Need help getting the emulated SB16 to work in Alpine Linux #1080
-
|
By default, the snd-sb16 module doesn't even exist, just snd-sb-common and snd-sb16-dsp, so I can't modprobe it. I'm using Alpine Linux Standard with the linux-lts kernel. Installing linux-firmware-sb16 does not help. I can send my disk image if it is necessary. I would really, really, really prefer not to have to recompile the entire Linux kernel. The disk image is only 3GB and I would like for it to stay that way. If I have to, though, I will, because I'm desperate at this point. |

Thank you for your issue on https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16296, now sound works on recent linux-virt in edge branch. $ apk add linux-virt --no-cache --repository https://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
$ apk del linux-lts
# and restart.sb16.mp4(sound may be a bit of buggy (like in my demo or #1049 (comment)), but that's other problem) |

Ok, question: for me, the audio does work now in v86, but it's REALLY quiet. I've tried turning it up but it's still barely audible. What should I do? |

Nvm, fixed it by changing some settings in alsamixer |

You can replace your kernel on an installed system as follows:
$ apk add linux-virt --no-cache --repository https://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main $ apk del linux-lts # and restart.sb16.mp4
