Re: [newbie] Sound card not working
Lyvim Xaphir disseminated the following: If you want the best quality sound drivers with the most features, I highly recommend you go to opensound.com and download the drivers for your sound card. OSS is superior to Alsa. Wha? All this time people have been telling me the opposite, 'OSS is old', 'ALSA is the future of sound on Linux' Lyvim, I'm also curious why you say OSS is superior to ALSA. From what I've been reading on the Linux-Audio-User list, OSS is rarely mentioned. It appears all the efforts to develop sound applications and utilities are using ALSA. And if I'm not mistaken, I've seen posts from you on the Linux-Audio-User list. You've intriqued me. Please explain your reasons. Stephen. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks. 1st back up your /etc/modules.conf (in 10.0 I believe it's called something slightly different, at least if you are running the 2.6 kernel). Then run 'alsaconf' as root. Now, from your backup modules.conf, add back the lines deleted by running alsaconf, to do with your video, usb, etc. You may need to do a service sound restart, if the alsaconf utility doesn't do it for you (can't remember ATM). -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 00:48:57 up 38 days, 34 min, 4 users, load average: 0.27, 0.10, 0.21 +++ "Athens built the Acropolis.

[newbie] Sound card not working
When I first installed 10.0, the alsa driver worked, but sounded like shit...very distorted, like a cheap stereo system with the volume too high. I tinkered with settings (stupidly) without tracking what I was doing in order to undo if problems occured (which did). Um...I'd like to have sound back without having to reinstall everything...suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] Sound card not working
None. Everything works, but there is just no sound like it's muted. BUT, If I used HardDrake to config the CODEC I do get an error. It says cannot find isa-pnp.

Re: [newbie] Sound card not working
I have the same chip and a similar problem I have just about every sound utility installed. I can play music cds only if the volume control is all the way up and the speakers are cranked. When I try to play a midi file with KMid I get 'could not open /dev/sequencer Probably another program is using it.' What sort of error messages are you getting?

[newbie] Sound card not working
I have a Dell Optiplex GX1 with built in audio. The card is a Crystal Audio card. I'm running Mandrake 8.1 which found the CODEC and MPU-401 for it, but I can't get any sound. The card is NOT disabled in either BIOS nor Mandrake. Neither is it muted. There is nothing in Sound Mixer when I open it. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Sound card not working in KDE 2.1.1 .. fixed - new problem
I used sun's from the 2.1beta2 downloads, and put the path in settings/configuration. Something like: /usr/java/bin/java, or was it /usr/java/lib/java? Anyway, do a locate and add that path in your config. -s On Monday 09 April 2001 02:47 pm, you wrote: > Thanks Kjell!!

Re: [newbie] Sound card not working in KDE 2.1.1 .. fixed - new problem
Thanks Kjell!! That did the trick all right. Terry Now if only I can figure out how to get Konqueror working properly with Java ... lol Anyone have any luck with this one? I've tried Sun's JRE, IBM's JRE, and Blackdown's .. Sun's wouldn't work, IBM's worked the first time and quit after that, and Blackdown didn't work either.
