[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: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm assuming you're issue is more than with the legacy MP3 format and you cannot play other sound files either? 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? Have you asked? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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

-Brandon ============= Brandon, If it's just mp3 files you can't play or hear, then you must be using

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.
