tv-card configuration in Suse 9.1
by Bert Meersma 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

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

no sound on reboot
by Scott Carpenter 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I am running SuSE 9.1 Professional on an Alienware Area-51M notebook computer... Whenever I reboot the sound does not work.. I can get it back by running the Alsa Volume Control and unchecking the boxes for ICE958, ICE958 Capture Monitor ICE958 Capture Valid and ICE958 Plaback Source. Is there a way to make this change permanent? It is becoming a mild annoyance to have to remember to do this everytime I reboot. Thank you, Scott

Sound Blaster Live! - No sound....
by Nicolas Dubuit 29 Sep '04

Hi everybody, I can't figure out how to get sound from my SB Live! 5.1 (SuSE 9.1). Till now I checked these points: - It's not a DELL one; lspci outputs 0000:00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) - I updated to alsa-1.0.6 packages from packman: now these are installed (rpm -qa | grep alsa) alsa-1.0.6-0.pm.0 alsa-tools-1.0.6-0.pm.0 alsa-tools-gui-1.0.6-0.pm.0 alsamodular-1.7.6-27 alsaplayer-0.99.76-63 pwlib-plugins-alsa-1.6.5-8 alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-517 alsa-devel-1.0.6-0.pm.0 alsa-docs-1.0.6-0.pm.0 - I tried to install it with YaST2; I can't hear the test sound, whatever the levels are. - I also played with the levels in alsamixergui, kmix and kamix - The audio cable is on the green jack; and other jacks don't seem to deliver anything, however. - I tried tu change permissions for /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, /dev/sequencer (chmod a+rw ...). No effect; moreover permissions are reset automatically to rw------- after reboot. - BIOS onboard sound is disabled. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot... Nicolas

Playing AVI files
by Edward F. Howson 26 Sep '04

26 Sep '04

I have some holiday avi files which were recorded on a friend's camcorder. He used an MS app to transfer them to the PC. I find that on my linux system I'm not able to view them. Running the file command on one of them I get: "uvs040331-002-33.AVI: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 576, 25.00 fps" Does anyone know of a program that I can use to view (convert) them? I normally use xine but it complains about not having the codec. I don't remember now but I think that I get the same result from mplayer. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Eddie

subfs and dvd/cdrom.
by Mike.P.Smith＠kp.org 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Hi, my dvd and cdrom devices give me an error when I try to mount them, "fs type subfs not supported by kernel." I built my own kernel with the downloaded suse kernel sources 2.6.5-7.108. I used the /proc/config.gz from the original installation to template my .config for the new kernel so I shouldn't have changed any functionality. However, I can't seem to find an option in the .config file that corresponds to this function anyway. Can anyone help me out? Please. Thanks, Michael

mp3 Player
by Matthew Dunaway 15 Sep '04

Hi, I have a Creative MuVo 64MB player. It worked fine with SuSE 9.0 but when I upgraded to 9.1 Pro, no luck. :-( Any ideas on how to get this to work with SuSE 9.1?? I really don't want to downgrade to 9.0 just to use the MuVo player.

The MuVo now shows up when I click on the hardware icon by the clock. It says it is available but not configured. I clicked on the configure button and the partioning utility shows up, but sda1 is not in the list of partitions. Now what do I do?

Ardour and Jack in Suse 9.1
by Ben Sheron 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hey everyone I'm running SuSE 9.1 and am trying to get Ardour and Jack to work properly. I used Yast to install Ardour, while Jack just came installed already. I started Jack using the following commmand: $ sudo jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 and Adrour with this command: $ sudo ardour I tried jackstart, but it apparently could not find that command. In Ardour I can record, but the sound is distorted. Also, when monitoring the output of my M Audio Delta 44 sound card, the output is delayed compared to the input. How should I go about getting better sound? Do I have to recompile the kernel? Do I need to add a patch? Thanks for any help with this. Sorry, when it comes to Linux audio I'm a bit of a noob... Ben

cdrw not found by k3b
by Conrad Schuler 03 Sep '04

03 Sep '04

OK, j said that his k3b worked fine after install and update. So I moved my computer to a fast connection, reinstalled 9.1 Professional from CD (with HD format - to make sure it was clean) and did the online update. No luck. Tried the packman k3b V 0.11.14-0 that j suggested. No luck. k3b just sits there looking and looking, the HD (it's a SCSI) shines its light brightly. Both th CD and the CDRW are available to KDE as drives. Any suggestions? Conrad SuSE's posted info in the db apply to 8.1, I am assuming they have no relevance to this problem that I am having with 9.1 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
