Hi, Having some issues with my soundcard. I have an onboard and a PCI card. The onboard card was set to default so I deleted it in YaST and the PCI soundcard is now set to number 0. However, nothing is coming out of it. Is there something else I need to do to 'activate' it? 9.1 btw -- Shaun Murphy Linux user number 359024 SuSE 9.1, a headache and some cursing..

Well that was my next move but I was hoping there might be a different solution.
I'll try that.
thanks.

Just can resist ;) ... did you plug the speakers into the PCI sound card? Are they powered speakers and are they turned on and the volume on them turned up? If yes to all of the above, have you opened alsamixergui and made sure the relevant controls are turned up and turned on? Stan
yep yep,
It's a dual boot box and it's all working fine in XP (I write a bit of
music on the old pooter so I hope I know where I'm coming from). I
presumed the SAX2 control panel talks to alsamixergui and didn't
bother looking there.
I'll try THIS before I deactivate the onboard. It's not biggy if I do,
I only use it for voice conferencing with Skype and MSN in XP anyway.

Another thought is to go back into YaST, Hardware, Sound Card and test the volumes there. It should work. Even set the levels if it works there. Then go to KDE Control Center, Sound & Multimedia, Mixer and hit the Save Current Volumes and tick the Load Volumes on Login. That´ll keep it at your desired levels. If there still is no sound, go to alsamixergui and check that DAC and ADC and External Amp and a few others are set for your sound card. If you adjust volume levels here then go back to KDE Control Center and save those volume levels again. Otherwise they aren´t saved. Stan
you deleted one card you didnt say you reran the detection. If both were
in when you installed you should have detected both.
If automatic detection didnt work you can use expert mode in yast under
the hardware section.
BTW with 9.1 when your in as root it should do automatic detection. BTW
do a bios disable of the onboard if you dont intend to use it.
