nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
heya!
can't seem to get my nforce drivers to install. it starts to build for my kernal, gets to 100% then displays that it didn't install properly. I'm sorta a newb as well (though I DID get this computers sound working just fine in SuSe 9.1), so I can't make head nor tail from this error. (Note: I don't know how to recompile a kernal yet... if I need to do that, please include how.) Thanks a ton in advance! Code:

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
So I spent some time and saw that nvidia is no longer supporting newer distros for the nforce2 line.
I read that ALSA can be configured.. however I am running the digital output from the sound card to a reciever. I've tried a few suggestions but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone a suggestion of how I would set it up? I'm currently running kernal 2.6.16.13-4-default if that helps. |

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
Ok... hours later and still no luck at all. here's what I've come up with from all my reading. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated... it's been a real quiet last few days *chuckles*

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
Well, I've wasted over 12 hours on this problem. Time for another solution.
Can anyone suggest a spu for a PCI slot that is easy to get working in linux/supported? Note that I'm using SPDIF output to a digital receiver. Greatly appreciated folks! |

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
Creative AudigyZS has had excellent detection on on Suse10.1, FC5 (which Im using now) and Ubuntu for me. Dont have to do anything, it just works. It doesnt have SPDIF though, all the audigys are well supported to my knowlegde.
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...ve_Labs#matrix I guess it does have spdif support ( It has a digital 1/8 jack, I always saw spdif as rca connection) Probably get a adapter for your amp though. Good luck http://www.creative.com/products/pro...uct=4915&nav=2 |

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1 *FIXED!*
Hopefully this will help anyone else that has severe issues getting SPDIF working.
NOTE: This is still not a complete fix... many sound applications still are not working as they require OSS. The OSS emulation DOES NOT and will not work due to the SPDIF being device 2 (oss emulation only handles devices 0 and 1) unless you're one of the lucky folk who happen to have your device set to 0 or 1. If any has information on how to set up OSS with SPDIF, kindly message me  First, make sure you have the newest ALSA available and run the following as root: # alsaconf Follow the simple instructions, when it asks if you want modprobe.conf to be set up, select yes. Now, go back into a shell: # cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Make sure you have something along the following there: Code:
Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: NVidia nForce2 with ALC650E at 0xe4081000, irq 193 MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10 next: # cat /proc/asound/cards this will list your card(s). make a note of which card you want to be configured as your main sound card. (usually will be 0). then: # cat /proc/asound/pcm Look for the device here that has either IEC958 or spdif, you'll want to pay attention to the second set of numbers. That identifies the device number. In my example, device 2 is my digital out: Code:
linux-j4rh:/usr/include # cat /proc/asound/pcm 00-02: Intel ICH - IEC958 : NVidia nForce2 - IEC958 : playback 1 <<<------ this one! 00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : NVidia nForce2 - MIC ADC : capture 1 00-00: Intel ICH : NVidia nForce2 : playback 1 : capture 1 # pico /etc/.asoundrc and put the following: Code:
pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0 #### Insert your card number from cat /proc/asound/cards
device 2 #### Insert your device number from cat /proc/asound/pcm
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "nforce"
}
#0,0 is analog out (i.e. headphone socket on the shuttle), and 0,1 is
#spdif out.
pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,2" #### Insert card number, device number
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 32768
rate 48000
}
}
ctl.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0 #### Insert your card number from cat /proc/asound/cards
device 2 #### Insert your device number from cat /proc/asound/pcm
}
Now you'll need to configure all your sound programs (xmms, xine, etc) to run ALSA. You'll see a setting for PCM (sometimes called audio device). You'll want to set it as follows: hw:0,2 where the first number is your card number, second is device number. NOTE: This is for my setup using an A7N8X Deluxe. Your milage may vary but this should theoretically work for most other cards. Hope this helps someone!! |

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
Thanks for the help! I actually got sound out of my Asus A7N8X Deluxe in SUSE 10.1, YEAH!!! I am using Xine with the extended options selected. I am not getting digital output though, only stereo. I have a coaxial cable going from my mother board to a Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 decoder (5.1 surround). I have put "hw:0,2" in pretty much every place I could in Xine. Any thoughts?

Is your center channel working? if not, use $ alsamixer or $ alsamixergui and find where the center channel is, unmute it, and adjust according to your tastes As for the 5.1, once I get it working, I shall post it here. I've got a few things to try when I find the time. I'm also trying to get the multi-channel thing working (I think that's the term... i.e. play xmms music at the same time as a cedega game), more on that as I figure it out.

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
No I am not getting any sound out of my center channel. I used alsamixer and the volume under the "Center" is 100% and not muted. I also discovered lastnight something interesting while configuring Amarok with the Xine engine:
In Amarok 1.4.1-beta1 I went to Settings -> Configure Amarok. . . -> Engine In the top pull down menu I selected the "Xine enigne" as the Sound System. There are four options under "ALSA Device Configuration" Mono: Stereo: 4 Channels: 6 Channels: I started off by putting "hw:0,2" in the "6 Channels" spot. When I tried to play the example file I got the following the error: "Audio Output Unavailable; the device is busy" When I put "hw:0,2" in the stereo, I got sound from my front left and front right speakers, just like the actual Xine player. Based on your previous postings it made it sound like you got the digital output to work. But then you said you still haven't gotten 5.1 to work? I was a little confused by that statement. The Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 decoder I am using has a green light at the bottom of the unit that illuminates when it senses a digital signal. With the old nVIDIA drivers that light was always on from startup, and the 5.1 sound worked great. However, it has never come on, even when I get the stereo sound. Just thought you might like to know. Thanks again for your help, it is great to have sound back even if it is only stereo. PS - I really wish nVIDIA would make a new nFORCE driver, or at least give a detailed step-by-step instruction manual on how to get digital audio with the nForce 2, SoundStorm chipset. In every post I read about this problem, the wonderful advice from the nVIDIA representative is to "use the built in audio framework in the current kernel for sound." Well great, how about a little more help! Anyway, I am rambling now...
