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?

[newbie] Sound Card
I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 5.1 PCI sound card and I have just about had enough with sound card problems with this computer. Over the past couple of years, I started with Mandrake 8.2 and upgraded to 9.0 and 9.1 During my really initial learning phase, I reloaded Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0 several times each. The only problem that I had (and it occurred everytime) was I had to struggle with getting the sound to work all the way. I got the sound to work with 9.1 for the most part with the exception of the Surround sound until recently someone had a solution that fixed the Surround sound. Yesterday, during something I was doing, I trashed my / directory and had to reload 9.1 for the second time. Guess what -- the sound doen't work at all again. I have tried everything that I did in the past, researched the newbie list (and there are thousands of entries on sound problems) tried everything I could find there and still no sound. My rant is that every time that I have had to install a new version or reinstall an old version I have had to fiddle-dick with this sound card and the solution has appeared to be different every time. SO THE POINT TO THIS LONG AND TIRED EMAIL IS -- I know that someone (and I remember it as being Anne) bought a sound card that came with Linux drivers and worked out of the box. I don't mind the occasional learning experience but this is one of those problems that I would like to make permanently go away. Is there a particular Sound card that works?

The problem is that is is comin through the microphone jacket Try the alsamixergui (you will probably have to install the RPM) There are 'mute' buttons in there you can check. Depending on the sound card, people have reported they have had to adjust aumix, alsamixergui, or kmix before getting sound. In some cases people have had to adjust more than one mixer. There is no way the Linux driver could cause sound to come out of your microphone jack. What you are hearing is 'crosstalk' between the electrical circuits in the sound card. This indicates the sound driver is working, but the ouput is being inhibited. Hence check the mute buttons. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Both Winblows98 or Mandrake 8.x Most ready made systems (like your Compaq) don't allow/have needed bios options, even some good hardware has a hard time overcomin win-hardware crap. Best solution (tho the trend is against it), is not to buy win-orientainted-hardware in the first damn place. I knew better when I bought an otherwise good motherboard but it's gettin real hard lately not to settle for Billy- tainted-hardware. This is M$'s real crime. Another fault is that Linux sort'a sux when it comes to sound. I'm back to usin onboard AC97 with ALSA system wide, and forcin some apps that don't like ALSA (mplayer, xmms), to use OSS. aRts is history in this scenario ;( -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I haven't seen 8.0 for a few years, so if I get this wrong, please someone correct me. at any rate Spyros, you can do this one of two ways. (1) open a terinal window and use the setuptools utility. when you activate this utility it will either initialize the X gui or will run in the terminal itself. on the menu you're presented with there will be a menu item that will allow you to configure your sound card. it's a small wizard that is simple and straight forward. (2) open Mandrake Control Center, and go to the Hardware item shown on the left of the main panel, click on Hardware, then expand the sound card item in the list; you will see a sound card in the right pane as long as Mandrake picked up the card upon installation. you should also see the card listed as a sub-item in the left pane. click on the sound card in the left pane and hit the configure button in the right pane. a list of drivers will be presented to you with it defaulting to what yours should be. hit the OK button and listen for the audio clip to be played. if you here it click the yes button and you're done. if you didn't hear it and you're sure that you chose the correct driver for your card turn up the volume on your speakers and repeat the last procedure. IF you still don't hear the audio clip then it's likely you have a bit more configuring to do to get your sound working. Mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Sound Card Rear Speakers
I have several Creative PCI128 sound cards that have two speaker jacks: a main and a secondary or rear jack. I've noticed that I never seem to get any sound from the second jack. I was wondering if this is normal. Does the second speaker output only work in certain games with surround encoding or something? Suppose you were playing mp3s or CDs. Is it normal for only the main speaker jack to have sound? This is with speakers plugged into both jacks.

[newbie] Sound card recommendation for IBM Aptiva 2168 using Mandrake 8.
Hi again, Does anyone recommend a PCI sound card for an IBM Aptiva 2168 using Mandrake 8?? I know that Linux in theory supports many sound cards, but I would like to find a card that is easily recognized by Mandrake 8, as I am a newbie to Linux and would like to avoid the worst difficulties, including trying to return a card that I can't get to work with Mandrake. I realize there are a large number of cards listed on the Mandrake site, but I am interested in personal experiences/recommendations.

Re: [newbie] Sound card recommendation for IBM Aptiva 2168 using Mandrake 8.
Unless you had a particular need for amazing sound quality (which seems pointless to me when the case fans make such a noise), I would suggest a cheap BRANDED card like a Creative Sound Blaster PCI Linux detects it straight away, and it works in all modes.

