From: nickinnz on 13 Oct 2005 02:54 I'm trying to load correct sound card driver for my suse 9.3 My sound card is ac97 C-media 9739a chipset and I have downloaded official driver from c-media website. But I do not know how to install it. I dont know much about linux and I was trying to follow readme.txt. I delete my sound card that was installed by default from yast thing, and in terminal typed make command and it just gave me 100s of errors. Is there a rpm version to install this driver? Linux OSS driver for C-Media audio codec (CMI9738, CMI9739) v0.41 Notes: 1. This version implements GPIO on/off when active/disactive the driver which used for Mitac. Features: 1.

For PCCHIPS LCD PC, you should change the following codes in cmaudio.h: // For PCCHIPS LCD PC #define FORCE_LINEINASREAR_MODE 1 #define FORCE_XEAR_MODE 1 //#define FORCE_LINEINASREAR_MODE 0 //#define FORCE_XEAR_MODE 0 Known issues: 1. This driver only tested on RedHat 7.3. 2. /dev/sequencer is not supported. 3. In RedHat 8.0, gmix can not select recording source correctly. Please using aumix. Installation: For driver installation, please follow below steps. Step 1. Unzip source code tar xzf cmaudio-041.tar.gz Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module) Step 3. Complied source code make make install Step 4. Edit your /etc/modules.conf or conf.modules depending on the Distribution alias sound-slot-0 cmaudio 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 || : Step 5. reboot your machine Phone Jacks Configuration: We provide a console mode program, cmconfig.c, in order to let you change jacks' configuration. please follow below steps.

C-media is normally supported by the default install of SuSe. It should be installed by default from the setup, and just go into YAST and configure the sound options under hardware. Now if you really want to install a .gz file, you have to gunzip it before you untar the tarball file. gunzip *.tar, then tar xvsf *.tar or what ever tar attributes you are going to use. you also have to have the programs installed to compile the executables. roalnd

I can hear sound but can't really control the volume. There are some C-media drivers included in alsa, but not the version I have. I'm sure it's quite a common one on motherboard. I've been googling for a day and cant seem to find any solution. But read people having some trouble with the soundcard, which leads me to think they have the driver installed. So basically I just want to be able to control my voulme! I can only control wav? voulme, not anything else.

I have had a little bit of trouble with sound cards for a couple of reasons: If you have a pci card an an card on your mother board - sometimes it helps to turn off the card on the motherboard in the bios. Sometimes SuSe doesn't get the sound installed properly. There are instructions on the SuSe website (the one the icon on your desktop takes you to) on how to fix this. I had to do this in some versions. However; it has been a long time since I had to do this. There is a search engine on the SuSe website, just look for "no sound', and you should find something. Hope that helps, roland
