[newbie-it] problemi scheda audio integrata
già che ci sono...posto anche una seconda domanda... ho seguito i vari post sulle schede audio,cercando di trarne giovamento,ma non mi sono stati molto di aiuto...allora, io ho una scheda madre Matsonic MS9307C+ con scheda audio integrata, che Mandrake 9.1 riconosce come SiS 7012 PCI Audio Accelerator utilizzante driver ALSA snd-intel8x0...ora, tutto bene, solo che per insondabili motivi, le mie casse rimangono mute rispetto ogni cd audio, file mp3, suono di sistema! ma la cosa + strana è che ogni tanto invece funzionano alla perfezione, senza che io abbia fatto nulla di particolare!!in effetti una cosa faccio, ossia alzare il volume con aumix/kmix...il problema è che la maggior parte delle volte, aumix e kmix non me li lascia nemmeno aprire! è anche vero che talvolta, durante il caricamento, esce FAILED rispetto al caricamento del driver audio...PERCHE? riciao, Alberto

io sono nella tua stessa situazione... Per me è differente, comprendo abbastanza l'inglese, però non capisco il senso, ma soprattutto come procedere per tutte quelle manovre in..linuxese!! cmq per quel poco che ho capito,si tratta di update della distro per bugs-fix, scarichi gli update crei un cd boottable con gli aggiornamenti e aggiorni. anche io ho capito questo, però quando ti dice come completarel'opera con delle manovre sul kernel mi.perdo! ...di scaricarti la MKD 9.2-beta2 (se hai banda) potrei provare, ma quanto ci si può fidare di una versione beta???!! E' soprattutto visto che ad oggi ho solo letto tanto su linux ma in realtà non l'ho, purtroppo, ancora installato ed usato, in caso di problemi non capirei se quello che andrei ad usare è funzionante oppure c'è un bug da correggere oppure ancora è colpa del mio hardware! Così rischierei di confondermi le idee!!! Grazie, Rocco. P. S. ho provato a girare questo problema anche alla ML [EMAIL PROTECTED] , che ho attivato per l'occasione. Però ad oggi non ho ricevuto indietro altro che il mio stesso post. Ti risulta che qualla ML funzioni?!

If all you are using is 1 CD drive and 1 HDD things should run faster using 1 drive on each IDE channel. Make sure both drives are set as master.

I went to Elsa's Webpage and linux info is in GERMAN. Natually they have M$ info in english. Had Mandrake 7.2 Power pack running on the same machine fine until HD Meltdown. I need step by step help. At a total loss. Internet no help. Neither KDE or Gnome will come up at boot. Always command line. Where do I get a driver? How do I get it? Can I use my M$ machine to get it? How do I install it at command line? Totally fustrated. Please Help!! Run XFdrake and see if you can't get the XWindows settings back to normal - once you've ran that, try running startx again to see if XWindows is going to come up... -- Mon Aug 11 07:30:00 EST 2003 07:30:00 up 7 days, 11:18, 1 user, load average: 1.79, 2.12, 2.42 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * BOFH excuse #193: Did you pay the new Support Fee?

It's this speed drop thing that's weird: it starts copying with 9Mb per sec .. but quickly drops to 3,2,1 Mb/sec (quickly as in in 30 seconds). Well, something is definitely up with that - do you have both HD's on the same cable?

This is probably common knoweldge but it is from a time before I did much with computer hardware. Will a Celeron socket 370 processor generally work on a moutherboard where a socket 370 Duron processor of similar speed was removed? Sorry to get off topic but I have been Googleing around for quite a while and have been unable to find a answer. I figured some of you folks would know. Thanks Marc KM5KW Thanks to all that offered advice on this. I solved all my problems and for a few bucks ebayd a MOBO for my homeless CPU and a CPU for my brainless MOBO along with a few sticks of memory. I guess I will just end up with 1 extra machine built from my piles of used parts. But I should be able to find homes for them. This is starting to get a bit interisting. I live near a small town , population around 500 with other small towns around it, the kind of place where everybody knows what all is going on around town and in the surrounding area and I seem to be 1 of the only people around that can build or repair a computer for 20 miles around. It's kind of a part time job or hobby at this point. People around town are are starting to talk about their ML boxes and people are starting to ask me about ML. I build at least 1 computer a month sometimes a lot more that is a linux machine for someone around here. Thats not a lot until you figure in the small total population. Another year or 2 and Norfork Arkansas and the surrounding area may have the highest percentage of Mandrake linux users in the US. The effect seems to be snowballing and I am enjoying seeing Microsoft getting their butts kicked on a local level. LOL Thanks All Marc KM5KW Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
