This goes for LM8.2 and Cooker. I don't know where to dig, the only sound I get is by using beep from the beep package... The console sounds is somehow re-routed to the soundboard on this motherboard, I guess this is normal... I use this (auto generated by kudzu/install): alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio I have also tried this: above snd-card-via8233 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-via8233 I just hoping someone knows how to fix this..., I'm going crazy not able to play my mp3:s here... Well, since this is my second attempt to get help with this problem without any replies what so ever, I gave up. I went to the local dealer and bought a cheap SB 128 instead... It seems like Jeff Garzik is the maintainer of the via82cxxx driver, but I don't know how to do to contact him..., is he still at Mandrake? It would be nice if you added a note that the sound chip on the Epox 8KHA+ is unsupported on your HCL at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
RE: [Cooker] Epox 8KHA+ and sound (again)
I have an Epox 8KHA+ motherboard and I got sound working. I'm not at the pc now, so I can't look at the config, but there was an article on MandrakeForum on getting it to work which worked for me: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1491mode=threadorder=0th old= 0 Check it out. It may fix your problems too... the only real thing in this article is mixer settings. ALSA is known to start by default with sound muted on all channels. The rest is not needed (on clean Mandrake installation). Both alsa/sound are on by default and this ridiculously long module list is not needed as well (unless they managed to break it in 0.9 that I hope not happened). You just need alias snd-card-0 ... and that's all. Note that the article is for old version, quite possible module does not work in current kernel. -andrej
Re: [Cooker] Epox 8KHA+ and sound (again)
It did not work for me, but I'm not sure what was the original cause. At some point between the 8.2 beta's and the final release I upgraded my hardware, so it could be that I installed 8.2 with a soundblaster live and then swapped the hardware to the epox board. Also, I did make a custom kernel, but it has the Alsa stuff patched in as well. None of the sound card stuff was set up in the modules.conf file. I also did not include some of the lines, like the snd-seq lines. I'm not sure the sound-service lines are necessary, but I don't think they hurt anything. Sound does work now, though...

If I only had known about the amixer sillyness..., shit!, damnit!. Well..., it's lucky I know the local dealer... As it is now I have the built in sound card, the SB128 and audio out from my TV card, six whopping channels ;) Well..., to round all this up for the next poor soul... Use amixer :) (Right now enjoying the enormous drum sounds of Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy)... at that time the trend was to record drums in a tight and dead drum booth, leaving the choice of ambience to the listener...)
