I have gotten the sound on my iBook2 working (via the files on
http:/www.hadess.net/files/ppc/ibook2/), and I have some questions...
Please use the dmasound.tar.gz , it's a better driver (anton2 on
#mklinux fixed that 8 days ago), and I'm supposed to clean it up for
integration in BenH's tree (if he and Iain think that it's clean
enough). Or maybe Olaf will just be sick of waiting and do it himself ;)
That's what I'm using.  It works beautifully (thanks!), but the volume
control is too coarse-grained to be useful for much...
I have placed the ibook2 patches here:
http://www.penguinppc.org/~olaf/ibook2/patches/

70__00_linux-2.4.8--benh.diff.gz
70__2.4.8-ibook2_dmasound.diff.gz
70__2.4.8-ibook2_zzz_dmasound-requestmodule.diff.gz

Everything is against 2.4.8, maybe it fits on the 2.4.9 tree.


What I have found so far is that you have sound working after modprobe
dmasound_pmac. when you launch kmix the volume slider is at 100%. but as
soon as you move the volume control a bit the sound gets really loud. So
I guess the driver reports the wrong volume level to the userland.
