Riptide sound drivers

[hfashina]

Hi, I'm new to linux and I need help installing drivers for my soundcard on my Hp Pavilion 8750C

I have what I am told is a Riptide Modem/Fax/Soundcard. I don't care about the modem and fax but I want the sound to work.

I have been searching forums looking for a solution. One post suggested going to

http://alsa.cvs.sourceforge.net/alsa...efile?view=log

http://alsa.cvs.sourceforge.net/alsa...r/pci/riptide/

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/m...sg_id=12507496

But I have no idea what all this stuff is. I am running Debian Linux and any help would be appreciated

As a note, when i try and run the installer found on the linuxant.com website, i get an error and this log

Hi
Try this link http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php
and they have the file you need riptide-0.6lnxtbeta03122800.tar.gz
you will need to compile, View the ReadMe on the install

I have an hp pavilion 6470z with the riptide sound/modem combo card. It does not seem to show up on either lspci no lspnp (for the ISA bus), however I did get sound out to work with the old snd_sb16 dirver.

I used debian lenny. First you will need to create the devices in /dev if they do not already exist ( mine did not). The easiest way to do this is install the alsa source. Then in debian, as root, cd to /usr/src and untar the file

tar xjvf alsa-.... (sorry i'm doing this from memory )

Then cd down to modules/alsaXXX/ and run snddevices

./snddevices

Once you've created the devices just modprobe for the snd_sb16 driver with the options:

modprobe snd_sb16 index=0 port=0x220 irq=5

You will also want to chang the permission on the devices so regular users can use the sound card:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, /dev/sequencer

Your card should be working now! Not all players work (i.e. mpg123 did not), but most do. Also it seems the mixers don't work either (e.g. alsamixer, gmix) What I found did work was mpg321, Rhythmbox, and flash 10. I was also able control the volume in software only.

I will update this post later with the full commands and paths I used.
