This helped. I got the audio to work by uninstalling the linuxant hsfmodem and rebooting. I'd like to be able to eliminate the rebooting. I've edited 'lspci -k' to show only the audio device and the modem. After 'make install' and rebooting sound does not work: lspci -k 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 03:00.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem Kernel driver in use: hsfpcibasic2 Kernel modules: hsfpcibasic2 After 'make uninstall' and reboot sound works: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel 03:00.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem After 'make install', reboot, 'make uninstall', there is still no sound but a kernel module has appeared: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel 03:00.0 Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem lspci shows the kernel module for the audio device, but not the kernel driver. Is it possible to force the kernel driver 'HDA Intel' to load without having to reboot? I've tried 'modprobe snd-hda-intel' with no luck. Thanks, Kurt Kehler kmk at pa dot net

If the kernel thinks that this is the right module and if the driver is loaded, if should try to attach to the device. If that fails, there should be an error message in the log. If rebooting helps, it's likely that the hsfpcibasic2 driver changes the audio device's configuration. However, it might be possible to tell the snd-hda-intel driver to initialize its device properly. Regards, Clemens

The driver comes with a shell script called hsfconfig, which must be run after 'make install' to complete the installation. hsfconfig asks: Would you like to use the replacement HDA modules? [yes] I typed 'no' and all is fine, the audio survives a reboot. Previously I had always selected the default 'yes' option. hsfconfig also has (among others) these options: -r, --remove Remove serial devices and kernel modules -k, --kernel Build and install kernel modules -s, --serial Install serial port devices By playing with these, rmmod'ing all the sound modules and rerunning /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa it is possible to make the audio work even if you answer 'yes' to the above. Thanks for you help. Kurt |
