Margot On my MSI Mobo it's the above one, but it depends on the manufacturer, haven't you got a mobo manual, it's bound to say in there. However it is looking to me like your whole problem started because your bios was not set for auto detection. One thing I have noticed about Mandrake installs, is that if you have everything detected in bios it seldom fails to not to give you it in the OS. So it made an intelligent guess and installed something. Now the problem is, that something is retaining the unwanted configuration and that is the setting that is dominent. I thought your modules.conf may still of had something to configure that SB card, that you don't really have, but not being familiar with SB cards I cannot say for sure, but it seems like the script is OK to me. Now Modules.conf is about settings for devices, it's not a list of devices, so to my mind we have to find out what to do to remove the SB Card from the list of devices. Seems to me it's going to end up being a script rewrite somewhere in some file containing a list of whatever devices is in there. Question is what file or ? and how ?

During boot-up a message appears at the bottom to hit a specific key to access bios settings. It is usually Delete, but a few boards use something different. There are a number of bioses, so I can't be specific, but you can navigate through the options, usually with arrow keys. The part you are looking for will probably be on a page with a name something like Peripherals. If in doubt, take a look at all of them. Leave alone anything that is not obvious. The on-board peripheral settings section will be obvious. To change them, the method varies between boards, but usually entails hitting enter and selecting from a menu. You then have to return to the main menu and Save and Exit. On some boards you can F10 to do this, on others you have to step back with Esc then navigate to the option.

Re: [newbie] Who uses AC97?
I don't want to say something stupid but if I am not wrong there are 2 OSS drivers supporting AC97... they should be VIA82xx and VIA82xx-snd. Again if I am not wrong, Mandrake starts using the first one and if you switch to the second one everything should work fine. I don't remember how to do it because now I use another distro but you should be able to do it from the Mandrake Control Center.

Thanks Anne I have AC97 on-board running and it uses snd-via82xx as the driver Mine does not work either except I can play the CD with grip, not xmms. Sorry not much help. Might be a route worth following - had a look at grip, and at least it recognises the CD and gives me a track listing, which is more than I get from xmms. Still no sound though In xmms, on the left-hand, barely visible menu panel, right-click on the + at the top. Select Play Location, and type in /mnt/cdrom or whatever yours is called. Let us know whether that worked. Anne Partial success: it wouldn't take /mnt/cdrom but I had a look at a helpful page the Derek Jennings suggested on another thread which suggested that it might be under /dev. That worked, so now xmms gives me a track listing, and appears to play the CD, but still no sound. Aumix and Kmix are both unmuted, but still no sound - someone suggested I might need to adjust alsamixergui too, but it isn't working - see attached. Margot If you haven't already done so, check out the Install Software list and install anything that starts with alsa--- Anne I've now installed everything I could find for alsa, and alsamixergui is now visible - but I still have no sound. Have you tryed to run sndconfig again? Yes. Still the same result - it only finds the SB Live card that I haven't got (!) and then tells me the card is not supported. post your /etc/modules.conf -- Yankl Tiny IT guy. 100 % Micro$oft free.

Thanks Anne Hi Anne; I pasted a whole whack of a pile of stuff to compare for the viewing pleasure of the gurus to try to help Margot figure this out. AC97 is kind of misleading. It's a set of sound server codecs (compression decompression instructions) that work with the chipset to handle audio format files. They exist even in my SoundBlaster. There are also various flavours of AC97 instructions depending what year and what 'standard' the sound chip was designed in and for.

It all depends on the computer you have. Warning, it could be dangerous to play with your BIOS, if you do not know what specific parameter does do not change it.

F1- IBM; HP F10 - DELL ESC - Old Gateway F2 - PakardBell Look for a message that say Press some button to access setup You will get insight BIOS settings. BIOS stands for - basic input output system.
