Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems!
AxalonI did and it didn't help the sndconfig crash situation. Which is why I tried the downgrading of rhsound, sox and sndconfig. And that is what worked for me.

Thanks Alan, I tend to loose track of mail threads (can't believe my clocks stayed in the same year for this long it's a first, gotta love them old 386's none the less linuux does =] ) in between my clock and mass volume of mail i recieve.

Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems!
I've but up an updated sndconfig RPM @ ftp://jumpstart.netpirate.org/pub/mdk-test/sndconfig-0.33-3mdk.i586.rpm If somebody with the problem could test it w/ rhsound-1.8-2mdk sox-12.15-7mdk and let me know if that solves it for them.

Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems!
Axalonyep, it works on my system. There are problems, but it works and it works as well as the downgrade of the three packages. The problems that still exist are: 1) sndconfig does not autoidentify my card (it says it can't find a card). 2) sndconfig turns the volume down and then when it plays the sample I can't hear it. 3) sndconfig only plays one sample, the .au file of Linus' voice, but not the .midi file. But all of these problems existed when I used the RedHat rpms with Mandrake, but neither of them existed when I installed RedHat 6.0 itself.

Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems!
Axalon.whoops!! I didn't make one thing clear. Running sndconfig does not zero the volume, it simply lowers it enough (from my previously pre-set levels) so I can't hear it. Alan - Original Message - From: Alan Shoemaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 1999 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Problems! Axalonhere's some answers to your queries. I hope they help. 1) sndconfig does not autoidentify my card (it says it can't find a card). What model do you have? PCI128 2) sndconfig turns the volume down and then when it plays the sample I can't hear it. Hmm, did you do a cold boot of the machine? sndconfig should make sure the volume is reasonable however so I'll look into a patch for it no, after I used kpackage to uninstall the old files and install the new ones I exited KDE with a ctl-alt-f6, logged in as root and ran sndconfig. Since it didn't error out when playing the sample I answered yes to the 'did you hear' question and then logged out and used ctl-alt-f7 to return to KDE, opened the volume control on the dock and set the volume to what I normally use (it was reset to all sliders just above the midpoint) and the system sounds worked fine. 3) sndconfig only plays one sample, the .au file of Linus' voice, but not the .midi file. can you play midi afterwards by telling it yes, does it zero that volume also? yes to what? After returning to KDE I can find a .midi file in the file system and play it, yes.
