hello, i´m new at the list and inlinux as well... i installed the mandrake 9.1 on my pc, the motherboard is an ASUS P4S533-X, the mandrake recognize my sound card but it doensn´t work at all. i tried other alsa drivers but i don´t know how to use them. Does anyboy had the same problem and can help me? i´m not a linux user but i´m trying to be, i tried already the red hat 9 and connectiva 9 (a brazilian distribuition), and the mandrake was the only one that recongnized my soundcard... i tried the volume as well... the´re up, but no sound at all... thanks folks.

Re: [newbie] Soundcard problem
I think sndconfig could solve the problem, just install the rpm and run the package, it should detect and configure your sound-card automatically.

[newbie] Soundcard freezes mouse

Just curious...b/c I know some ppl who wouldn't mind a pro card like it. Femme Yes, they are. They marketed a new sound technology that Creative Labs whined and moaned about, saying it couldn't be done. Then Aureal released their chipset, and it was so hot that John Carmack at id software put the A3d feature directly into Quake3. Then Creative Labs sued Aureal, and since they were still a startup, they couldn't afford the court costs. To add insult to injury, Creative Labs bought the remnants of the company and integrated the technology that couldn't be done into their own cards. So since Creative Labs couldn't compete technically with Aureal, they used some lawyers to run Aureal out of business; a la Microsoft. The upside to all this is that I think there are some sound chipsets out there such as the Cmedia 8738 (which is on the Chaintech CT-7VJDA Athlon mobo) that have several 3D audio standards built in, such as A3D 1.0, and EAX 1.0/2.0. The new turtle beach Santa Cruz has those also, plus IA3D, MacroFX, MultiDrive, and Virtual Ear. If I'm forced to get another sound card, it will never be a Creative Labs, and the one I do get will have Linux drivers available and up to date before I invest. L8R !

[newbie] Soundcard not working

I try to configure it manually (using the info from the other OS I have on my machine) but it still will not work at all. I tried running sndconfig but it pretty much chokes on it too. Any ideas?

RE: [newbie] Soundcard SiS 7018: no sound
This problem has been around for a while now. People can't get SiS related hardware (especially display and sound to work on linux). I have tried and am working with a framebuffer for my display but got nothing for the sound yet. www.sis.com do have a compiled driver for redhat 7.2 I think. But that does not work with Mdk. I tried doing a little reverse engineering on the windows on the redhat version of the drivers - was an interesting hour to see the two sets of code - but I didn't have more time to look into it. It maybe a good idea for a future project though :-) if you do find a solution do post it to this list. thanks navin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marcio Cordero Sent: Wednesday, 26 September 2001 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Soundcard SiS 7018: no sound Hi all, I've been trying to get a SiS 7018 pci sound card to work.

While it can be an irritant, I always find it better to ask on a list first about hardware issues, because you often get personal responses about something listed as working, but it turns out that it only works under specific conditions, or you need PCI cards in a specific order, or you need to fiddle with this or that before you can get the specific hardware to work, or an example of what not to try, because of x or y.

Re: [newbie] Soundcard for Mandrake Linux.
Brian asked: I need some info about what sound card to use with Mandrake Linux. I imagine that it should be Soundblaster compatible, but other than that, I haven't got a clue as to what I could use. Any ideas? I have a SoundBlaster 16 PCI, which installed without a hitch and without my intervention and worked immediately and always. It's been around a long time and I still see them for sale, is inexpensive, does 128 midi voices with a software wavetable, and doesn't do fancy things like the SoundBlaster Live, so is less likely to generate problems. This isn't exactly a recommendation, just my own experience. I suggest avoiding ISA PnP sound cards. I originally installed Linux on a computer with a Siig SoundWave Pro ISA and had a terrible time getting it going. I finally got it functioning when I logged in as root, but it wouldn't work if I logged in as user. I'm sure I could have fixed that with some guidance, but I have since removed Linux from that computer, which is going to my grandchildren. Windows has no trouble with the Siig. Linux is much happier with the SoundBlaster 16 PCI. --Judy Miner

The problem seems to be that sndconfig would select settings that *almost* worked -- they should be valid, but probably conflicted with some other hardware. I found that if you tell sndconfig that everything is okay, then rerun sndconfig (sometimes two or three times) eventually it would configure my soundcard properly. Remember, do *not* tell sndconfig that the configuration is wrong, just accept them -- and then run it again.

