Greetings to the list,
I am having a problem with establishing sound in 6.3. Listed below is my configuration:
RAM: 96MB CPU: K6-2/350 Soundcard: SB Vibra16 (ISA) Video: ATI Rage Pro w/8MB (AGP) HD: 4GB partition on Maxtor IDE drive Swap partition: 133MB
I tried the procedures outlined on page 258 of the manual that ships with the boxed set for activating P'n'P cards with pnpdump. It correctly identified the card and put the appropriate lines in isapnp.conf but still no sound. In retrospect, I may not have activated it: isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
I also installed OSS (page 261) without any problems but no usable sound even after typing soundon. It will play a sound when I go into the KDE system sound settings, click on a system event .wav file and then the TEST button. I still do not get sound when I click on the Enable System Sounds checkbox, APPLY, etc.
I never had these kinds of problems with either Caldera or Redhat. What am I missing?
IIRC there's a line in one of the KDE init files about starting the sound server. Unfortunately I can't remember where the file is :(
Also, since Linux is only recognizing 64MB, which file do I enter the line " mem=96MB " so that the system will use all of the RAM at boot time?
This goes in /etc/lilo.conf. Find the entry for the kernel that you are using and in that section add the line: append="mem=96M" For more detailed information see 'man lilo.conf'.
