I posted a while ago about my sound card and followed the sueegestions i was givenand i got sound... until i rebooted at which point loading the sound failed and I got a message about my mouse "device busy" and once X loaded the mouse was just frozen in the middle of the screen.
So i have now restored /etc/modules.conf back to how it was and all is ok again – well except i still have no sound. Any more ideas as to what i can do?

But Timidity (on your CD's) can play MIDI just fine (in fact the sound quality of the opl3 based MIDI synthesizer is rather bad AFAIK). > It offered me the chance to do all the setting manually, but i don't know > what they are. So my questions are: what does the above error mean and if > i have to set it up manually then how do i find all the settings for it? 'cat /proc/isapnp' _may_ give you some ideas. It's possible sndconfig made a mistake and shouldn't have tried to load the opl3 module.... > Also, the strange thing is that for the rest of the session after i have > run this, the sound card works fine, so i know it works ok, but then i > have to run sndconfig again next time i log in, which is quite often at > the moment as my modem is not supported yet, but thats another story!! You can check with '/sbin/lsmod' which modules (drivers) are loaded. Let us know. I think sndconfig loaded a driver for your card, then tried to load the opl3 module which failed. Because of that sndconfig didn't add the necessary lines to the /etc/modules.conf file. > Cheers in advance and thanks to all the mandrake people for a cool distro > > Matt HTH, -Frans
