Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2 - MP3 Audio not working
I have tried using both Noatun and Xmms with the same results from both, for all intents and purposes the player looks like it is working (equalizer works etc) but not sound, volume controls on both players are definatly set to max (adjusting doesnt help either) The only thing I can find that this might be is that my mobo has an onboard sound card that mandrake has picked up even though I have this dsiabled in my bios, and for some reasons mandrake is piping CD Audio though the SB Live and MP3 audio though the mobo?? dunno I may not be able to help you with your sound problem, but try xmms instead of Noatun. I think xmms is a much better player. Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2 - MP3 Audio not working
After further investigation it would seem that the only audio I can play is CD audio, no wav or mp3 files will play, mpg movies dont have any sound, it seems like the entire sound server is failing somewhere as cd audio might be done via hardware instead (can anybody confirm) So far I have : - checked Kmix and all volumes are unmuted and set to max - Checked Aumix and the same - Tried in different apps, Xmms, Noatun - Tried different sound servers in - Control Center-Sound-Sound Server-Sound I/O (this is currently set to auto detect, open sound system doesnt seem to do anything different, and the sound server fails to restart on Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - Check in hardDrake and the settings for the Sound Card all seem to be fine I cant think of anything else On Friday 05 July 2002 6:35 pm, you wrote: well...if you've good sound for everything else except the playing of mp3's then again I would suggest checking the volume level of the card where playing those files is concerned.

You would not happen to have on board sound AND a sound card would you? I have seen cases where Linux picked up an onboard sound system that the user thought was disabled. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I think xmms is a much better player. Todd This sounds a bit like some of the problem manifestations I get - that is, it doesn't happen all the time, but too often for my liking. I have found that the solution to my problem is to use the Process Management utility to kill aRts, then login afresh. It works every time. But then when I'm having that problem it does kill all sound, so maybe it isn't the same. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I _do_ know that turning off the Alsa server is part of the problem/solution. also, what kind of card do you have? -- daRmaTTeR R L U: #186492 When ever people annoy me I remember, Vengence is mine saith the Lord.
