[newbie] sound problem in 10.1
I recently installed Mandrake 10.1 official on my IBM T23. Overall, I'm impressed. The install was better than any other version of Mandrake I've tried since 6.1, and the end result is fast and seems quite stable. I'll have to compile the Lucent drivers, but other than that, most of what I want seems to work pretty well. One problem I have hit is withh sound support. The sound drivers are loading, but sound under either Gnome or KDE is muted. I can get round the problem by opening aumix and (after initially setting the levels up and saving them) forcing a load. However, next time the laptop is booted, no sound until I go through the process again. Watching boot messages, I see an error coming from the mixed during boot - it is unable to locate /dev/mixer. Am I correct in assuming this is becuase udev has not created the correct device node at this point? I've tried adding aumix -L to rc.local, but it does not seem to be executed (well, if it is being executed it doesn't help) and I've also tried adding the same line to the Gnome session startup page (I use Gnome by default). This does work, but it affects the way Gnome loads. With the command in startup, the Gnome splash screen no longer clears and I suspect that not everything Gnome related is being loaded. I can click on the spash screen to get it to go away, but it seems that I either can't use the command were I've got it, or I need to alter the syntax. Has anyone else seen this sort of problem with sound startup, or is it peculiar to the T23? Also, can anyone suggest how I get rid of it completely? paul. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Marwick Computer Services - Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, UK OS/2, LAN and general Computer Consultants Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Sound problem
Thank you for your reply, Carefree. Very much edited, my original posting said: From: Keith Powell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a program which needs to access the sound system for a digital output. When I try to run it, I get the error messages: Unable to open the audio device. /dev/sound/dsp There is a /dev/sound/dsp and also a /dev/dsp (to which I have tried changing the setting in the error box). Starting it in a terminal, gives: inexact sampling rate: request for 8000 resulted in 48000 Cannot open audio device /dev/sound/dsp: Invalid argument I have tried changing System-Configuration-KDE-Sound-sound System-Hardware to a custom sampling rate of 8000, but still the same error messages.

From what I have been able to find out, I don't think that the sampling rate can be changed. What version of MDK do you have on your box? It's 10.0. but I am going to upgrade to 10.1. Do you choose auto detect or other options? Yes, I chose auto detect. If I try any other settings, I lose sound completely. I get the same problem with two other Linux distros, that's why I think it is the sound chip. There are still the error messages if I select alsa, but again I lose all sound. However, alsa works and the errant program works, with my Libranet (Debian based) distro. I have been trying various distros on my spare hard drive to find out what happens with each of them. As I am going to upgrade my machine soon, I think that I will abandon this until I have changed. I'll see what happens then.

Re: [newbie] Sound problem
What brand of soundcard do you have?What version of MDK do you have on your box? I have so much sound problem and CD-ROM drive lockups with no CD in them for no reasons with 10.0. I've switched to 10.1 Community recently and it solves those problems. I'm going to upgrade my box to 10.1 official soom. My soundcard is a Creative Blaster64.

It's a Debian based distro and I haven't used it for some time. Running to .deb version of the offending program, gave the same error messages. In the Libranet Control Centre, I installed and configured alsa. Tried the program again and it worked without error messages. Back to Mandrake and I installed everything to do with alsa that I could find. Changed the KDE-sound-system sound-hardware setting from auto to alsa and tried the program (it's a KDE program) again. Nothing! Just the same error messages. So I have the program running using alsa in one distro, but not running using alsa in another distro. Very odd. Incidentally, selecting custom setting of the sampling rate in the hardware section of KDE sound settings, kills the sound completely. There are no system sounds. That's as far as I have got.

Thanks Paul To check and see which you are using OSS or ALSA or what go to the KDE control center and click on sound and look at the sound system and sound I/O It should show auto.

Thank you for the suggestions, but unfortunately none of them work. In fact, things have got more complicated. There is no config file for the program. The configuration is set up from the program when it is running. The error box which shows the device (/dev/sound/dsp), appears to have the facility to change the device by typing in a different one. I have altered it to /dev/dsp, but pressing the OK button still gives the same error. However, on restarting the program, the original device is shown again. There is no dsp1, only /dev/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp. Should there be a dsp1? When I create the symlink, it says that the file /dev/sound/dsp already exists. So, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Now, I get the error message: inexact sampling rate: request for 8000 resulted in 48000Cannot open audio device /dev/sound/dsp: Invalid argument BUT! I have just installed the program into SuSE (which I rarely use these days, preferring Mandrake). It runs perfectly, with no error messages about not opening /dev/sound/dsp or the sampling rate.

