hello... you're all so fantastic with your support! anyways... the lsmod output:

Hmm, can't see a snd-hdsp module, it might be needed..
What happens if you try:

Code:

---

insmod /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-hdsp.o

---

(I don't have this card myself though so I'm only guessing)

it responded with:
unresolved symbol snd_hammerfall_free_buffer
etc.

thanks for your help anyway!

sorry... the topic seems missing.

I did use the insmod command, but the unresolved symbol was the result. still no sound.

On my laptop I only get sound from the Yamaha onboard AG-XG module. But the Hammerfall isn't working on that one either...

Did you try loading
snd-hammerfall-mem
and then loading
snd-hdsp

A quick google search seemed to indicate that it was necessary to load the other one first.

Today I loaded 3.3-11-19-03 on my Toshiba 2805-s401. It has a Yamaha ymf-754 which I was told by sndconfig was not supported.

I had booted from CD, then used Ctrl+Alt+F1 to view the boot info, it showed my soundcard, but also the errors that the sound.o file was missing. Booting with "knoppix alsa" option did enable the sound.

But after using the knx-hdinstall script, I received errors in kde saying that /dev/dsp did not exist or was not available.

In a root shell I ran alsa_init and watched it configure the module and load it.

Now sound works, and nicely. I tested it okay in the kde-control-center.

Thanks!
Mike

I tried it on my laptop using the cardbus (PCMCIA) for the Hammerfall. runned als_init from root shell. it shows me this:
aumix: no device found

on both my dekstop (using PCI) and laptop (using PCMCIA) I can't get my RME Hammerfall to work.

I guess I am out of luck...
