- Quick install
- =============
- 1) You must have full configured source for the Linux kernel which you
- want to use for the ALSA drivers. Note that ALSA drivers are part
- of the kernel, so there is necessary to resolve all symbol dependencies
- between the used kernel and ALSA driver code. Partly installed kernels
- (for example from distributor makers) can be unuseable for this action.
- 2) You must turn on sound support (soundcore module).
- 3) Run './configure' script.
- If you have ISA Plug & Play soundcard, use --with-isapnp=yes switch.
- If you want sequencer support, use --with-sequencer=yes switch.
- If you do not want OSS/Free emulation, use --with-oss=no switch.
- If you want turn on debug mode use --with-debug=full switch.
- If you want debug soundcard detection try --with-debug=detect switch.
- If you have kernel source code in another directory than /usr/src/linux,
- use --with-kernel=<kernel_directory>.
- Example: ./configure --with-isapnp=yes --with-debug=full
- 4) Run 'make install'.
- 5) Run the './snddevices' script to create new sound devices in /dev directory.
- Skip this step, if you have a kernel with the DEVFS support.
- 6) Edit your /etc/modules.conf (see the kmod support section below).
- 7) Run 'modprobe snd-xxxx' where xxxx is the name of your card.
- Note: If you have a ISA PnP soundcard you need to first run the isapnp
- program from isapnptools package to initialize your
- soundcard. You can also use the native ISA PnP support by
- using the --with-isapnp=yes configuration switch, in which
- case you do not need the isapnptools package.
- You can also look at the utils/alsasound file. This script is designed for
- the RedHat distribution, but it can be used with other distributions which
- use System V style rc init scripts.
- Note: All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native
- or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels (for example a
- mixer from the alsa-utils package).
- Note: This document notices the /etc/modules.conf file. Many current
- distributions uses the old /etc/conf.modules file. Both names are
- valid.