The sound is working ok in windoze but I sant get a thing from it in ML9.0 Hard Drake is deticting a VT8233 [ AC97 Audio Controler] but I am getting no sound at all not even startup sounds for KDE Now first thing to check is always whether you have unmuted channels :-)) This is by far the most widespread sound problem in Linux. KMix is good for that. Other than that - I have the same sound chip. 9.0 got it recognized and it also worked except for some games. You could try latest alsa drivers - www.alsa-project.org. Look for instructions specific to your chip. They have very good step-by-step instructions that are suitable for complete newb with standard intelligence and some time at hand :-) This will require downloading and compiling three files, modifying your modules.conf and editing or creating .asoundrc file in your home directory. Given the quality of instructions you can do it fast and it is also great educational experiment. Conclusion - it seems VT8233 is not best-supported piece of hardware and requires extra work but will work for most purposes. Wahur Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi all, Looks like LM8.1 has serious problems configuring sound cards.Out of the three sytems i have installed none of them configured sound to my satisfaction. 1)Dell optiplex GX110 (i810 motherboard with Ac97codec and AD 1881A on board PCIsound ).When i start KDE the sound comes out in breaks,but plays mp3 files with Xmms,some file it plays with little distortion and some files it plays fast.I tried to disable Devfs and try stiill the same results 2)Super motherboard BX chip set ,PIII 450,SBLive value board,it configured sound okay.Then i was bugged that there was no bass and treble controls,so installed the RPM from cooker for emu10k1 as per Mandrake Forum notes and got the controls i wanted.But now the sound does not come on when i start KDE,it starts working only after i mute and unmute the volume or pcm on the mixer and sometimes both...why is this? 2)An Intel FX motherboard with PII 333 overdrive processor,on board crystal CS4236(isapnp).Here i made the isapnp.conf file as per a writeout in Mandrake forum and i ran sndconfig,the sound come out on the first test,then it gives an error while trying to play the midi sound and goes for manual configuration which still does not help either.What i could make out is that sndconfig was trying to use the kernel driver for opl3.o and gives an error on modprobe.Icould not find a kernel driver for CS4236 in the list of kernel drivers.How can i proceed now...

When I am running from root. It gives me the message output audio device is busy, some other application are using it , although no sound application is running. Then I tried to use ESD daemon with RealPlayer but the problem persists. I change all dsp,mixer,audio device files mode to 777, but it gives the same problem. Can you tell me what is wrong with Realplayer and this sound card combination. Thanks, -Rajat. -- When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

[newbie] Sound problem
I have a sound card in the machine that worked yesterday just fine and now it doesn't seem to want to behave. If I play a sound as my user, timh, it tells me I don't have permission to play the sound because I can't access /dev/dsp. The file itself is mine and it's not that I don't have rights to the file. [timh@r2d2 timh]$ play File.wav sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Permission denied [timh@r2d2 timh]$ ls -la File.wav -rw-r--r--1 timh timh 232928 Mar 19 06:04 File.wav So I can play the file. As root though, I have no problem. [root@r2d2 /root]# play /usr/share/licq/sounds/icq/System.wav No error at all given. And the process is going. root 8413 0.0 0.1 1416 500 pts/2S20:00 0:00 sox /usr/share/licq/sounds/icq/System.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp The only that changed would have been the addition of a second network card, that was there previously but was moved since it stopped working in that PCI slot. Why does this work for root and not any other user? Can I just change there permissions to the /dev/dsp? Is it that simple? Any help is greatly appreciated and needed. Thanx! tdh -- T.

Re: [newbie] sound problem
as root run modprobe sb io=0x220 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 if there is an IRQ error run car/proc/interrupt to check where the conflict lies. Then adjust the values in the command above for new irq Cyphfer On Fri, 24 November 2000, Oder Santos wrote: On Friday 24 November 2000 18:40, you wrote: On Fri, 24 November 2000, "Oder Santos" wrote: I have installed Mandrake 7.2 in my Toshiba satellite 315 CDS but harddrake don't detect the sound chip OPL3SA2.

[newbie] sound problem
I have recently installed Mandrake 7.2 in my Toshiba Satellite 315CDS and all running great except for the soundcard - OPL3-SA2/3/x sound chip. Tried Harddrake and it cannot even see the card. Tried sndconfig but the same, I have no sound. Does anyone have any idea. Any help would be really appreciate. Thanks in advance, Oder.
Re: [newbie] sound problem
Hello, I'm no expert at this, but I found that installing the alsa drivers and files helped (alsa[drivers]), alsa-lib, alsa-utils, and the Timidity packages helped. I installed them using RpmDrake. I'm running 7.1. I hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] sound problem
Garya quick reaction to your description makes me say that you may have another device trying to share the interrupt that your sound card is using and the sound card test routines don't like it. I suggest you address a fellow in the expert list who goes by the name of 'civileme', he's pretty good at solving hardware conflict problems. Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted a question similar to this. In my case it is a detection error. I DO have a VIA chipset, which I gather might be part of the problem. Do you get "failures" as Linux boots? And what do these failure files read like around the error line number?

Hi, I had just installed mandrake 6.1. I have a VIA chipset onboard sound. I did download the kudzu, newbt_30 and sndconfig_38. It somehow get to detect my sound chip. However I keep on getting this message. modprobe error /lib/modules/2.2.13-4mdk/misc/sb.o: init_module: sound: device or resouce busy. I did go into the /etc/conf.modules to delete thealiases, but still I get this error? Please help me thisthank you