Mandrake has never failed to detect and configure any of the Creative SoundBlaster cards that I've ever tried, up to and including the SB Live!. Support for the Audigy is iffy, so don't bother with it, yet. If you only want sound, get one of the SB 16 PCI series. Cheap ($19 here), and no frills, no hassle. e.

[newbie] Sound Card: Opti PnP
Hi,
First and foremost, I would like to apologise for the lengthy mail,
but I am sure those that are willing to help me will find the info.
important. Please note that there may be some incorrections because
I am on another location/machine at the moment and am writing this from
some notes I took at the time.
I am newbie at Linux/Unix and attempted to install Mandrake Liniux 8.1 on a
AMD 200+ with 64 Mbytes of RAM and two volumes (4 and 1.5 Giba
respectivelly).
On volume 1 I had (have?) a:
a) Dos partition of 100 MBytes (for booting)
b) FAT 32 w/ Win95 (+/- 2G)
c) NTFS (a little less than 2G)
On volume 2 is:
a) Free for Linux (/dev/hdb)
I have had some trouble on boot issues (explained in another e-mail) and am
now
attempting to install my sound card. Just in case this helps: I also
installed a HP Deskject
printer which was correctly set-up and is functioning. The S3 Video card was
correctlly
detected (!!), installed and is running. The monitor (SAMTRON 95P Plus) was
not listed so I
used a high freq. SVGA set-up and this seems to work fine. On install I had
an IOMega Zip
drive connected between the LPT1 and the printer. The install indicated a
detection of an
IMM SCSI and asked if I had any more (answered no because I only have a two
port IDE).
The modem was correctly installed and seems to be working fine. I still need
to configure
the mail clients before all is ok at the network end (hence the need to send
e-mail via another
machine).
Several problems seem to be festering:
1) During the boot-up, some indications of DMA time-out when accessing
/dev/hdb are
showing. The machine seems to react very sluggishly, don't know if it is
this.
2) The modules file (sorry don't recall the /etc/'s file name) shows two
SCSI adapters
(sda1 and sda6) if I remember correctly.
3.) Mandrake's control center shows the detection of 2 unknown devices. This
seems to be
related to the sound card.
4.) The sound card doesn't work.
5.) OpenGL screen savers don't work.
After some reading I am aware that two steps exist to handle installation of
devices:
a) The detection of the devices (PnP and the isapnptools)
b) The instalation of the modules (drivers in win-speak?) with the
{xxx}mode{xxx}
routines like insmod and modeprobe.
What happened:
The install seemd to detect the sound card correctly (OPTi PnP card). When I
launch
Mandrakes control center, the sound cards listed in the hardware section
show two entries:
1) the sound card: vendor unkown, module mad16
2) the MPU401: vendor unkown and modeule unkown.
When I select the card, attempt to alter the IRQ's and DMA as per Win95
configuration,
the configuration application gives the following error:
modprobe: can't locate module isa-pnp.
The detection seems to have worked fine save for two unkown entries. When I
attempt to
install the modules as follows:
modprobe -v mad16
I get the follwing error:
hint:insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
IO or IRQ
parameters.
When I look at the /etc/isapnp.gone file I see all the lines with IRQ and
DMA cahnnel
data commented. The /etc/isapnp.conf seems to be very confusing.
Question: How should I proceed to corrcet the sound card installation?
Should I attempt a new
detection (isapnp?), change parameters (in the /etc/isapnp.conf) or
attempt installing the modules
in a different manner (how?).
TIA.
Hugo

Re: [newbie] Sound card recommendation
I'm assuming you're continuing to run LM7.2, just get a cheap Soundblaster card. Stay away from those Yamaha cards because the drivers for them still don't work that great. The Yamaha's problem is more apparent when you're playing mpeg videos and the audio/video struggle to stay synchronized.

Re: [newbie] sound card and cd player
On-board sound is basically your sound card attached to your motherboard. A sound card is a seperate peice of equipment which typically goes into an ISA or PCI slot. Onboard sound cannot be removed from the board, but the card can. You can sometimes disable the onboard sound though (either through a jumper on the board, or in the BIOS) and then use a regular sound card.

Re: [newbie] sound card and cd player
I have a compaq 5220 . The only thing I really know about the sound is that it says it has Yamaha XG 128 Voice Wavetable Sound. There is no sound card recognized in harddrake and I don't get sound on the web or when I play mpegs, but I can play cd's with the cd player (although the volume control doesn't worK). I have also tried to configure a sound card with sndconfig unsuccessfully--it doesn't find one. If I have onboard sound would the system find a card? How can I get my onboard sound to work with mpegs and stuff on the web and not just cd's?

