Are i810_audio and emu10k1 sound drivers built into the kernel 2.6?
Thanks,

Hi,
Are i810_audio and emu10k1 sound drivers built into the kernel 2.6?
No. And I can't get them to work on the box at work either as either built in or as a module :-(

I have the AC'97 sound chip that requires the module.
I run *redhat-config-soundcard* after the system loads and sound works for everything except the applet.
I get this error, but hear sound. Which module is it loading?
FATAL: Module i810_audio is not in kernel. -8
These modules seem to deal with the sound and are loaded. Module Size Used by i810_audio 28436 0 ac97_codec 16780 1 i810_audio soundcore 7872 1 i810_audio
Also, related to usb, why does my card reader work in runlevel 5 but not in runlevel 3?

Welcome to rawhide. The GUI tools haven't been updated for 2.6, so using them isn't going to get you very far.
In 2.6, there are two sets of sound drivers, the old OSS implementation from 2.4, and the new ALSA implementation. In this specific case, the i810_audio driver is the OSS driver, and should work just as well as it did in 2.4 (I manually modprobed it on my IBM T30 and then turned the volume up with aumix, and it worked just fine). However, ALSA seems to be the default, so here's how to set that up by hand:
1. You probably want to have alsa-libs and alsa-utils installed out of rawhide, just in the event you want to tune your sound a little tighter or do something more complicated than described here.
2. Add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
(note to Bill, the alias for char-major-116 should really be in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist)
3. You can either reboot or manually modprobe the drivers at this point (modprobe snd && modprobe snd-intel8x0).
4. ALSA drivers initialize with the audio channels muted, so just run aumix (the snd-oss-mixer driver autoloaded lets us do this) and turn the Volume, PCM, and Speaker settings up to where you're comfy. Then open xmms and play your favorite ogg file. :)
ALSA has pretty good documentation for this process (albeit, specific to 2.4) on their website, the links are below. You won't need to worry about compiling the utils, libs, or kernel drivers, and several of the module alias definitions are already defined in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist (and remember, all 2.6 module aliases go in /etc/modprobe.conf, *NOT* /etc/modules.conf). If you s/modules.conf/modprobe.conf, then you've got the 2.6 instructions.

choose soundcard by manufacturer for specific instructions: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
This works like a charm for me on my IBM T30.
