Conexant chipset CX2388X - please help
by Basil Chupin 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

I have the Leaktek Winfast DV2000 tvtuner which uses the above chipset. I am also running Suse 9.1 Pro with the 2.6.5-7.71 kernel, and I can see that the CX88 driver is loadable as a module by the kernel. The DV2000 is not listed in the Suse list of installable tvtuners but there are a number of tuners around which also use this chipset. I've tried several combinations of Vendors/Cards - Tuner - Kernel Module & Parameter but I have not been lucky enough to find the correct combinaton. Would some, please, give me the correct combination/settings to use if you know them? Thanks in advance. Cheers. -- I am not young enough to know everything.

Sound Problem SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.2.3 need help
by Ralph De Witt 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hi: I have done a clean install of SuSE 9.1. I have turned on sound for all applications. I have checked sound levels in kmix and gamix all levels are above 90%, nothing appears to be muted. I get good sound when playing cd's, and with kaffiene when viewing .wma video streams. But I have no sound when playing progame sound events, or when clicking on .ogg, or .wav files. Xmms opens and the sound level bars move, but no sound out of the speakers. Could some one help me restore full sound. Thank you for your help. -- Yours, Ralph.

Streaming Audio
by James E. Lang 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

I am a very recent convert to Linux from Win98. I am currently using the SuSE 9.0 Pro distribution though I have plans to upgrade to v9.1 in the very near future. I have searched the past year's archives for this list and found no reference to my problem. I just hope I'm addressing the proper list. I have attempted to listen to some streaming audio from the net. I receive a *.asx file but I don't seem to be able to make use of it. Any helpful advice will be appreciated. -- Jim

Switching users and audio device permissions
by Alistair Hamilton 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

Hello, All I really like the ability to switch users quickly in SUSE 9.1 by having each set up a separate X session. However, without co-operation from the first logged-in user, the second cannot access the sound devices. Say, I log in as alistair, then: alistair@irma:~> ls -l /dev/dsp0 crw------- 1 alistair audio 14, 0 2004-04-06 14:27 /dev/dsp0 Then, if another user logs in, they cannot access the audio device because they do not have permission to so do (and the mixer /dev/mixer0 is just the same). The original user can chmod the devices to grant at least g+rw, but that is not really satisfactory. What would be much better is to ensure that audio devices had group read and write permissions by default, and preferably belonged to a "neutral" user (i.e. not a real user of the system). Any ideas as to how this might be achieved? The machines are not connected to the outside world, so security is not a problem (and all the local users know root's password anyway). Thanks, Alistair -- Time is life: speed saves it. LJK Setright

RE:[Work Around] sound levels reset to 0 on reboot
by Gabriel Miller 08 Jun '04

I have found a work around. I created this script called alsa_set_mixer.sh: #!/bin/sh amixer set PCM 100 unmute amixer set PC\ Speaker 100 unmute amixer set Master 50 unmute amixer set Master\ Mono 50 unmute amixer set Phone 22 unmute amixer set Aux 100 unmute amixer set Video 100 unmute amixer set CD 100 unmute amixer set Line 100 unmute amixer set Mic 22 unmute amixer set VIA\ DXS 100 unmute and saved it into /usr/local/sbin, chmod +x alsa_set_mixer.sh Created a softlink in my home dir to alsa_set_mixer.sh: ln -s /usr/local/sbin/alsa_set_mixer.sh alsa_set_mixer.sh Edited my .profile to call alsa_set_mixer.sh I also added a softlink to alsa_set_mixer.sh in my .kde/Autostart directory (because for some reason KDE isn't running my .profile) Now sound works at boot! The reference article that I used was: http://www3.sympatico.ca/howlettfamily/epia/epia_howto.pdf My specific issue was to set the VIA DXS to any value but zero.

Hello, and sound problems
by Shaemus 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

Hello to every one. I recently purchased Suse 9.1and installed it onto new a harddrive beside WinXP. I am a complete newcomer to Linux, but I would say that my cpmputer experience is beyond moderate. Every thing works beautifully except that I do not have sound with Suse. Every thing works fine in XP. I have run YaST several times and tried to add my sound card to no avail. It sees it and tells me it has the driver, but refuses to fully install it. I greatly appreciate any help I receive in this matter. Thank you all.

sound levels reset to 0 on reboot
by Gabriel Miller 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

I have an Asus K8V Deluxe running 9.1 (32bit), Alsa 1.0.5. Suse identifies the sound card as a A7600 motherboard with an ADI AD1980 sound card. Sound works great but everytime the system is rebooted the VIA DXS levels are reset to 0. If I set the levels in YAST to 100 everything works until I reboot and the VIA DXS levels go back to 0. gamix shows the levels as 0 and once I open the sound module in YAST the levels in gamix for VIA DXS jump to 100 and sound works. Where are the default levels stored that are read on boot up. I have grep'ed but haven't found it yet. Thanks, gabriel

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] tv-card configuration in Suse 9.1
by Bert Meersma 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

My tv-card is connected to my soundcard by means of a cable. I have a dual boot system with windows, and there it works fine. I saw something on the mailinglist of kdetv about using kmix and kamix. I'm gonna try that. But the problem I'm facing at the moment is that I can't watch anything at all. The tv-card isn't listed in the devices menu anymore. I haven't got any idea how to get it back in there. I tried several things now, but nothing seems to work. I get the error message that /dev/video0 doesn't exists. But that's not true, because I can see it when I go to /dev. But thanks for the tips.
