 Thanks, I just ran this tool and as far as i can see everything is fine.
 It has the right sound card and it let me choose different drivers.
 I tried them both and neither works.
 my sound is onboard with the 5.1 channel audio
 it is on the via chipset
 via technologies with a pci bus
 the audio controller is vt 8233 ac97
 and the current driver is snd-via82xx

 I have just moved the slider in the volume control and got some very
 loud noise and screech this only will go off now with the volume slider
 about halfway..???

 I really hate that audio card (I have it)... the only way i can make it work 
 without nasty noises is setting the sampling rate to 48000 (open the kde 
 menu, go to the control panel, choose sound and multimedia, sound system, i/

 Hope it helps... 
 Good luck!

 Thanks for that, I have managed to get rid of the bad noise, and got it to play 
 cd`s. But in the normal run of things i.e games and mulimedia sounds its still dead.
I have run alsaconf and that seemed to go well.
When i installed 9.2 i just went for the default packages with a few
little add ons but nothing in sound. Do you think this might be
something to do with it.

   At install time (if you haven't managed to install yet)
Boot the install CD, press F!, and try 'linux nobiospnp'  (w/o

If you do have a working install, add nobiospnp to the append=
 line in /etc/lilo.conf, EG,   append= devfs=mount nobiospnp
 You'll need to be root to do this, then run 'lilo'.

Your append line probly has more entries, the above is just an
 example.

The pc was built by a company called Richolu.It is an xp2600 and a AMD

512 mb of kingston ddr memory. A Nvidia gforce 4 128 mb Graphics card.. It

The Bios is American megatrends and the screen says the Ami bios is (c) 2003

 Philip, it doesn't matter if you are running dippety-do :-)  This is
 *not* related to your operating system.

 Please give details of your system, in terms of is it a complete
 system from a particular vendor, and also the AMI bios version, which
 comes up very early on your bootup screen - it's sometimes necessary
 to hit Pause very quickly to read that before it disappears.  There
 will be someone else here who has that particular version, I'm sure.

 Philip, googling for 'ASROCK linux' took me to a thread in which it
 seems that RedHat had been installed, but with a lot of problems.
 Apparently it needs NOAPIC to function currectly.  This can be passed
 as a parameter at install time.

 Please will someone give Philip exact instructions on how to do this?

  to put my new version of Mandrake 9.2 on and for some reason it
  will not install at all. I have booted from the CD , out the CD in
  and tried it that way and nothing. Well when I say nothing, it
  starts then all I get is lost interupt over and over. Do you have
  any idea what this might be. I thought it might be a dodgy disk but
  I tried reinstalling 9.1 and that is the same. I am now running

 Hi, Philip.  Well, I haven't even tried 9.2 yet, so it'a a guess.  Did
 you turn off plug'n'play in bios?  I don't think XP needs it, and
 Mandrake will certainly be better without it.

 Other than that, I don't know, Philip.  If that doesn't work, take it
 to the list.  The 'lost interrupt' to me suggests that maybe the pnp
 is trying to fight it out for interrupts with the install, so I'll
 keep my fingers crossed for you.

 Bios = basic input/output protocol, and is not part of your operating
 system.  It is the configuration that is held by a cmos battery on
 your motherboard.  To change anything you watch your bootup screen
 very carefully, and as soon as the memory count is complette you hit
 Delete (on most mobos, though F1 on some - a message should appear at
 the bottom of the screen, but you don't have much time).  You then
 have to look through the options on each page, as the way the bios
 software is set up varies enormously.  Somewhere in there you will
 find something like'Plug and Play OS' which you set to 'no'.

Subject: Solved: [newbie] mandrake 9.2 freezes so often


 Hi,
   I finally found the source of the problem! It was not because of dri
 module as E. Hines suggested. I just disabled the ACPI at boot time and
 now all the freezings are gone!
   Now i can feel the strength of 9.2! It is so fast; it seems even
 faster that windows XP. Konqueror has seen a dramatic change in speed:
 it just pops up once you click!
   Thanks to all those who tried to give me some hints.
 Regards,  Ramin

  There is
  something wrong with the dri (direct rendering) implementation with
  the
  drivers, but I haven't heard that the problem extends beyond the
  mobility
  chip.  My lockups would occur at shutdown, however, and only very
  rarely
  during use.  Just as a test, you might try commenting out the # Load
  dri
  line in your xconfig-4 Module section, to see if the problem might
  go away.
  GLX doesn't look too good if your system acts up running gears,
  either, but
  one thing at a time.
 
  Perhaps SuSe is writing the xconfig-4 file for the Radeon somewhat
  differently
  than Mandrake does it?  For the record, I like SuSe a lot, but use
  Mandrake
  because I like the Mandrake config tools better than YAST.

 Another problem during the installation was that the
   second time that i installed mk9.2 (i had to do this
   for some reason), it detected two graphic cards on my
   machine (on pci buses 1:5:0 and 1:5:1) where there is
   only one graphic card. Running glxgears after the
   first installation was giving me 2600fps and now after
   the second installation it gives 1900fps. Besides
   running glxgears now causes lines of lights flashing
   on my monitor and make the OS very unstable. I just
   removed the lines related to the second graphic card
   in etc/x11/xconfig-4 file and the xwindows is still
   working. So the problem might be related to this bad
   detection of the graphic card!
  
 My hardwares are as follows:
   motherboard: Asus A7M266-D
   CPU: MP2000 dual processor
   sound card: sound blaster live! (dolby 5.1)
   graphic card: ATI 9000pro

 I had the hda: lost interrupt problem with 9.1 in one machine. I
 passed the noapic option to lilo (after a lot of googling) and every
 thing worked just fine.
