Re: [newbie] Another Sound problem
I had intermittent sound problems under KDE until I told it to use OSS instead of ALSA. The easiest way to check/change is to go to the Configuration menu, then KDE, then Sound and finally, Sound Server. On the General tab, make sure the Start aRTS Soundserver on KDE startup is checked (if it's not, that's probably your problem). On the Sound IO tab, change the method to Open Sound System (mine was autodetect). When you hit reply, it will warn you something about possibly locking up apps using sound. If you have any apps open close them and then tell it to restart the sound server. You can go back to the General tab and press the Test Sound button to see if it made a difference.

I think it's called diskwriter plugin or something similar. When I deselected that option, I could hear the music again.

Re: [newbie] Another sound problem...Fixed!!
Now if I log in as root, it works, but as different user...no. So I guess I'll have to do it all again as the user. Actually, you don't have to do it again as the user. What has to happen is that user *must* be a member of the sound group (it's either sound or audio, I think). If they aren't, they will not be allowed to play sounds. To add someone to the sound group, you can go through to the program you used to add the user, and add as an optional group, or you can edit /etc/group directly.

1. The path to run should be /usr/sbin/sndconfig, not user/sbin/sndconfig. 2. sndconfig should be run from a root console, not as a user, and not within X. 3.

I have the exact same card, and I can't get mine to work either, and I've heard of some other people with similiar cards (soundblaster ISA's) not getting their cards to work either. From what I've gathered however over the past few weeks from this list and MandrakeForum, ISA isn't supported anymore in LM8. So I have no clue on how to fix that or get the sound card to work.
