Re: [newbie] Help! Sound not working in 9.2 with via82xx: solved
Just for future reference. I downloaded the ALSA 9.0 RC6 package, but did not yet install it. But yesterday evening when I was playing with the Mandrake Control Centre again, I changed to the OSS driver for the Via chip and also disabled ALSA at boot. This morning when I started up the computer there was sound. So the solution was to use the OSS driver instead of the ALSA one. The next challenge will be ACPI.

It will write the driver configuration into /etc/modules.conf but be aware it will overwrite the existing contents, and will not replace the non sound lines of the file. So make a backup before running alsaconf and replace the non sound lines by hand afterwards. derek Derek, Thank you very much for the link. I didn't know this and it helped me to run alsaconf. It created a new version of the modules.conf but that was fine because I had backed up the file because you warned me. Since then I do not get a warning anymore when starting kmix from a terminal, but I also still do not have any sound. Is there anything else that I can do? TIA, Erik You must raise the volumes of the relevant channels _and_ unmute them. In kmix unmuting a channel is done by clicking on the green led. It should be bright green. HTH, -Frans __ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com I think that the problem is not with the volume. 'Inhabitant of Zion' advised me to look on the ALSA list. I searched their pages and found out that it seems to be a problem with recent versions of ALSA. Others had the same problem and were advised to go back to ALSA 9.0 RC6. This is what I will now try to do. Anyway, thank you very much for your help!
