I have a motherboard Gigabyte GA P55A UD3R wiht a integrated sound card Realtek ALC 889.

Thing is its impossible for me to install the sound driver with the various solutions provided by the linux community.

I wonder if pve kernel can support sound drivers since

lsmod | grep snd

returns NULL

Is not even identified by the system...

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
 
Proxmox VE is a server platform, so we do not test onboard sound cards - so the question is why do you need sound on a server?

Pls describe what you are doing in detail and what kernel do you use (pveversion -v) - maybe someone have an idea.

Hi,
I have proxmox also for testing on my laptop at home with running X (lxde) and also with sound.
You need to install the nessessay debian-packets (alsa) and run alsaconf.
Work with 2.6.24 ans 2.6.32 (i haven't test it with 2.6.18).

About my pveversion:

running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.18: 1.5-5
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
qemu-server: 1.1-14
pve-firmware: 1.0-5
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-13
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve11
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5

Also I must say that I've tried various methods including the alsaconf one, that reports that I don't have any PCI/PNP/ISA cards available.
 
I updated to the pve-2.6.32-2-pve kernel and started working around with OSS drivers.

Finally I ended making it work...

Now in .32. version I have some other problems, like I cannot run the Synaptics directly from gnome (but I can run apt in the shell).

I cannot even run other apps regarding superuser privileges... this is offtopic, but by the way, any ideas?

To access I must edit the menu shortcut with option --sudo-mode... but this is unusual for me :(

I need sound on a Proxmox server too. My Proxmox is working on a local radio station, and need to stream online the sound of the radio to the internet.
