Re: [expert] KWeather

Hi Anne, This is very puzzling. The configuration only offers me 'Look up your ICAO code'. The box requires a 4-digit code, which I don't know. When I move on to the select page, the search facility only offers me Federal, States and Territories. Entering a UK town, city or county in the

Re: [expert] KAudioCreator ML9.2

Tried your suggestion. We must have different versions or something is not loading completely on my system. If I go to KaudioCreator - Settings - Configure KaudioCreator - Options - KAudioCreator, I find 3 icons, the first CD Config and the Configure AudioCD ioslave in the right pannel.

Hi Rob, I tried running alsamixer to check the speaker volumes, but I get a complaint: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. First, if you do chkconfig --list, is alsa running? the other one is service --status-all |more (because iptables always runs

Re: [expert] Trish's further adventures with sound

Hi Anne, Hi, Trish. I'm no expert at this, but I play midi files with kmidi - note that with kmid I get nothing at all. Have you tried kmidi? I've tried KMidi, KMid, playmidi with the -e switch (since otherwise it says no playback device) - and they all lock the system completely. (KMail

[expert] Trish's further adventures with sound

Hi all, Now that I've got alsa working with my CD, I've gone off to search ways to get MIDI working. I have a sneaking fondness for playmidi and have quite a collection of MIDI files; I'd hate to have to give 'em up! Alas! although I've progressed past utter silence and incomprehension from

[expert] Interesting times with sound

Hi folks, I'm hoping that someone will have been through this! I've got a new PC, and I'm attempting an install of 8.2 (waiting for the 9.1 CDs to arrive). I've installed ALSA, with some success - the sound is an onboard VIA8233/AC97, and I can play MP3s, I'm getting some noises out of KDE

Re: [expert] Interesting times with sound

Hi Joeb, If you try playing it in KsCD do you get the same results? As for the mixers, even though you hear wav files and mp3s, etc. that doesn't guarantee that the audio for the CD itself is enabled (although you indicate it is in your case). CD playback uses a different mixer setting

Re: [expert] Interesting times with sound

Argh! It might be the cable. I was hoping for software; there's this Intimidating Sticker on the case saying Do Not Remove. Goshdarnit. That's why they put it there - they don't want you to learn that the cheap SOBs left out the CD audio cable when they built the box. :) You might

Hi Alex, In a few words, my mouse has ceased to function. Here's what happened: Don't know which version of mdk you're using, or whether you're using X, or whether you're using gdm. I have gdm set not to start on boot using 8.2, as I've found it conflicts with the mouse driver used by X.
