Can't find soundcore module

As directed by this ALSA setup page for my intel i810 integrated sound card:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/do … e=intel8x0
I need to load soundcore.
However, when I type in

modinfo soundcore

I get

modinfo: soundcore: no module by that name found

.

Soundcore isn't in my sound driver directory, nor can I find an option in kernel24's "config" for it.

Help!  How can I get soundcore!?

Re: Can't find soundcore module

I'm not sure about the sound core thing, but could tell you what i did since we have similar cards.

Add snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss to yrou modules line in rc.conf like so

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss nvidia)

be sure this is in your modprobe.conf

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
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-0-4 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/sequencer snd-seq-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss

And be sure the following in
/etc/devfsd.conf for alsa appears like so

# ALSA Permissions
REGISTER        sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.sound 660
REGISTER        snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.sound 660

be sure to unmute your devices after reboot.

Re: Can't find soundcore module

soundcore is better know as sound.

modprobe sound

that being said loading alsa modules will often drag in the OSS sound module with it. if it doesn't then loading snd-pcm-oss likely would.

Re: Can't find soundcore module

If you're running 2.4, then soundcore is built in, you don't want to load it.  If you're running 2.6, then it exists as a module.

Re: Can't find soundcore module

Ok...I wish the alsa page had mentioned that soundcore was aka sound.
I've got another problem w/alsa which I'm starting on another string: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=18827#18827
