Re: [expert] setting up sound in 8.2
I had similar problems, which were resolved with a quick search for alsa + via8233 (my sound card.) After doing the modprobe, I added the following lines to modules.conf and it works fine: alias snd-card-0 snd-via8233 ## your sound card mod instead of snd-via8233... alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss At some point, I think the entry changed from snd-card-0 to snd-slot-0, so check if that's your problem as well... (and some of those entries may be totally redundant/obsolete, but it works...) -Jason (sorry if someone else gave similar advice, I haven't been following the thread too carefully...)

Re: [expert] setting up sound in 8.2
On an old sound blaster type card I had once, there were some pins for attaching the motherboard speaker output direct to the sound card. For louder beeps I guess!

Re: [expert] setting up sound in 8.2
On 07 Jul 2002 07:45:04 +1000 Darren King [EMAIL PROTECTED] said with temporary authority I just upgraded my old super 7 based system to a Epox 8K3A / Athlon system. The 8K3A has sound on board and I'm trying to get it going. When I booted for the first time after the upgrade, I ran kudzu and it found the ac97 sound ( and the usb controller) so I thought I was set. I looked under /proc and the pci file contains the sound card. The sound modules load into the kernel as well. However, under the control center, there are no sound cards listed in the hardware and when I try to play a sound file using xmms, it wont even play...when I hit play, it stays at 0:00 seconds... If I am typing in the terminal and I hit backspace too many times, I do get beeps out of the speakers so I think the hardware is fine. Anyone set up ac97 sound recently? The sound howto is extremely outdated and not much help. Darren Don't know if this will help much but on my box the following modules are loaded. emu10k157984 2 ac97_codec 9568 0[emu10k1] sound57292 0 [emu10k1] soundcore4068 7 [emu10k1 sound] This is the relevant line from /etc/modules.conf alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 nothing relevant in /etc/modules. Can't tell you what I did, except install 8.2 as on my box it came up from the get go. Oh and I also installed Alsa when I installed the box. Maybe that will help. The rpms I installed are: alsaplayer-0.99.53-1mdk lib alsa1-0.5.10b-1mdk alsa-utils-0.5.10-4mdk James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
