Margot is having a problem. If you use AC97 on-board sound, will you please tell us what HardDrake calls your card, and what driver it is using? Thanks
Anne
I have AC97 on-board running and it uses snd-via82xx as the driver Mine does not work either except I can play the CD with grip, not xmms. Sorry not much help.
Might be a route worth following - had a look at grip, and at least it recognises the CD and gives me a track listing, which is more than I get
from xmms. Still no sound though....
You've told us your driver. What sound card does MCC say you have, and how did you get it there?
It says my sound card is VIA Technologies VT8233. I did not have to do anything, it was autodetected on install. Have you perchance checked the bios to see if the onboard sound is set to auto and not disabled? Just fumbling in the dark with that, cause I do not recall if you said you had made sure it was turned on. HTH
Nobody has mentioned bios yet...how do I check it, and how do I change it if wrong?
It all depends on the computer you have.
Warning, it could be dangerous to play with your BIOS, if you do not know what specific parameter does do not change it.
All following is for DESKTOP ONLY, laptop is an other story.
Right after rebooting your PC press on of the following buttons. Not always true. F1- IBM; HP F10 - DELL ESC - Old Gateway F2 - PakardBell
Look for a message that say Press <some button> to access setup You will get insight BIOS settings. BIOS stands for - basic input output system. It's looks like nc or mc. Usually, but not all ways, arrows will move you through the system. Usually, but not always, on board sound is turned off/on in advance menu under pci devices. It is a good idea to reference documentation of your motherboard.
Thanks. I had to use Del to access the setup (tried all your options first, then started working my way through the keyboard until something worked!). Have now enabled OnBoard AC97 Audio.
Have checked MCC - now showing two soundcards! The original non-existent one, plus VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller using driver snd-via8233.
How do I remove the non-existent one from the list and how do I get the CD player etc to recognise the real one?
Edit as root /etc/sysconfig/soundcard
No such file on my system (9.0). I've checked all locations. Would it be hiding under another name? Or should I create the file? If so, what should it contain?
