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

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.

Thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. I did the online update. I already did that when I installed Suse, but now I also updated the kernel. Then I did the mknod thing. So now I have a /dev/video0 again. But when I want to scan for channels from the configuration center, I still get the following error message: v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device or address Also in kdetv, the card doesn't show up in the menu "Devices". Any more tips?

The "Muse" Sequencer Program Loses the KDE Window Decoration
by Mike Béla 30 May '04

30 May '04

I'm using "Muse", a Qt-based sequencer on SuSE 9.1 with KDE 3.2.1. If I choose to creat a new project and/or open a new file, Muse loses its window decoration. The upgrade to KDE 3.2.2 dosn't solve this bug. -Bela-

sound has stopped working
by Sean Quinlan 17 May '04

17 May '04

OK, sometime in the last week or so sound on my system has stopped working. I suspect is has to do with one of the security patches (I seem to recall two kernel patches in the last few weeks?), but am not sure. I've tried unistalling the driver and reinstalling. I think I'm already running the latest version of ALSA (I compiled and installed myself since the sound wasn't working with the older version included with SuSE 9.0). I've been poking around with this for a bit no with no luck! :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! OK, the info: I'm running SuSE 9.0 on an Asus A7V600 motherboard with an Athalon 2800 CPU. I've been using the integrated sound controller, ADI 1980 (AC'97 compliant codec). I'm using ALSO V1.0.4 - I've reinstalled ALSA since noticing my sound stopped working. I don't get any system sounds at all, nor does realplayer8 work. In fact, real player seems to hang now when it starts. However, KSCD plays music cd's just fine! YaST reports that the driver is running fine. Unistalling the driver and restarting the sound module, YaST shows the card in it's detected list. Reinstalling the driver causes no errors, but trying the tests produces no sound. This system is only a little more than a month old. However, I was using this sound controller with this install of SuSE successfully for a few weeks. I've also rebooted into XP to game, and the sound works fine still under windows, so neither the controller nor speakers have suffered a failure. Here are some messages in /var/log/warn generated at the same time which seem to be related to snd. However I have been unable to replicate these messages with >modprobe snd-via82xx or by launching realplayer on an audio stream.
