[newbie] No sound in linux?
Hello All, I am having some problems with sound in linux mandrake 7.1. I am running an Athlon 600 with 256 meg of ram. Soundcard is Creative SB Live! PCI and network card is Netgear FA310TX. Linux is on its own seperate hd from windows. When I run sounddrake (as root of course) it finds my sound card fine. When I hit 'test' I hear Linus's voice fine, but if I click on 'ok' I get: sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp' No such device- Only clicking 'exit' lets me out. I have checked the permissions in /dev/dsp* and /dev/audio* and /dev/adsp* among others and they are all set rwx for user group and other (unless you are in 1-x instead of * if you know what I mean). When I try to open the files with KFM I get: could not read /dev/audio (including * and 1,2,3, etc.) File does not exist or access denied. Same for /dev/dsp* and /dev/adsp* etc. etc. Even though I can see the listing in KFM. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the aumix rpm from the cd and from the web, and no change. When I click on the mixer icon I get: kmix: could not open mixer. Perhaps you have no permission to access the mixer device. Log in as root and do a 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer*' to allow the access. which I did to no avail. I know I haven't tried everything because there is still no sound. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Wayfarer

I have checked the permissions in /dev/dsp* I'm running an Athlon 700/128ram with an SBLive in Mandrake 7.1, and I was in the exact situation you described, and I now have working sound in Linux. That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm not entirely certain which thing I did to made it work. =) Linuxnewbie.org has a little article called "SBLive" issues that helped me out: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/soundcards/sblive.html [At one point, the author warns the reader away from the 'make install' command, but that was what worked for me, rather than his manual method, so it might be worth a shot.] The driver at Creative is updated VERY frequently; the one I'm using came out the day I installed it (and finally got it to work). Sorry I can't provide concrete answers. Good luck. =) B. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Veni vidi velcro: I came, I saw, I stuck around.