[newbie] Sound card drivers
Hi, It looks like I got 'make' installed, because when I tried it, I got a message that said "no rule to make target". What I had done is this: make /mnt/floppy/au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz makefile install10 The file to install the drivers is supposed to be in this location, but as I said, I got the message above. What have I done wrong? Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks. Guy
Re: [newbie] Sound card drivers
Yeah, if you tried make while su'd to root, then it probably isn't installed. Find it on the mdk CD (so you know where to look). Open kpackage, let it go through it's search for programs, then, the easy way is just to click the open tab and search for it in /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS. Click on it and check the kpackage install box. That will probably do the trick. Or, do an upgrade to Developer--there's lots of stuff in developer that you'll need, eventually. If not, there's always the command line--copy the package to /usr, cd to /usr then (as root) #rpm -ivh the_package_name eryl I finally got into the floppy and unzipped the tar file. When I typed in the 'make' command, I was told it wasn't found. So I did a search with MC and it didn't find it either. So I guess now I'll have to install it from the CD. How do I do that? Please be very explicit,as I truly am a complete newbie. Thanks. Guy GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Re: [newbie] Sound card drivers
Relax, it ain't that hard. I have this card on two different linux boxes and it works great--Clapton's spinning as I write.

Type the following install commands: If you have an 8830-based card make install If you have an 8810-based card make install10 If you have an 8820-based card make install20 You don't need to reboot. If you get unresolved symbol errors you need to rebuild your kernel with the sound support (soundcore) built in (not as a module) -- but I never have had that problem.

[newbie] Sound card drivers
Hello, Hopefully this is the right place to ask. I'm trying to install drivers for my Aureal sound card. I downloaded the drivers from a site, but I don't know how to unarchive it. The file name is au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz. I've been given examples of how to unzip it, but so far nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated. The file is now on a floppy disk. I downloaded the file to win98 and then I copied it to a floppy. Now when I boot into Mandrake 8.0, I tried to unzip and couldn't. Would it be better if I moved it to the Mandrake partition and then unzip it, or is okay to try and unzip it on the floppy. If it's better to copy it, then will someone explain to me how to do that. I am very new at Linux, so the simplest explanation would be appreciated. Thanks to anyone who replies. Guy Gauthier GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Re: [newbie] Sound card drivers
Have you run sndconfig in a text console? if you have any questions about how to do this let me know. also what is the error message you get when you try to unzip it and what command are you using? also to untar a *.tar.gz file I believe the command is (with out the quotes of course) tar xzf /path/to/file/to/open where path/to/file/to/open is changed to the correct path to the file on your computer. to copy a file the command is cp filename /place/to/put file On Thursday 26 July 2001 16:47, Guy R Gauthier wrote: Hello, Hopefully this is the right place to ask.

Re: [newbie] Sound card drivers
You don't have to copy it over. In a terminal, cd /to/where/you/want/it/unzipped enterthen tar -zxvf /mnt/floppy/au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz enter Then cd au88xx-1.0.5 enter then cat INSTALL enter and cat README enter (use: ls to give you list of files). That will probably tell you to use the commands: ./configure, make, su, root password, make install Then you will probably/maybe have to put something in your /etc/modules.conf file, but the INSTALL should tell you. -s BTW, if you want to copy something, use cp. ex.: cp /mnt/floppy/au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz /home/you/whatever/ If you want to copy a directory, use -r, ex.: cp -r /home/you/ /mnt/win_c/windows/Desktop/ On Thursday 26 July 2001 03:47 pm, you wrote: Hello, The file is now on a floppy disk.

Re: [newbie] Sound Card and Printers
Good. IF you do not have CUPS, install it. Then, I run it through netscape by typing in http://localhost:631/, I have found that if immediately after installing CUPS, this doesn't work. I am sure there is something you could change to make it work, but to me it is easier just to reboot. Once you have the CUPS administration tool running, click on 'printers'. From here, you can add a printer. You can give it whatever name you want. From here, you click continue and you have to pick a device. What works for me, even though I have HP JetDirect cards, is to pick lpd/lpr host or printer. Here, it asks for the URL. It says lpd already, append to lpd and make it lpd://10.88.65.2(or whatever the IP address would be) Then, you have to pick the models and such of your printer. You should then be done. If you do this on one computer that is on all the time, that is all you should have to do to your system if your DNS is working properly. Mine isn't, so right now I have done this to all my computers and the printers on other computers show up, but I can't print to them. It is irritating stuff. But I am sure you are better off than me on this subject.
