"Joshua Trutwin" 11/30/01 04:47PM >>> Greetings,

I have having some strange sound problems that I hope someone can shed some light on. Here is what is going on: I have a SBLive 5.1 Platinum with Live Drive on my PC at home. Inputs properly connected to it (visually verified!) is a TV card, mic, SCSI DVD/CD drive, and the Live Drive. To summarize the problems discovered during testing: 1.) CD's do not produce sound unless played via alsaplayer 2.) DVD's produce sound with ogle 3.) KDE blips, beeps, startup theme, misc. sounds play fine 4.) TV card does not produce sound (now that I finally have a TV picture thanks to Jaakko Tamminen on this list) 5.) None of the mixers do a dang thing! (tried alsamixer, kmix, xmix) alsaplayer's volume control works for CD's 6.) Live Drive line-in does not work. Headphone output on Live Drive work for anything that worked with regular speakers 7.) Gameport joystick on sound card does not work. But then again, neither does the motherboard's.... I have been looking through the alsa mailing list archives and seeing some problems with SBLive, but nothing quite like this. Most of the information on the web states that the ALSA drivers are the best options for this sound card. Below this message I have pasted parts of my /etc/modules.conf related to sound. Hopefully the problem is there somewhere. If not, would it be best to upgrade the kernel with the latest ALSA drivers?
