Very Computer

Hi,

I just can't install my soundcard. I follow every step of the
alsa-project website. I can't go through the "modprobe" step. Debian
just return that it can't find module fm801. It is very annoying. Can
somebody help me ?

Thanks in advance,
Soriyath S.

... make /model of soundcard and machine's other h/w  items

Thanks a lot. But I can't understand "h/w" ? is "/model" a command ?

I have Debian 3. There's something with a module soundcore, which is
installed as a module. Everything goes fine, except that "modprobe
snd-fm801" doesn't work. The error message is "Can't find module :
snd-fm801". I also tried "snd-cards-fm801", but it doesn't work. I
installed (./configure --options;make;make install) and everything
worked (for alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils). I tried with
Alsa-0.5.12 and Alsa-0.9rc .

Hope that you can help me more. Thank you.

He needs the make and model of your soundcard. h/w means hardware.

You need to read throughly the Alsa documention to find out
how to set up your card.

uuuumm. make/model means: "make" is manufacturer and "model" means
the specific item from the manufacturer. for example:
"porsche" is the 'make' and "911" is the 'model'.
"smc" is the 'make' and "SMC1244TX" is the 'model' of NIC

... h/w is an abbreviation for "hardware"  (think: HardWare)
