      CMI8x38 Driver For S.u.S.E 6.1 Installation Steps

       

      1. S.u.S.E 6.1 does not have CMI8x38 Driver built-in.

      2. Copy the sound card driver to “/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound” directory.

              Suppose the driver is provided in a floppy disk, execute the mount floppy command to read the content of disk.

      #mount –t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy

              Copy the driver to the following directory (example given in “cp” command in console):

      #cp /mnt/floppy/cmpci-2.41.tar.gz /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound

      3. Decompress the driver files

      Locate the directory where Sound Driver is situated.

      #cd usr/src/linux/drivers/sound

      Execute the “tar” command to decompress the driver files:

      #tar xvzf cmpci-2.41.tar.gz

      4. Build Driver

      #cd /usr/src/linux

      #make menuconfig

            Linux Kernel Configuration
           
            ↓
           
            Sound

            <Select>
           
            ↓
           
            <M>Support for CMEDIA PCI audio Chips

            Press “M” to edit and configure this item as a module
           
            ↓
           
            Exit and save the configuration
           

      #make dep

      #make modules

      #make modules_install

      #depmod –a

      5. Configuring the 4 channels parameters:

      Use the vi text-editor to modify the /etc/conf.modules configuraiton file.

      #vi /etc/conf.modules

      Execute the “a” command to modify and add-in the following line:

      ”options cmpci four_ch=1”

      Press ESC and key in “:wq” to save and exit the vi editor

       

      6. Reboot your system when configuration is done.

      #reboot

       

      7. Manually load CMI8x38 driver.

      #modprobe cmpci

       

      8. Execute the “play” command to test Wave files. You should be able to hear 4 channel sound effect.
