Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2 - MP3 Audio not working

2002-07-05 Thread List User 

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.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2 - MP3 Audio not working

2002-07-05 Thread List User 

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

 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.
