[alsa-devel] [Fwd: HP DV4 1155 SE - No Sound through speakers...]

[Tim Barnette]

Thanks, a few more questions.. sorry I don't understand most of this..
1) hda-verb - I can't find this.. what is it? Where do I run it?
2) Inside of the snapshot, there are three steps (6, 7,8 below) that I need
help with..

6 - i already have /dev/snd with some stuff in it... so, I won't run this
step..
7 - edit it to do what?
8 - I dont know the name of my card..



6) Run the './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev
directory.
   Skip this step, if you have already /dev/snd/* files, or if you're
   using a DEVFS or udev.

7) Edit your kernel module config (either /etc/modprobe.conf or
   /etc/modules.conf, depending on the kernel version). If you are not
   sure, what to do, you may try the alsaconf script available in
   the alsa-utils package.

8) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card.
   Note: All ALSA ISA drivers support ISA PnP natively, so you don't need
         isapnptools any more.  Don't use both together.  It will
         conflict.  For disabling the ALSA ISA PnP support, specify
         --with-isapnp=no configure switch.
