Hi All, I have just fixed my sound so I thought I'd share exactly what I did incase anyone else is still struggling.
I'm running Mandrake 10 CE on a Vaio Laptop. The install went perfectly but KDE crashed instantly and continued to do so until I switched off the sound using Kcontrol via IceWM. Neither XMMS nor Mplayer would play nicely with the sound, so I decided to try doing a lot of stuff to sort it out (since I've heard that KDE 3.2 uses a different sound method and it buggers with other things). Basically I did the following (it is quite possible that the last step is actually the only thing that made the difference!), 1) I removed arts 1.2 (forced) 2) I removed xmms 1.2.9 (forced) 3) I installed arts 1.1.3 (forced) 4) I installed xmms 1.1.3 (forced) After a reboot I still had no joy, so I finally went into Mandrake control's hardware config tool and had a look at the sound driver, It was set to snd-via82xx, which didn't look right... So I changed to driver to the alternative via82xx driver, rebooted and now everything works. Sorry if that sounds really wooly but I'm posting this from work and can't get to my laptop to see what I used. Hope this helps some people... Now I can get on with coding Blob Wars : Metal Blob Solid! :) Stevie :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
