Download all three of the dot-pets provided above, then install them in the order shown below:
For each one, go
1. Right-click "Download" in the forum dialog box.
2. Open in New Tab.
3. A dialog box willl appear, titled "Opening alsa...pet"
--Left-click "Save it to disk," then "OK"
4. On the first one (choose ALSA-lib-1.0.12rc1.pet), do the following (not necessary on the two others):
--Click "Browse for other folders"
--Click "root" button, then "my-applications", then "Save" (if you are in 2.14 using the jwm windowmanager, you may have to drag the window up a bit to see the "Save" button).
5. On the second two (alsaconf-original.pet and ALSA-utils-1.0.12rc1.pet), just click Save, the dialog box will already point to /root/my-applications.
6. After you download all three, now open a Rox window, go to /root/my-applications, and left-click-and-install them in this order:
ALSA-lib-1.0.12rc1.pet
alsaconf-original.pet
ALSA-utils-1.0.12rc1.pet
7. Menu - Shutdown - Restart X Server.
8. Menu - Utility - rxvt and issue the command
fixmenus
9. Again do Menu - Shutdown - Restart X Server.
Now you can do Menu - Setup - ALSA sound wizard.
I've tried this on a P3 running 2.14 and a P4 running 2.15CE-Final (patched) and it works; the P3 had the can't-find-ESS1868-ISA-card issue, and this cures it. Please note that it does take a few seconds for the "Driver Selection" window to appear, if you don't have a PCI card and choose to "Probe ISA cards."

SHS had a different sound card, and the .pets maybe earlier?, but what he did, including 'fixmenus', should work for you.....
....then try the new alsa
If you run
Code: Select all
lspci
soundcards can be notoriously tricky as many different chipsets were used on the same cards
we need to know exactly what is being seen, if any, as to why its trying to load SB driver - that's a legacy ISA device I think??
post the output of lspci here
did you try the 214x9 by ttuuxxx?
I had a reply from him, -I think he believes sound will be ok, but he's not familiar with your PC and doesn't have one for testing, so, you are his guineapig tester...
