intel8x0 module - where do I get it

I'm currently struggling to configure ALSA and noticed that I do not have the intel8x0 module (and  several others that I think are relevant) installed. Well, I searched the package database (core/extra/community) but couldn't find anything.

So, is there any package that contains the intel8x0 kernel module?

Thanks in advance

alsa? your sound card?
probably this may help you, just "insmod snd_intel8x0"
I think it's with the kernel in the official repositories.

Not really. My problem is not that I don't know how to insert the module once I got it but that I don't know where to get it (which package contains it) in the first place.

The kernel (kernel26 package) contains it.

Re: intel8x0 module - where do I get it

Weird, I of course have the kernel26 package installed. Any ideas?

Here is the output of lsmod (as you can see there is no intel8x0 module):

Re: intel8x0 module - where do I get it

Here is the output of lsmod (as you can see there is no intel8x0 module):

Sure it is so, lsmod shows only the loaded modules.

Try with:

# modprobe -l | grep intel8x0

If it pops out, just follow the ALSA wiki page and try to setup correctly your sound card.

[Edit]
Try to find out also with pacman if it's correctly installed and where with

# pacman -Ql kernel26 | grep intel

Heh, learning more Linux every day

Anyways:

modprobe -l | grep intel8x0

found nothing while

pacman -Ql kernel26 | grep intel8x0

returned

kernel26 /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko
kernel26 /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0m.ko
kernel26 /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-ARCH/include/config/snd/intel8x0.h
kernel26 /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-ARCH/include/config/snd/intel8x0m.h

I checked an these files do indeed exist.

Re: intel8x0 module - where do I get it

modprobe -l | grep intel8x0

Try again after launch this command

# depmod -ae

this reconstruct the database and the dependencies for the kernel modules.

kernel26 /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko

So you have the module. After the depmod, you should be able to load that with

# modprobe snd-intel8x0

Re: intel8x0 module - where do I get it

I think you have OSS4 installed .
OSS4 installs its own modules and disables Alsa modules .
