Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ modprobe sound
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o: create_module: Operation not permitted
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o: insmod sound failed
dsl@box:~$

ok i just tried somehtign new, and this is the closest i have gotten i think:

Code Sample

dsl@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe sound
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod ad1848
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/ad1848.o
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod uart401
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/uart401.o
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod cs46xx io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs46xx.o: unresolved symbol ac97_releas e_codec
root@box:/home/dsl#

but no sound plays

Try increasing the volume and unmuting the sound.

i used mplayer and poped in a dvd and it said no sound

When insert audio driver modules into the kernel (modprobe command) all mixer channels are muted by default.
You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package. In Xterminal:

alsamixer

Then from keyboard:
The Left and right arrow keys are used to select the channel while 'M' key toggles muting for the current channel
