sndconfig: soundcard not supported Re: [newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem.
Thanks. I just ran sndconfig 0.65.0 and was told my sound card ESS IES1969 Solo-1 is not currently supported. I think this means the end of the day. ;-( From: Frans Ketelaars [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem.

[newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem.
hi, all, I just installed Mandrake 8.1 on my Acer 342T laptop. Mandrake recognised and installed the driver(I guess) for its soundcard: ESS ES1946 solo-1E. I could run CDplayer or MP3 player apps, but no sound comes out of the speaker. Could anyone give me a hand? Many thanks, Wei Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem.
One common (and embarrassing) cause of that symptom is simply having the sound mixer level set to zero. Check out KMenuMultimediaSoundSoundmixer You can save the defaults after you have set the level. If that is not the problem (assuming you are using KDE) open KDE Control Centre SoundSoundserverAdvanced and try selecting an alternate Sound I/O method. Failing that, try Opening Mandrake Control CentreHardware and check the sound configuration.
