Enabling Sound on IA-1 running Jailbait..

Now that i have jailbait up and running, its time to play music off my network.

Here's my questions:

1) Does anyone know whats causing the sound codec initilization error when booting.

2) Does anyone have any information regarding the sound hardware used and/or drivers. (Please post links if possible).


Thanks.

This link at Asus http://www.asus.com/products/motherboard/driver_audio.html#via is where I downloaded the Windows 98 driver. They list a Linux driver but I haven't tested it.

the .zip file contains precompiled modules for Caldera and Red Hat, but only up to kernel 2.2.14... these modules will definitely barf when you try to load under Jailbait, which uses 2.4.0test1-pre...

when i get the chance, i'll build 2.4 and the 'missing' opl3.o module to see if it enables sound (the driver 'almost' configures, and the sound hardware is recognized by the existing Jailbait sound modules)... if i'm off base, then it's back to square one!

sound would be nice on the IA-1 with Linux!

That would be great!.

It seems that the 2.4.9 patch mentions the STAC9744 specificily, you may want to take a look.

http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/patch/patch-2.4.9/linux/drivers/sound/ac97_codec.c.html

Thanks for the info.

BTW, for those looking for the windows drivers, they are on the asus site too. for some reason their ftp server doesnt respond, but you can get them of the asus chaina web site, just do a google search on the zip file name, it will come up. there are about 10 mirrors.
