Re: [newbie] aumix not working

2003-08-01 Thread Mike Adolf
Well! This is what I did -- not pretty!  I reinstalled 9.1.  I let the 
installer select the defaut driver cs46xx. After installation, I selectively 
installed alsa. Rebooted, cs46xx failed to load.  Went to harddrake and 
selected driver cs4232. Rebooted, cs4243 loaded. Now there is a speaker on 
the bottom right panel, wasn't there before.  Opened up kscd, put in an audio 
cd, and it worked!

Who knows? Some times I feel that linux is a house of cards.

Thanks for everybody's help!

I tend to agree, but since we often have to work with what we've

Meanwhile, I would run HardDrake from the mcc.  Select the card, and 
see what it says it is.  I can't remember the names on the two 
buttons on the right, but try them.  One of them will show suggested 
alternative drivers.  It sounds as though you have been trying to

Hello,

There have been numerous warnings concerning SBLive cards that say that have 
the emu10k1 chip but, in point of fact, do not.  The mere fact that this is 
possible, makes the SBLive an unatractive option for Linux.

Yes, as long as it is a *real* SBLive.  As I said, one that I bought 
as such was actually an Ensoniq, so it's necessary to see exactly 
what HardDrake believes it to be.  If it does see SBLive, then 
emu10k1 is the driver

The SBLive is actually "EMU10K1"
with the ALSA  driver

The mixer is a CS (mine is CS4297A)

I'm running a vanilla 9.1, no kernel updates.

Anne,
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I think the answer is no.  I 
looked at the list of available 'drivers' and there was an 'sb' but no 
SBLive. I am going to try some of the trouble shooting suggestions I found in 
HardDrake.  I'll let you know when I have more information. Thanks

Mike - does HardDrake recognise it as a SBLive?  The reason I ask is 
that many cards that were sold as such are actually other models.  
For instance, I have a box here with a card that I originally bought 
as a SBLive, but Mandrake says it is an Ensoniq, and with the es 
driver it works fine.

HardDrake recommends somelike (I not at my machine) cs49xx but if you use that one it 
errors out on boot.  I have it set at cs4232 and it worked at one time. But as it says 
above, aumix kept setting mute all, until it quit running.

The Audigy card doesn't use alsa, and the SBLive5.1 card had a lot of 
problems with also under 9.0.  I don't know what the situation is 
with it now, but does HardDrake say which driver it recommends?

Ok, there is no ALSA driver loaded. What's the output of
'less /etc/modules.conf | grep sound'? You should get
'alias sound-slot-0 '. Then you can check with
'/sbin/lsmod | grep ' if the driver is loaded.

/sbin/lsmod | grep snd-

What is the output of '/sbin/lsmod | grep snd-'?

alsamixergui might save you. If not, i'm not sure what to do about aumix
not running.

Maybe delete ~/.aumixrc ?

Anyway, once you get that sorted out, here is what i did to make my
sound work for my first install (the second time i installed it worked
from the start...):

0. Run and save kmix

1. Run the aumix gui (i just type aumix at the cl)
2. Under Mute, "Mute All" is checked (despite the sliders being
non-zero).
Click "Mute All" to uncheck it   (this will actually mute all:
 the sliders all go to zero)
3. Now go back and reselect mute all  (the sliders then all go back to 
 non-zero values)
4. Save settings

5. Sound should now work, try  alsamixergui if not

IF you're running ALSA drivers:

after installing the alsa-utils, i ran alsactl store (as root) 
and rebooted.  Sound worked on bootup w/o fiddling...
