Weired sound with Suse 9.0 and KDE control center

by Günter Dannoritzer

Hi, ... Actually, it is not the sound that is weired, but the way how I have to activate my sound. When I log in with KDM I have the normal system sounds. However, if I want to start another sound application, like the ALSA player or XMMS, I don't get any sound output. Starting the ALSA player turns my mouse pointer in the hour glass for several seconds, like when the application is started, and then nothing happens. Starting XMMS works fine, but when I want to play a song, I get the error message, that the sound driver is not accessible. The weired thing now is, that if I start the KDE control center, go to the sound configuration and press the 'apply' button, without actually changing anything, suddenly the ALSA player pops up and starts playing, and the XMMS plays now as well. Can anybody give me a hint what is going on with my computer? It looks to me something is hogging the sound driver, but why does it get released after 'applying' the control center configuration? BTW, I have a Micro-Star motherboard with on board 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller. Thanks for the help. Guenter

How can I update ALSA in SUSE 9.0

by Paul Berry

Hello, I have a laptop with SUSE 9.0 installed (ALSA 0.9.6). I am happy with the 9.0 distro so I'm not looking to upgrade this laptop to SUSE 9.1. However I would really like to update ALSA to 1.0.6 (or later), does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks, Paul

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Kworld MPEG tvtuner , Pinnacle Stereo TV card

by Alin-Adrian Anton

KdeTV shows ALSA and OSS as sound drivers, none of them working. XMMS can play sound fine. Remember the ALSA errors from dmesg? Any idea of how to get sound in KdeTV working? Regards, Alin-Adrian Anton.

Re: sound problems

by Rainer

thanks for the reply, the whole digital/audio/ide discrepancy has never been an issue before. i don't have a digital cable, i use audio for playback and ide (digital audio extraction) for ripping. that always seemed to work automatically, even on linux. but knowing alsa, they probably wanted to add another setting on their mixer ( i counted 37 on mandrake 10 for my audigy!!!). i think i mentioned earlier, i have sound disabled in control center (i'm not worried about system sounds at this point!). this is what i did, -enabled sound in kde control center - changed to oss - tried kscd - no joy -tried xmms - no joy -changed to digital audio extraction in xmms - cd audio works -disabled sound in kde control center - cd audio still works on xmms there seems to be no rhyme or reason to these problems. it was easier to set up an isa sound card with parameters with oss. my guess is there is a setting in alsa mixer for this. i found something called 'audigy cd' that sounded like it might fit and was unmuted but at zero. pushed it up to 80 and switched back to analog in xmms - l no sound. i am extremely frustrated with this issue and suse 9.1 in general. i'm also diappointed to hear there is no support for sound. they probably don't think it's necessary?! is this a novell thing? i didn't have any problems with sound on 8.1. is it the 2.6 kernel? is it alsa? ( i've had a lot of problems alsa elsewhere - namely fedora core2 x86_64). anyway, suse slapped this mess together so they are responsible! anyhow, i apprecaite the help i'm getting here. and since i laid down a good chunk of dough on suse pro (ha-ha) 9.1 i'm committed (forced) to finding solutions. hope there are some clues in my latest attempts. thanks

RE: sound problems ...

