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
