Hello all...
I'm using SuSE 8.2 and having a dickens of a time with getting the sound to work consistently. I use the SB Live! Value card in a Dell 2.5 GHz machine with 1 GHz RAM. I can't get CD's or MIDI files to play sound even though their respective app's are "working" (elapsed time controls moving, etc). I have system sounds and I'm able to listen to streaming audio via the Internet (ShoutCast) and XMMS works as well except the volume control doesn't function (have to use KMix or others to adjust volume). Another strange thing I've noticed is when using Gamix, it starts off saying no soundcard is available or sound has not been configured yet. I'm completely lost by this audio thing and hope one of you gurus can figure it out. TIA! -- Zach
Linux--Doing to Microsoft what the DOJ couldn't
Hi Zach, The sound stuff in Linux can be funky sometimes. I've noticed that once in a while out of nowhere, I'll get the same popup, telling me no soundcard has been configured yet, but the sound will still work. What I do then, is just open a console, stretch it out a bit (640x480 is fine), and as root, do alsaconf . Once I'm done, it *usually* fixes things, sometimes it doesn't, and then I just delete the soundcard in YaST2, and 'make a new one'. It doesn't take hardly any time at all, and one or the other gets things back straight again...for me at least. John - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin. So I went out and caught this huge ugly blue and red and green and yellow butterfly. They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2sHMH5oDXyLKXKQRAkVjAKCnSSOGPa7n12rm2Z2JL7RqEAhFLwCfRIND /QgViPj8PJUbN6ZGWtFn91k= =rAPx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
