Hi All
First a *Thanks* to all those, here or elsewhere, who spend their time
on the development of usable software for PPC Linux: I don't think I
ever would have bought the latest alu Powerbook with the option that
this machine will be an MacOSX-only one ... :)
As to the reason why I came here:
As I can't be sure whether the issue announced in the subject line is
really a kernel issue I put some sound relevant config files in a
tarball (~ 12 KB) to my homepage:
wolfgangpfeiffer.com/alsa.configs.tar.gz
In the tarball above you'll find
these local /etc/ dirs with all files below them:
alsa modprobe.d modutils
and these single files, also from /etc/ here:
modules modules.conf pbbuttonsd.conf
The kernel config
http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/config-2.6.17-rc3-g5528e568-dirty.txt
(Geocities, which my site actually is hosted by, does not allow
uploading the file without the file type suffix, IIRC ...)
The kernel, made with non-edited (except the kernel .config), as I hope,
git sources, and with the 'make-kpkg' Debian package:
$ cat /proc/version

---------------------
So with the settings from the files above I run 'alsaconf', and it
can't find any sound card:
x x
x x
x No supported PnP or PCI card found. x
x x
x Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips? x
x x
x x
x <Yes> <No> x
x x
Either answering No or Yes does not help to get sound.
KDE also is complaining. Something like:
---------------------
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
-----------------------
The alsapackages seem to be the latest ones I can get:
# apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
alsa-base is already the newest version.
alsa-utils is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-alsa is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-common is already the newest version.
alsaplayer-gtk is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 322 not upgraded.
Please let me know in case you need more information ..
Best Regards
