[edit]

IntroductionThis HOWTO is based on the following thread from Gentoo Forums, started by -=GGW=- $ol!d $n4>|e. This article is devoted to all people with nvidia's SoundStorm integrated on motherboard and willing to obtain hardware sound mixing with ALSA.

[edit]

Comment: This HOWTO is not correct. The nvidia kernel module is for the Open Sound System and not alsa related. So skip the parts where alsa gets configured. Read at the bottom of this page what needs to be done or check the Release notes.

[edit]

Preparing Kernel 2.6First we have to change directory to /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig in order to configure our kernel

# cd /usr/src/linux

# make menuconfig

You need to have these things checked as built in, not modular.

Linux Kernel Configuration: Kernel Configuration

Device Drivers --->

Sound --->

<*> Sound card support

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->

<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

<*> Sequencer support

<*> OSS Mixer API

<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API

PCI devices --->

<*> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller

Open Sound System --->

<*> Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)

<*> VIA 82C686 Audio Codec

Assuming there have been changes in your kernel's configuration you will have to recompile it and install, otherwise you can pass to the next paragraph

# make && make modules_install

# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6

# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6

# cp .config /boot/config-2.6

After that you need to reload your kernel which simply means rebooting

# reboot

[edit]

Inserting nvsound moduleNow you need to get nForce2 precompiled drivers provided by nvidia. You can download it form http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html and install manually yet as we are using Gentoo Linux, the most convenient way is to use Portage :D

# emerge nforce-audio

Next you will be most probably able to load your newly created module nvsound . Let's pray and let's test it

# modprobe nvsound

# modules-update

If no ugly message appears the module works :) To remove module just type:

# rmmod nvsound

Note: After each more serious recompilation of your kernel you will also have to reemerge (reinstall) nvsound module.

[edit]

System configurationConfigure /etc/modules.d/alsa

File: /etc/modules.d/alsa

# ALSA portion

alias char-major-116 snd

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

# OSS/Free portion

alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

# OSS/Free portion - card #1

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss

alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss

alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss

alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

options snd cards_limit=1

To be safe, check to make sure /etc/devfsd.conf is set up properly

File: /etc/devfsd.conf

# ALSA/OSS stuff

# Comment/change these if you want to change the permissions on

# the audio devices

LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd

LOOKUP dsp MODLOAD

LOOKUP mixer MODLOAD

LOOKUP midi MODLOAD

REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660

in order to have nvsound loaded at boot add nvsound into your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

echo "nvsound" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Note: Since nvsound takes care of hw mixing there is no need to set up a /.asoundrc config file for dmixing. Infact, setting one up will break the built in hwmixing and cause conflicts with some programs.

[edit]

ALSA/OSS mixersIn order to be able to save and restore your alsa mixer level you have to:

# emerge alsa-utils

# emerge alsa-oss

Now since the original /etc/init.d/alsasound will attempt to load modules that are all ready taken car of nvidia and will spit out long annoying ugly looking warning and erros at you when you boot up, we use a modified version of the script.

File: /etc/init.d/alsasound

#!/sbin/runscript

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsasound,v 1.23 2005/04/21 09:07:45 eradicator Exp $

alsactl=/usr/sbin/alsactl

asoundcfg=/etc/asound.state

opts="${opts} save"

depend() {

need bootmisc localmount

after modules isapnp coldplug hotplug

}

restore_mixer() {

ebegin "Restoring Mixer Levels"

local val=0

if [[ ! -r ${asoundcfg} ]] ; then

ewarn "No mixer config in ${asoundcfg}, you have to unmute your card!"

elif [[ -x ${alsactl} ]] ; then

local CARDS="$(cat /proc/asound/cards | awk '/: / { print $1 }')"

local CARDNUM

for CARDNUM in ${CARDS}

do

[[ -e /dev/snd/controlC0 ]] || sleep 2

[[ -e /dev/snd/controlC0 ]] || sleep 2

[[ -e /dev/snd/controlC0 ]] || sleep 2

[[ -e /dev/snd/controlC0 ]] || sleep 2

${alsactl} -f ${asoundcfg} restore ${CARDNUM}

((val=val+$?))

done

else

eerror -e "ERROR: Cannot find alsactl, did you forget to install media-sound/alsa-utils?"

val=1

fi

eend ${val}

return ${val}

}

save() {

ebegin "Storing ALSA Mixer Levels"

local val=0

if [[ -x ${alsactl} ]] ; then

${alsactl} -f ${asoundcfg} store

val=$?

else

eerror -e "ERROR: Cannot find alsactl."

val=1

fi

eend ${val}

return ${val}

}

start() {

restore_mixer

}

stop() {

save

}

Use your favorite text editor to make that and save it as root in /etc/init.d/ as alsarestore (or whatever you want it to be called). For the purpose of this guide I will assume you named it alsarestore.

In order to make the boot script executable, as root do

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/alsarestore

Now we add the script to the boot run level

# rc-update add alsarestore boot

Next you have to unmute your channels.

# amixer set Master 100% unmute

# amixer set PCM 100% unmute

Activate the script so that it will store the sound state

# /etc/init.d/alsarestore start

Just to be safe

# alsactl store

[edit]

Known problemsHardware mixing works only with ALSA, OSS using programs will block sound device. Although this may seem not related to sound, people with nForce2 motherboards in order to get USB keyboard/mouse properly working should check in kernel configuration OHCI HCD Support instead of UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support As well as that if you use nForce2 LAN Controler you should check Reverse Engineered nForce Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)

[edit]

This guide is all wrong The new nvsound module is OSS only and supports hardware-mixing. You don't need any of the alsa stuff in the kernel. You just need to enable "Open Sound System" in the linux-kernel. Then emerge nforce-audio and load the nvsound module. Use nvmixer to set up your speaker options. To store the settings and get them loaded after a reboot, add the following to "/etc/conf.d/local.start"

/usr/bin/nvmix-reg -f /etc/nvmixrc -L >/dev/null 1>&2

You don't need to start alsa at boot. (do 'rc-update del alsasound')
