Yamaha DS-XG soundcard problem

[Colin Callanan]

I have followed the instructions on this website for installing Alsa for DS-XG.

I followed the instructions precisely up to the point of the "make" commands where I had to create a makefile in new directory which matched up with what Alsa was looking for (red hat 7 has a different directory structure than what alsa seems to expect).

Anyway, the bottom-line is that it compiled sound support into the kernel (I checked) but gave a "Fatal error" about how some file was already defined. Surely that should be a warning rather than a "fatal" error? So I went ahead and altered the conf.modules file and tried a modprobe -> modprobe snd-ymfpci

Now it can't find the ymfpci module, but fails to tell me where it is looking :(

Sorry I am a little clouded on some details, I'm writing all this from memory because I don't have linux in front of me.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I have the exact same problems. In fact, I've tried the same things and had no success.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem actually. I fixed it by upgrading to kernel 2.4.3. It has support for the Yamaha sound card. I got mine working, but then forgot to enable fat support. I have been trying for days to get my new kernels to work, but they just won't work! lol So now I can't get my sound card to work. But I did have it working once :)

Like my Irish name? :p

Redhat 7.0 picked up my ymf744 sound card using sndconfig.
