snd_ac97_codec

Hi all,

I have some snd_ac97_codec running on my Arch(after I reinstalled it yesterday), which I want to remove and use ALSA instead. When I open gnome volume control it shows:

Device: Realtek ALC850 rev 0 (OSS mixer)

I removed OSS and installed the ALSA packages - but still no effect. Even after alsaconf.

How can I remove this codec and install ALSA?

Here is also some part of my lsmod:
...
snd_seq_device          6768  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi
ac97_bus                1540  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm                73672  5 snd_cs4236,snd_wss_lib,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss,snd_ac97_codec
...

Thanks

Re: snd_ac97_codec

Better check your rc.conf file and your daemons to make sure that alsa is in there.
Ex:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal @network netfs @crond @alsa )

Then after adding that daemon restart your computer or start alsa using the

/etc/rc.d/alsa start

If it hasn't worked so far, type "alsamixer" in the terminal.
Then unmute your master/pcm with "m", also check the version(F2)+enter.

Good luck.

Hi thanks, but that was already done. Anyway I solved the problem:

pacman -Syu

Thanks again