RE: [newbie] soundcard help
There are probably modules already loaded in memory causing the error you are seeing. You need to first unload the memory resident modules... Try # lsmod to list them. Unload all sound related modules... I.E. # rmmod soundcore etc. Make sure you get the MPU module(s) too. You need to remove them all for soundconf to work properly. If you are getting an error message while attempting to remove one, then it is likely that you need to first remove a child module first, and try the same one again. Afterwards try running soundconfig again. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Harry Kim Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2001 4:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] soundcard help hi i am having problems with my sb16 sound card... im running mandrake 7.2 when i run sndconfig i get the following error when it tries to play a test sound modprobe error The following error occured running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/sb.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/sb.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/sb.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed any help or suggestions would be helpful thanks harry
[newbie] soundcard and 8.0
In 7.2 i just ran sndconfig to get my soundblaster and attached cdrom working. In 8.0 do I actually have to compile a custom kernel to do this? I can do this if I must but it seems that there should be a simpler way. Typing sndconfig gets me command not found. Is there a sounddrake that I'm not finding? Harddrake won't detect it. I know the module needed is sbpcd0 because I eventually configured a new 2.2 kernel with a loadable module under 7.2 If this is covered in a howto, faq or previous post kindly point me in that direction. Thanks
re: [newbie] soundcard and 8.0
sndconfig should be installed, if it isn't it is on one of the CDs - can't remember which, it has to be run as root BTW, trying as user will produce the command not found response. Catch-22 time. I can't access the cdrom until I run sndconfig. Anyway, I downloaded sndconfig rpm from rpmfind.net and installed Now I think I just have to add a line to /etc/fstab to mount the cdrom and all should be well. I hope. Thanks

Re: [newbie] soundcard problems revisited...
There is no isapnp.conf file to work with. Whenever I run isapnp it does nothing except tell me the usage i.e.isapnp configfile I don't know what the command is to create an isapnp.conf file is. I am very new to Linux and it's all kinda greek to me. As far as I know this is the only thing I have left to configure. It just doesn't make sense to me that I was able to easily set this same card up in another PC using the sndconfig command, but when I try to use it on this PC it just locks up.

Adam Wright If you have ISAPNP tools, the command would be "pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf"

Adam Wright Hi, Adam, I had some problems installing a sound card a while ago on one of my Linux machines. I think the surest way of getting sound on Linux is to recompile the kernel with sound support built in. If you're running a stock Mandrake installation, you have kernel 2.0.36. You should upgrade to the latest 2.2.x kernel. Have you compiled a kernel before? If not, it goes like this: Get kernel source from ftp.kernel.org and place in /usr/src. tar zxvf kernel.tar.gz [unpacks the kernel source] Then follow the directions in the newly created /usr/src/linux/README. I recommend 'make xconfig' instead of 'make config' or 'make menuconfig' when you get to the kernel options configuration part. For the most part, you'll just want the default parameters, unless you have any special devices, like scsi. When you get to the sound part, select sound card support. Then select support for OSS sound modules. This will activate the 100% Sound Blaster configuration section. Choose the appropriate parameters. Compile the kernel, reboot with the new kernel, and you should get sound. I highly recommend the book Running Linux 2nd ed. by Welsh and Kaufman (http://www.briansbooks.com has the best prices I've found on the Internet). I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions you might have about kernel compiling. OK, good luck, Hidong
[newbie] soundcard problems revisited...
I posted a message on here about 4 days ago, but unfortunately my question got lost in all the responses and never did get answered. Here's what I have. I recently installed Mandrake 5.3 in a system in which I could never get the soundcard to function properly. I then removed the card and replaced it with an ESS 1688. The problem now is that my sound sounds like it is echoing and I am unable to run sndconfig. Whenever I try to run it it ets to the point where it starts looking for plun and play cards and just hangs there. I have no other option but to shut down the system right there. I know this card works because I had it installed in another system running Mandrake and was able to run sndconfig in it just fine. I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. Mind you, i am indeed a Newbie to the Linux world, but want to learn. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Adam Wright
