I get a lot of static and the bells work but it won't play the intro or

artswrapper as
root, below is a copy of my shell when I did so. I ran ps to see what

I am using Mandrake 9.2 with onboard AC97 sound chip. It's using the
via82cxxx_audio driver. The board discription is ?VT82C686 [Apollo
Super
AC97/Audio], and the module is ?snd-via82xx. Your help is greatly
appreciated. TIA, Moe

First Configure KDEControlPanel>Sound>SoundSystem>SoundI/O
and set it to use Alsa sound server.
If that does not help install the alsa-utils RPM package.
Make a copy of your /etc/modules.conf file and then run
alsaconf
Alsaconf will rewrite your /etc/modules.conf file with the correct
configuration for your sound card, but will not put in the lines
which are not to do with sound. You must put those back in by hand
from your backup.
I had the same problem, but running alsasound was not necessary - I
just went into the KDE manager, reset sound to alsa and everything
worked fine. The funny thing is that sound was alreqady set to alsa,
but I had to set it again to make it work.
