Multimedia :: alsa doesnt find my card



Toshiba Satellite 2545 CDS, Yamaha OPL-SAx (what the x is, I don't know. Toshiba's website doesn't say). Alsa's website says it's supported, but on boot, it can't find it. If I try to manually load the module, it isn't there. Am I missing something? I installed Alsa via MyDSL.
Did you install dsl-dpkg.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl also? If not, make sure you read the info file before you download an extension.

My guess is that the module is an opl3sa2 one. You can search the forum about this module. You may be able to simply do a modprobe opl3sa2 or opl3sa3 to get it working (I can't remember the exact module name).

Good luck

Yeah, I followed the instrucitons that the alsa extension gave. During boot, I get the messages:
modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0
modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0

I tried to do a modprobe of both names you suggested, and only the sa2 did not return an error. Now I just need a sound file to test.

Do a control alt backspace out of X and then startx. If the wmmix app comes up in your dockapps, you should have working sound.

I've got an old Siemens Sceneic mobile 350  im expermenting with (yamaha opl3-Sax) and doing the modprobe opl3sa2 works like a charm, as root.

I was just wondering, is there any special reason why DSL hardware detection doesn’t boot up with working sound. The hardware obviously has support since waaay back.
