Lost .. [AC 97 Sound]

[Dagreat1]

I am using Linux redhat 7.3 on a Intel 845-GLAD, 1.7 ghz processor with an
Ac`97 audio card.
Whenever i run sndconfig --no probe and select my sound card.
It gives the following error:

The following error occurred running the modprobe program: ?
? ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: ?
? init_module: No such device ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o failed ?
? /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod ?
? sound-slot-0 failed


Can anyone help me.
Thankyou!

hello,
the depmod -a will handle depencies issues for loadable modules and the modprobe blank will load module blank .

what is in /etc/modules.conf and what happens when you run just sndconfig ?

[GhostDawg]

When you type lsmod, does any of those sound drivers show in the list?

Have they been compiled from the kernel?

Just some thoughts!

[Dagreat1]

Hey,
This is my whole modules.conf :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i run sndconfig without the --noprobe option it says.

A PCI sound card was found in your sustem.The details are.
Model : Intel corp. |Unknown device. 8086:24c5
The Intel corp. |Unknown device. 8086:24c5 is not supported.

... and lsmod

hummm...

lets try this - add the follwoing lines to the file /etc/modules.conf

alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L > /dev/null 2>&1 ||  :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 ||  :

if that fails add alias char-major-14 soundcore to the start of those lines.

[gorn]

why not do a lspci -v and post the info on your sound card. it might help.

I have the sound working at work on a Dell OptiPlex GX260, which uses the same chipset, etc. as your sound - unfortunately, i've been on vacation for 2 weeks now so I don't exactly remember what I have done to make it work. Send me a PM - I go back to work tomorrow and I'll let you know.
