Testet with gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8 em8300-modules-0.16.0_rc2 does not install correctly. => cd modules as first statement in install() missing. after fixing this issue, furhter problems arise: - Audio module can not be determined - Missing module(s)
Created attachment 102508 [details] More detailed failure analysis
Should be fixed now. Sync and emerge em8300-modules again. I also added /usr/sbin/em8300-devices.sh which creates /dev entries if those are missing, and you seemed to miss one according to your attachment.. Try running it please and see if it solves your 'audio problem'. Reopen bug if new problems arise.
ebuild seems to do installation now correctly. But there still seems to be a problem with this ebuild: > # em8300setup > Microcode uploaded to /dev/em8300-0 > Current settings are: > Cannot read audio : em8300 Driver returned 22 (unknown) > Video Aspect Audio Spu > PAL 4:3 ??? ON What does "em8300 Driver returned 22" mean? Is this prior or a consequence of the /dev/em8300-0_ma missing? With version 0.15.3 under kernel 2.6.16 everything went right
Another guy had same problem as you, he resolved it by: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-vdr: < wariat> Marvin ~ # modprobe -v em8300 audio_driver=osslike Basically he gave module audio_driver=osslike parameter and then em8300setup worked for him. For me it works without parameters, see: Microcode uploaded to /dev/em8300-0 Current settings are: Video Aspect Audio Spu PAL 4:3 ANALOG ON So it's not a bug but a misconfiguration. Too called dxr3config might be also help for you, not in portage yet but coming. See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144034
Apparently he also used smthing like this: < wariat> Marvin ~ # em8300setup -p -d -S but I'd look at "man em8300setup"
