alsa on gentoo ppc 2.6.0-test11-benh1

[Zeno R.R. Davatz]

Hi List

I got two questions:
1.
I am running alsa on gentoo ppc 2.6.0-test11-benh1.
I done my kernel with make menuconfig, make, make modules_install

lsmod gives me:
snd_seq_oss            41720  0
snd_seq_midi_event      8992  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                64024  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          9924  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            69188  0
snd_pcm               123700  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc         14052  1 snd_pcm
snd_timer              28608  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss          22464  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd                    66340  8 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
dmasound_pmac          89752  1
dmasound_core          22188  2 dmasound_pmac
i2c_core               29540  1 dmasound_pmac
soundcore              11200  3 snd,dmasound_core

When I do amixer I get:
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device

I done my kernel with make menuconfig, make, make modules_install

I have been searching the Net for clues but did not find anything so far, to get my sound working.

alsasound restart gives me:
 * WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
 * Unloading ALSA...
 * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...

 * Loading: snd-seq-oss
FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss already in kernel.
 * Running card-dependent scripts
 * Restoring Mixer Levels 

2. Why does my computer go to sleep when I press 'CapsLook'. Can I turn that off or is this still a 2.6.0 Bug?

Thanks for any help and hints.

It seems you are trying to load both dmasound_pmac and alsa
snd-powermac, they are mutually exclusive.

That's a strange thing that appeared with one snapshot of test11
and disappeared with the next one afaik. I don't have a good explanation. It
definitely doesn't happen on my laptops, and the logs I got from users seemed
to indicate that the PMU chip (which controls the keyboard on those laptops)
was actually the one sending a spurrious 0x7f event (power key). It may be
something we do that triggers that though I haven't been able to find out
what.

If it happens reproduceably, you may want to disable whatever userland
daemon you have that triggers sleep when you press the power key. (I
suppose pbbuttonsd).

Ben.

my modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 looks like this:
# For example:
# 3c59x
#soundcore
#dmasound_pmac
hcfusbserial
hcfusbengine
hcfusbosspec
serial
snd
snd-powermac

But sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart still gives me:

Check what's up if you don't have previously loaded dmasound_pmac

Ben.

I meant, make sure (/proc/modules) it is not as it was in your
original report

Ok, I just done emerge -U for 2.6.0_beta11-r2

Lets see how that goes.

Another issue I could remember was when I tried to make the modules for the hcfusbmodem. During /usr/sbin/hcfusbconfig I got an error that told me that modversion.h is missing.

1. Ok, great. CapsLock works!
2. amixer and alsamixer now also seem to work. I get a reasonable result when I do amixer or alsamixer.

But now my speaker complains: can not open /dev/sound/mixer.

Any hints?

Thanks for your feedback.

Zeno

Ok, I put OSS Emulation in as well. Now the sound works perfect.

Thanks for your help.
