SuSE with a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer and surround sound
by Michael Singletary 28 Feb '04

28 Feb '04

Hi, I recently installed the current version of SuSE. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer for my sound card, and have it hooked up to the surround sound system in my room. It seems that I can only ever get one channel (front or back) depending on how I have the plugs in the sound card. The current configuration worked fine for surround in Windows, but seems to only give one channel with SuSE. I don't really need TRUE surround sound, I'd just like to be able to get sound out of all of the speakers at once. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or know of a way to make it work out? Thank you very much, Michael

I have the Audigy Sound Card as well. I can get sound on all speakers, but not on the combo DVD/CD re-writer I haven't tried any configuration other than Yast The CDROM is connected to the sound card, but it makes no difference -- kgv6000

SuSE 8.2 / kernel 2.4.20-102 / alsa-1.0.2c & VX222v2 problem
by Christophe Greisberger 12 Feb '04

Hi, I have a new problem with the vx222 driver on SuSE. It seems to be be partly kernel dependent, since it occured after a kernel update followed by a reinstallation of alsa. System: SuSE 8.2 / latest patches installed with YaST - k_athlon-2.4.20-102 - kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-102 I configured and compiled the kernel sources # cd /usr/src/linux ; make menuconfig ; make I downloaded and installed alsa-1.0.2c from source: +alsa-driver: # ./configure --with-cards=vx222 --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes \ --with-moddir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/alsa && \ # make clean && make && checkinstall +alsa-lib: # ./configure && make clean && make && checkinstall +alsa-utils: # ./configure && make clean && make && checkinstall + alsa-tools: # ( cd vxloader ; ./configure && make clean && make ) && \ ( checkinstall "cd vxloader ; make install" ) + alsa-firmware: # ./configure && make clean && make && \ checkinstall "cd vxloader ; make install" When I start alsa (after a reboot, of course!), I have the following messages on the console: -----8<----- # /etc/init.d/alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-vx222 Warning: ignoring cards_limit=1, no such parameter in this module Module snd loaded, with warnings Module snd-hwdep loaded, with warnings Module snd-timer loaded, with warnings Module snd-pcm loaded, with warnings Module snd-vx-lib loaded, with warnings Module snd-vx222 loaded, with warnings vxloader: error in loading /usr/local/share/alsa/firmware/vxloader/l_1_v22.d56 /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/alsa/snd-vx222.o: post-install snd-vx222 failed /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/alsa/snd-vx222.o: insmod snd-vx222 failed done -----8<----- And those ones in /var/log/message : -----8<----- Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1 Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1 Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-2 Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-2 Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-3 Feb 10 09:57:20 musipop modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-3 Feb 10 09:57:21 musipop kernel: ALSA memory.c:76: Not freed snd_alloc_kmalloc = 388 Feb 10 09:57:21 musipop kernel: ALSA memory.c:86: kmalloc(388) from c56c0e5f not freed Feb 10 09:57:21 musipop kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 01:08.0 to 64 Feb 10 09:57:23 musipop kernel: ALSA control.c:209: BUG?

I tried to install alsa-1.0.0rc2 on the latest patched kernel, but had the same error messages as with alsa-1.0.2, so it seems more likely to have something to do with the kernel update. I updated the kernel because of a SuSE security annoucement ( http:// lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security-announce/2004-Jan/0001.html ) They did something about a do_mremap() function in the kernel. Perhaps is that the problem? Any clue? -- Christophe Greisberger Zenon-Media GmbH Phone: +49 (7852) 9133 / 34 Fax : +49 (7852) 9133 / 35

Hi all, I tried to install myscanjet 5300C from HP under Yast. Unfortunately this USB-scanner is not in the list. Is there an other possibility to get this thing working? Greetings, Rene.

Sorry I sent this message first in the wrong list. Le mardi 10 février 2004, 19:47:05 ou environ Rene Luijckx <r.luijckx(a)hccnet.nl> a écrit: > Hi all, > > I tried to install myscanjet 5300C from HP under Yast. > Unfortunately this USB-scanner is not in the list. > Is there an other possibility to get this thing working? > > Greetings, > > Rene. As I wrote in my other mail, Scanjet 5300C is normally supported by Sane even if it is maybe not straightforward. If Yast does not mention the scanner it is probably because your version of SuSE does not have the latest version of Sane. It happened already to me. Thus download the latest source file of Sane-backend and compile it. The sane source files compile without problem in SuSE. The only problem I had was with xsane, the graphical interface to use with Gimp. I wanted to install the SuSE package but Yast insisted to install its own outdated version of Sane. That was before I knew that checkinstall existed. Good Luck, -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Sound Problems: Santa Cruz/Turtle Beach on SuSE 9.0 Prof
by Sabine 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hi everyone, I'm not sure what happened, but today my soundcard stopped working. It's the Santa Cruz from Turtle Beach Driver: CS4614/22/24 CrystalClear SoundFusion Accelerator The card works fine under Win2K (Dualbootsystem), so I don't think the card itself is the problem. What changed is that I updated to KDE 3.2 Final yesterday (including all the other files that go with it like arts, qt3, etc), before I had the RC1 version running. I downloaded it via YAST from SuSE. Yesterday the sound worked fine, but now I can't remember if I listened to music after the reboot. Has anyone else problems with this particular driver? I can install the onboard sound chip without a problem (VT82C686 AC97), and it does work, but the sound is so bad, that I rather have no sound at all. Any tips are welcome. Thanks -- Sabine