by Rainer

thanks for the replies i just added the re: myself, i have a feeling when i use reply it's not getting back to the list. after installing gnome and then going back to kde i can play mp3s on xmms in kde. cd's play intermittantly on xmms, no sound with kscd. i don't really understand the kde questions, i installed the default kde desktop, i assume it installed it's sound server. i don't remember having the oppotunity to choose anything. in control center > sound system i have sound disabled right now but under hardware > audio device alsa was selected by default. the kernel is the original from the dvd, i was advised not to update during a new install. haven't done anything since because i haven't found info explaining why i should yet. alsamixer settings always come up umuted and with a decent level for the main values, master, pcm etc. i can't speak for all of them - there are way too many!!! here's lsmod; Module Size Used by vfat 16000 0 fat 48320 1 vfat nls_iso8859_1 5504 1 ntfs 85336 1 snd_seq_oss 35840 0 snd_seq_midi 10304 0 snd_emu10k1_synth 9856 0 snd_emux_synth 44288 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 9216 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_event 9216 3 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq_midi_emul 9728 1 snd_emux_synth pppoe 15360 0 pppox 4240 1 pppoe af_packet 23052 2 ppp_generic 31904 4 pppoe,pppox slhc 8192 1 ppp_generic nls_utf8 2560 0 snd_seq 59840 9 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_midi_emul joydev 11264 0 sg 40248 0 st 41764 0 sd_mod 20992 0 sr_mod 17700 0 scsi_mod 127392 4 sg,st,sd_mod,sr_mod floppy 63728 0 usbserial 34424 0 parport_pc 39616 1 lp 12008 0 parport 45196 2 parport_pc,lp ehci_hcd 29444 0 uhci_hcd 32800 0 ohci1394 33412 0 ieee1394 114392 1 ohci1394 evdev 10752 0 cpufreq_userspace 6880 0 powernow_k8 9480 0 ipv6 279144 13 snd_pcm_oss 63908 0 freq_table 5128 1 powernow_k8 snd_mixer_oss 21376 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_ioctl32 17920 0 thermal 14348 0 processor 18108 2 powernow_k8,thermal fan 4488 0 snd_emu10k1 95268 8 snd_emu10k1_synth button 7200 0 battery 9608 0 ac 5640 0 snd_rawmidi 28192 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm 113036 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_ioctl32,snd_emu10k1 snd_timer 27400 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_seq_device 9612 7 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 72324 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_page_alloc 13192 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 5888 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 11400 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd 66440 33 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ioctl32,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_util_mem,snd_hwdep soundcore 10784 1 snd usbcore 113520 5 usbserial,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd r8169 18564 0 subfs 8960 2 dm_mod 55480 0 reiserfs 239472 1 here's dmesg (i don't even see the souncard but then again suse seems to have it's own way of configuring things - i've never seen coldplug?!); Bootdata ok (command line is root=/dev/hda7 vga=0x317 console=tty0 desktop resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent) Linux version 2.6.4-52-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 Wed Apr 7 02:15:23 UTC 2004 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001fff0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000001fff0000 - 000000001fff8000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000001fff8000 - 0000000020000000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff80000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) ACPI: have wakeup address 0x10000001000 No mptable found.

hello, i get no sound with gnome or kde (sometimes an awful noise at an error message in kde) even though the install and test sounds work. sound works fine from the command line with mpg123. i tried the solution in the SDB (muted sound etc in 9.1) and it didn't work running 9.1 pro x86_64 (already submitted a query to that mailing list) with a soundblaster audigy. runs fine in slackware 10 x86 (kernel 2.6.7) and mandrake 10 x86 (kernel 2.6.3, i think it's a 2.6 kernel at any rate) no reply from suse support yet., i bought a copy that supposedly has 3 months support? thanks

Hi David, I will print the output of dmesg again. It looks like showing up the sound problem: linux:/home/avva # dmesg 0 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 501MB vmalloc/ioremap area available. 0MB HIGHMEM available. 511MB LOWMEM available.

tv-card configuration in Suse 9.1

by Bert Meersma

Hi all, Yesterday I did a clean install of Suse 9.1. My tv-card (Pinnacle PCTV) did get recognized properly and I could watch television on my pc. The problem I had was that I didn't have any sound. I tried different sound settings from the configuration panel in kdetv, but it wouldn't work. This morning when I turned on my computer I couldn't watch tv anymore. The appropriate device (bt878) was no longer in the list under "Devices" in kdetv. I removed the card from the configuration center and added it again. When I tried to scan for channels I got an error message saying that /dev/video0 doesn't exist. How can I fix it and how do I get sound? Kind regards, Bert Meersma

I've been working hard to repair a dead server, then school started. Bad excuses, I'm sorry. Ok.. Regarding your questions about the sound... The sound works nice with XMMS, with mplayer, etc. All the entries in the sound mixer were enabled, and they have decent volume levels. None is muted. Inside the PC, there is a cable which connects the tvtunner with the soundcard. The very same hardware works with sound without problems, in Windows. Btw, the friend, who is a priest, thanks all of the SuSE team and congrats them, he likes his new replacement for Windows.He asked me to mention that. So, furthermore, I don't know what else could be wrong.. Defenately, something is.. Thanks David.
