What type of sound card are you using? Are you using ALSA or just the kernel driver? I assume that all other sound software works as expected? Mp3 streams via xmms, etc?

Konq file asociation
by Klaus Slott 27 Sep '02

27 Sep '02

Damm.. This must be a simple question. I just cant get it right: I would like to associate 'm3u' files at mp3.com to xmms insted of the build in player in konqueror. I've added xmms to the audio/mpegurl in file asociation inside konq. and moved it to the top. But when I hit a link konqueror still opens some other build in player. What did I miss? And by the way: Can I do this for all my users in some common kde file? -- Regards Klaus V. Slott

Re: Re: [suse-multimedia-e] TV tuner noisy audio

Hi, Unfortunately, there is no internal connector on my TV card. However, I have tried fine tuning the channels and found the following: For most channels, if I increase the freq by 1 or 2 MHz, I can get a channel with very clear audio but no picture. I wonder if it is hardware problem or software (driver) problem. Have anyone come across this problem or have a explanation for it? By the way, I am using SuSE 8.0. The drivers, kwintv and motv are of the versions that come with the distribution.

TV tuner noisy audio

Hi, I have got a PixelView PlayTV Pro TV (mono) tuner card and have installed the driver modules through YaST (the exact card model was selected manually). When I try to watch TV in motv and kwintv after scanning the channels, the picture is quite clear but the audio is very noisy (I can hardly hear the original audio of the programme). Does anyone come across this problem or have any suggestions what I can do?

Re: AW: [suse-multimedia-e] RICOH DVD/CDRW MP9120 unter Linux zum Laufen bringen...
by Juliane Bergmann 12 Sep '02

Hello, thank you for your readiness to help! I was not aware, that this is an english list, as I did the subscription on the german web-page of suse. Sorry. My question was, how to install the Ricoh DVD/CDRW MP9120 using linux 7.0 (yast does not yet contain this device). As I am not at all a linux expert, I would need some kind of step-by-step description. Unfortunately, I did not find a web page or anything dealing with this problem on the world wide web, so I had the idea to subscribe to this list and ask, if anybody could help me... Fortunately, John Monaghan is alreadey willing to give me some instructions :-) so I hope, it will work in the end!

AW: [suse-multimedia-e] RICOH DVD/CDRW MP9120 unter Linux zum Lau fen bringen...
by Monaghan, John 12 Sep '02

What exactly is the problem? I have a Ricoh CDRW drive, which Linux had no problems at all with (which is more than I can say for NT4!). Have you entered the right values into fstab, are you mounting the right drive? It also may be an idea to load the idescsi module so that Linux thinks that it is a scsi drive and can burn cds .
