[Alsa-user] plz help w/SiS 730's 7018 / trident PCI

Hi,
for the past few hours I've been battling with my onboard-audio Asus
A7S-VM mobo w/SIS-730 chipset [ SiS PCI 7018 ], which I hear is a trident
chip or equivalent.
I have out-of-the box Mandrake 8.0 2.4.3-20mdk, which is built with
alsa.
When my modules.conf contained
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-trident
post-install snd-card-trident modprobe snd-pcm-oss
I've been getting in syslog :
kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:01.4
kernel: PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:0e.0
kernel: snd: trid: ReadAC97 ERROR ac97 register TIMEOUT!!!
kernel: snd: trid: ReadAC97 ERROR ac97 register TIMEOUT!!!
kernel: snd: The AC'97 access is not valid, removing mixer.
kernel: snd: Trident 4DWave PCI soundcard #1 not found or device busy
then I've moved 00:0e.0 to INT10 and 00:01.4 to INT9, and am thusly
getting :
kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:01.4
kernel: snd: trid: ReadAC97 ERROR ac97 register TIMEOUT!!!
kernel: snd: trid: ReadAC97 ERROR ac97 register TIMEOUT!!!
kernel: snd: The AC'97 access is not valid, removing mixer.
kernel: snd: Trident 4DWave PCI soundcard #1 not found or device busy
so I tried the non-alsa trident : modules.conf :
alias synth0 trident
alias sound-slot-0 trident
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-6 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
loading the default kernel trident module gives me :
kernel: Trident 4DWave/SiS 7018/ALi 5451 PCI Audio, version 0.14.6, 23:13:20 Apr 15 2001
kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:01.4
kernel: trident: SiS 7018 PCI Audio found at IO 0xd400, IRQ 9
kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x414c (Unknown)
since it's not the alsa module, I guess that's why I am getting :
# alsamixer
alsamixer: failed to open mixer #0/#0: No such file or directory
but still :
# cat /dev/sndstat
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device
Now I can open the mixer (aumix) and fiddle with setting, and hear my
microphone echo into speakers, but no sound goes in/out of /dev/dsp nor
/dev/audio.
help please !
Is there a step-by-step guide which guides me to setup a driver ?
(Especially in the mixed env, where I have to use non-alsa low lever
driver.) I'm presuming that the Sound-HOWTO which was last updated March
1999 is not valid under ALSA environment.
Thx,
Jan
PS: where can I read what module is what for, what is its interface and
what does it do ? I.e. I'm confused as to whether / how can I load
non-alsa lowlevel trident and still use any drivers from under alsa
(i.e. snd-pcm-oss is at /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/alsa/snd-pcm-oss.o.gz )
Is there a document somewhere which describes what all these modules do
and how the fit together ? - Thx !
