Ubuntu sound modules missing [message #21660]

I decided to put openvz on my main desktop system. I had been successful with putting it on a server and didn't pay much attention to the sound on that system. I did notice it didn't work but sort of figured I had kicked the speaker plug loose or something. Now that I have an OpenVz kernel on my desktop, I see it doesn't make noise either. I tried to modprobe the modules in, but there aren't any!

Do I have to go off and create my own kernel? If so, is the default .config file laying around somewhere? My biggest problem with generating a kernel is getting all the settings right. Didn't used to be problem 'cause I knew what the hardware supported. Now there is so much more that I have no idea what the hardware is capable of.

Thanks,
Jim.

Hello Jim,

could you please specify which kernel do you use?
For example, we didn't have sound modules in 2.6.9-x kernels but in RHEL5 based kernels we do have them.

In general you can find configs for diffetent kernels here:

Hope this helps.

The latest stable kernel, I think:
vmlinux-2.6.18-ovz028stab045.1-smp

Since this is basically a Ubuntu system, is there any reason to even try one of the RHEL kernels? In other words, is it know that it won't work so don't try?

Thanks,
Jim.

Well, looks like mainsteam 2.6.18-x kernels have SOUND disabled at all, so it makes sense to try a RHEL5 based kernel.

# Sound

# CONFIG_SOUND is not set

Have you tried the third-party, binary Debian kernels that are available? They might have sound compiled in, I'm not sure. You can find them here:
