[newbie] sound card configuration
Hello Have installed sound blaster 16pci sound card. Hardrake recognized and listed 2 driver-for oss and alsa. Set for alsa and got the follwing message when applying:Informational-artsmessage--error while initializing sound driver:device: default can't be opened for playback(no such device). Sound server will continue using the null device. Have double checked connections and everything seems ok. Is there something else that needs to be checked or changed?

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 Configuration Problem
Hello! I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.2. I´m trying to configure the soundcard. It is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16. I use HardDrake to setup the parameters: E/S IRQ DMA etc... Then I pulse OK and TRY. I heard perfectly the message Your sound card was successfully configured by SoundRec twice one for 8 bit and another for 16 bit. And then appears a window with an STOP message in Spanish (my mother tongue) that I don´t know how to translate to you. Error en la llamada a modprobe! /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: init module dispositivo o recurso ocupado /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: failed /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: insmod midi0 failed I look in the help and discover that this mean that another modprobe module is in memory and I have to remove it with modprobe -r name_of_the_module_in_memory_that_I_want_to_remove. My problem now is how to discover the name of the module in memory. Anybody know how to find it? Any other ideas respect my problem?

At several megacycles distance (in my case Add a further 12 hours!!) into the future, it's very difficult to know what the user did before - yes?? An assumption has to made about the experience of the poster - has he/she been watching the list?? All those kinds of things. Looking back at the original message from Ian, the manner in which he phrased it, the implication that he is hierarchy-aware of other linux distributions, and last but not least - the manner in which he phrased the question - lead/leads me to conclude that he like some of the rest of us often suffer 'brain-farts' - a prompt of that nature is adequate. Once again the it comes back to plain common sense. If you ask a question - you should at the very least tell the list what you have already tried, what the result was including as much detail as possible about error messages. "I put the key in - but my car won't start" "Why is my tire only flat at the bottom??" Every new subscriber to the list gets a confirmation email in which instructions/recommendations are given on how to phrase messages and how to remove yourself from the list. It is blatantly obvious that many (most) of the those who demand to be removed trashed that email somewhere in the region of 50 years _BEFORE_ they joined. Come-on now, there no need for these things to be continually restated - it's plain common sense. As is the next - If you don't know the answer to why the car above won't start, should you not suggest "Did you turn the key to see if the starter would operate" - seems fairly sensible. -- ICQ# 89345394 Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected" (The UNIX Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June 1972.)

The upshot is that my sound card would work if configured right, but doesn't.

Re: [newbie] Sound card configuration problems
its common sense when they post hey i did this and yet you give them a reply telling them to do the exact same thing that they said didnt work in one message this doesnt make sense to me. and i have had to deal with it myself i say hey i ran this program and it killed my system, your reply hey run this program that killed my system, i find this ignorant In a message dated 21-Sep-00 01:17:22 Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Come-on now, there no need for these things to be continually restated - it's plain common sense.
