Hello, I am using IBM NetVista 6830-CAU to SuSe8.1. The machine comes with a build-in speaker, and it works. However, when I plug in an extra speaker, the sound did not switch to it and still comes out from the machine. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Skype and sound

That kind of solution worked for me with Skype. I used either kmix or kamix (forget which), so one of those has the microphone boost option. --- Tom Patton <thpnalb(a)micro-net.com> wrote: > Try using gamix instead of kmix.

Skype and sound
by Rene 18 Mar '05

I'm trying to get Skype (Internet-telefony) working properly. Reception is fine, but my counterpartners hardly hear me. In Kmix MIC is at maximum and the red button switched on. I hear myself loudly through the speakers, but I am Hardly heared. Settings under soundsystem are: ALSA; full duplex, sample rate 48000 HZ, standard quality, soundsystem active, realtine priority, 8 fragments 2048 bytes. Does anyone have an advice how to enhance the volume of the microphone ? Thanks, Rene

How to setup GNOME esd with OSS drivers?
by Ivan Popivanov 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, My motherboard, Gigabyte GA-K8NF, has nvidia onboard sound. Without the nvidia drivers I have a terrible noise. After I installed the nvidia drivers, the noise disappeared and I can play music in xmms. Unfortunately, the system sounds disappeared too:-(. After playing with it for a while, it seems to me that the problem is that esd needs to be setup to use (Open Sound System) OSS, because the nvidia driver is not an alsa driver. After I installed the driver, I had to (according to the manual) replace "alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0" with "alias snd-card-0 nvidia" in /etc/modprobe.d/sound. With the new setting, the scripts /etc/init.d/rc3.d/K10alsasound and /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S12alsasound fail to work and esd does not want to start even from the command line. How to make esd work with an OSS driver? Thanks in advance! Ivan

SuSE 9.2 and Creative Labs SB Audigy 2 Value
by Claus Olesen 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

I just purchased and installed a Creative Labs SB Audigy 2 Value sound card model SB0400 on my SuSE 9.2 box but have so far had no luck in getting it past the configure stage. SuSE did show the "new hardware found" popup after the first reboot after the install and lead me to the sound configuration dialog but the card is not listed in the dialog and if I try to add it clicking "Add sound card" then I get "An error occurred during the installation of SB Audigy. The kernel module snd-emu10k1 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." snd-emu10k1 is already loaded according to lsmod. I tried moving it to another PCI slot but that makes no difference. I also tried disabling the motherboard onboard sound in the BIOS setup and deleting the entry in the sound configuration dialog but that makes no difference either. I have the latest ALSA packages installed from Packman. I don't know what else to try. Can anyone help?

Quanta ZW9 Laptop + onboard sound + alsa
by Chadley Wilson 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Greetings I was wondering, but first some background, I manufacture computers and laptops. Background finished. I am running the above mentioned laptop, which we manufacture by the hundreds. In windows the drivers give you the option to configure the type of sound mode the sound card should be run in. What I would like to know is how to configure my working sound card so that the mic jack is subwoofer/center out and the Line-in jack as the rear surround, and the audio out stays the same, This is so that I can run (brag brag Sorry :) ) my logitech Z5500 sound system. As my PC with SB Live exploded in a storm the outher day ( I was not home) and now I have no usable sound system. I have had a look at the alsa doc but am not sure what category this falls under. The archive for this list are searchable so don't blast me if its been asked before. Thanks Chad
