Searched everywhere to find out how to get the sound to work on my Asus Pundit-R that I bought early december. All I could find was that it wasn't possible with the current kernel... So I just gave the last stable ALSA driver a go, and guess what... it just works

Used url: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - ATI atiixp

Here is what I did. All was done remote by using putty and the root account.

Get the files

Code:

cd /usr/src
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2

Install the driver

Code:

bunzip2 alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-driver-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-driver-1.0.7
./configure --with-cards=atiixp --with-sequencer=yes
make
make install

Install library

Code:

cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-lib-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-lib-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install

Install utils

Code:

cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar.bz2
tar -xf alsa-utils-1.0.7.tar
cd alsa-utils-1.0.7
./configure
make
make install

Insert the modules into the kernel

Code:

modprobe snd-atiixp
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss

Use alsamixer to set sound level.
*This returns this error on my machine, ignoring it:
* alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
*Mythtv will set the level.

Setup modutils

Code:

vi /etc/modutils/alsa

use i to set insert mode and quit insert mode with Esc and quit+save with :wq!
Paste the following

Quote:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

Update /etc/modules.conf

Code:

update-modules

Test it

Code:

/etc/init.d/Sound start

Now play some mp3 or divx in mythtv and you should hear sound.

Just wondering if this soundcard offers 5.1 sound, or is it just plane stereo?

The hardware is supposed to support it, but I haven't tested it, because I do not have a 5.1 speaker set...
