Re: [newbie] Identifying sound server for Xine
Ah Southbridge?... is it on this list.

Re: [newbie] Identifying sound server for Xine
Looks like the VT82C686 so modules.conf should look something like this, I'd open up you case and have a look at the Southbridge to get the exact revision... as there are 2 versions a and B rule of thumb if I remember correctly is that a only supports ATA66 and B supports ATA100 (not sure if that helps much). alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a (for 686B, 8231) 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 This will setup OSS emulation so all you need to do is launch xine, open Tools/Audio and change null to oss and press enter. Or you can do it from bash # xine -A oss There's a good section on VIA audio drivers here http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=128 and http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=88 Cheers Andy - Original Message - From: John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Identifying sound server for Xine Michael Adams wrote: Ah Southbridge?... is it on this list.

Re: [newbie] Identifying sound server for Xine
I wonder if I should have stated that sound is working on my system. Just not in Xine. I want to identify which sound server is working so i can tell Xine. Xine is currently set to null in setup Audio tag.

Re: [newbie] Identifying sound server for Xine
What Southbridge does the Epox EP-6VBA have? Could be one of following VT8231, VT82C686A, VT82C686B, VT8233, VT8233A, VT8233C, VT8235 All but the VT8235 are currently supported, although the VT8233A requires a new driver to get it working.
