[Alsa-user] CMI8738 sound card on Asus A7M266DDR

[rod <wj...@sb...>]

Hi,
I am a newbie for linux, which is Mandrake 9.0.
My sound output volume is very low and have tried to improve it in many=20
different ways. The sound card is still working perfect under WindowsXP.

First of all, I like ask you to help me with the parameters for my CMI873=
8=20
sound card when I make the configure file for the linux kernel.

The following is the default parameters. I wonder if the default
parameters have to be changed to make the sound module work properly.
Is there any tool I can use to probe the sound card to find out which
parameters I should choose?

<M> C-Media PCI (CMI8338/8738)
[*] Enable legacy FM
(388)    FM I/O 388, 3C8, 3E0, 3E8
[*] Enable legacy MPU-401
(330)    MPU-401 I/O 330, 320, 310, 300
[*] Enable joystick
[*] Support CMI8738 based audio cards
[  ]     Inverse S/PDIF in for CMI8738
[*]     Enable S/PDIF loop for CMI8738

The reason why I am concerned about the parameters is that I got the foll=
owing=20
error messages after compiling the kernel-2.4.19-16, the ALSA driver, lib=
 and=20
utils.=20

[root@localhost alsa-utils]# modprobe snd-cmipci

/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.o.gz: init_module: =
No=20
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, includi=
ng=20
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.o.=
gz=20
failed
modprobe: insmod snd-cmipci failed

I have no problem with the following commands
modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe snd-mixer-oss; modprobe snd-seq-oss=20

Any help will be appreciated.=20
