Is this sound device disabled in bios? Does it work in the other OS? Can you use play in konsole? Interesting it says it could not load the module not that it was missing or unsupported.

It will find the card and install proper drivers.

Re: [opensuse] Cannot hear any sound
[...] Brandon, If it's just mp3 files you can't play or hear, then you must be using the SuSE files for your Amarok. Go to Packman mirrors to get the fixed files(Amarok, etc) to install/replace the SuSE ones. But if no sound is working, you'll need to still replace the files, but also do a bit more investigation. I don't know what I am using for Amarok. The sound has never worked in this machine, because I don't think i set it up correctly originally. [...] Built-in sound is a hit and miss with SuSE many times. Sometimes you have good luck, other times not so good. But it's not all SuSE's fault either, because the built-in sound is not the best choice if you value your sound quality. Get a good sound card to add to the system, if possible. It's very seldom, if at all, that the motherboard manufacturer will provide Linux drivers, so I'm not sure what you installed. I am pretty sure I found the correct driver for my built in sound, as I said in my previous post. It came with a shell script to install it, and it seemed to install correctly. [...] Hopefully helpful, Lee I have a feeling the problem might have something to do with me switching machines. I used to have this hard drive in a different machine, but now I updgraded to a faster processor. The sound didn't work then either. I'm not gonna spend the money on a nice sound card for this box, because it mainly acts as a server for my lan, but it would be nice to be able to review some of the mp3's the various users upload to it. It's not something I absolutely need, but it would be nice. Thanks, -Brandon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Go to Packman mirrors to get the fixed files(Amarok, etc) to install/replace the SuSE ones. But if no sound is working, you'll need to still replace the files, but also do a bit more investigation. As John mentions, the driver/module for your motherboard sound is already part of the kernel, so no need to install other files or recompile the kernel. Built-in sound is a hit and miss with SuSE many times. Sometimes you have good luck, other times not so good. But it's not all SuSE's fault either, because the built-in sound is not the best choice if you value your sound quality. Get a good sound card to add to the system, if possible. It's very seldom, if at all, that the motherboard manufacturer will provide Linux drivers, so I'm not sure what you installed. There was a trick involved in an earlier version of SuSE to get this working when you get the error you mention. I'm sorry, I don't remember what that was. You might be able to check the email archives to get an answer. Hopefully helpful, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not if that module snd-via82xx exists Mine is in /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-default/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via82xx.ko the kernel version may differ on your machine. You need to find out a) that snd-via82xx.ko exists on your machine, and b) what the interrupts should be. Might scan thru /var/log/boot.msg to find these or try lspci You might then try modprobe or insmod to manually load snd-via82xx.ko and see if the log reveals anything. -- _ John Andersen pgpFGQS4RxuP7.pgp Description: PGP signature

When you go to YaST to setup your sound, and it states not-configured, then try a generic ac97 driver. Then test the sound. (I think there's a button thingy in YaST to test your sound.) What do you get there? Failing all this - does your mainboard manufacturer include a linux driver for the sound card?

[opensuse] Cannot hear any sound
Hey, I posted this about a week or so ago, and got no response, so I'll try again. I have a sound card built in to my motherboard, and for some reason I cannot get it to play mp3 files. I downloaded the correct driver for it, from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC and I used the installer script they provided and it seemed to work fine. But when I try to start amarok 1.4 to try and play a file, I get an error saying "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." When I try to do a "cat tst>/dev/audio" or "cat tst>/dev/dsp", with "tst" just being a text file, I get an error: "bash: /dev/dsp: No such device" and "bash: /dev/audio: No such device". I am running openSUSE 10.2 on the KDE gui. Also, when I go into "hardware>sound" in Yast, it shows the device as "not configured," but when I do a "quick automatic setup" it says: "An error occurred during the installation of 'VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller'. The kernel module snd-via82xx for sound support could not be loaded. The can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." Does that mean I have to recompile the kernel? -Brandon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
