在RH7.3下如何安装"速时捷"夜莺4声道声卡(讨论)

bomberxjl

我想用这种声卡的人应该不会少吧(或者是这种芯片:CMI8738),所以讨论一下解决的办法吧!
在系统默认的驱动下,声卡可以使用,效果还行,只是发挥不出多声道的特色,所以有升级的必要!
我今天在速时捷的主站找到了官方提供的驱动,可惜看了看 Readme说是要Rebuild kernel,我是菜鸟,不敢乱动,希望大家能帮忙,版主也帮帮忙啊!
把Readme的内容附在下面:
Audio driver for CM8338/CM8738 chips by Chen-Li Tien


HARDWARE SUPPORTED
================================================================================
C-Media CMI8338
C-Media CMI8738
On-board C-Media chips


STEPS TO BUILD DRIVER
================================================================================

  1. Backup the Config.in and Makefile in the sound driver directory
     (/usr/src/linux/driver/sound).
     The Configure.help provide help when you config driver in step
     4, please backup the original one (/usr/src/linux/Document) and
     copy this file.
     The cmpci is document for the driver in detail, please copy it
     to /usr/src/linux/Document/sound so you can refer it. Backup if
     there is already one.

  2. Extract the tar file by 'tar xvzf cmpci-xx.tar.gz' in the above
     directory.

  3. Change directory to /usr/src/linux

  4. Config cm8338 driver by 'make menuconfig', 'make config' or
     'make xconfig' command.

  5. Please select Sound Card (CONFIG_SOUND=m) support and CMPCI
     driver (CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI=m) as modules. Resident mode not tested.
     For driver option, please refer 'DRIVER PARAMETER'

  6. Compile the kernel if necessary.

  7. Compile the modules by 'make modules'.

  8. Install the modules by 'make modules_install'


INSTALL DRIVER
================================================================================

  1. Before first time to run the driver, create module dependency by
     'depmod -a'

  2. To install the driver manually, enter 'modprobe cmpci'.

  3. Driver installation for various distributions:

    a. Slackware 4.0
       Add the 'modprobe cmpci' command in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
       file.so you can start the driver automatically each time booting.

    b. Caldera OpenLinux 2.2
       Use LISA to load the cmpci module.

    c. RedHat 6.0 and S.u.S.E. 6.1
       Add following command in /etc/conf.modules:

       alias sound cmpci



DRIVER PARAMETER
================================================================================

  Some functions for the cm8738 can be configured in Kernel Configuration
  or modules parameters. Set these parameters to 1 to enable.

  mpu_io:        I/O ports base for MPU-401, 0 if disabled.
  fm_io:        I/O ports base for OPL-3, 0 if disabled.
  spdif_inverse:Inverse the S/PDIF-in signal, this depends on your
                CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
  spdif_loop:   Enable S/PDIF loop, this route S/PDIF-in to S/PDIF-out
                directly.
  speakers:     Number of speakers used.
  use_line_as_rear:Enable this if you want to use line-in as
                rear-out.
  use_line_as_bass:Enable this if you want to use line-in as
                bass-out.
  modem:        You will need to set this parameter if you want to use
                the HSP modem. You need install the pctel.o, the modem
                driver itself.
  joystick:        Enable joystick. You will need to install Linux joystick
                driver.

这个驱动看样子是太老了，不能被RedHat 7.3所支持。
另外，声卡是什么样的，要看芯片，品牌不是重要的。。
打开机箱看一下。另外8738也能兼容吧。。系统本来就有这个驱动。。
#setup
有配置声卡的，然后找一下面的这个。。。

能在linux支持多声道播放的声卡还很少。如果通过升级驱动使cmi8738支持4声道倒是不错的。
