Re: [Alsa-user] Newbie question - cannot get sound to work in Ubuntu

Nigel, Well, as I said in my private email (forgot to include the mailing list), I connected up my USB box, and can now both record and play back using arecord and aplay. So the problem seems to be in the configuration of the SB sound card. It was a cheap OEM one, so probably isn't well supported

Nigel, Oops - forgot to mention that I'm using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). There seem to be quite a few people who've had problems with sound in GG. But none of the solutions on the Ubuntu bulletin board has helped me. Best regards, Peter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ptoye.com

[Alsa-user] Newbie question - cannot get sound to work in Ubuntu

I've just started to play with Ubuntu, but cannot get the sound system and ALSA to work. No help from the Ubuntu forums, so I'm hoping for help here. The configuration looks OK to my totally untutored gaze, but when I try to do anything it doesn't work. The sound card's a fairly old (2000 vintage)

Hello... In order to try out Rosegarden, I installed the ALSA v0.9.0rc7 drivers. (I'm running RedHat 7.3, kernel 2.4.18-3, on an i586, with an ISA PnP ESS 1869-based sound card). Trying to run Rosegarden on a computer with a 500Mhz CPU may be wishful thinking, but that's another story... When

My sound now works thanks to some great advice, and I have all my modules loading up at system startup. However, my mixer does not hold the settings I give it before rebooting my system. Is this something that I can automate or do I need to do it by hand every time? Thanks for any help. J
