I finally have what I hope is full sound capabilities on my SBLive 5.1 Platinum Here is what I did: Compiled Mantel's kernel 2.4.16 using the 2.4.10 SuSE kernel's config. In the sound section, compiled with sound support as a module, the emu10k module, midi module, and oss support module and all other sound cards set to "N". Removed /etc/init.d/rc*.d/*alsa* Editted /etc/modules.conf to use the emu10k1 module instead of alsa's snd-card-emu10k1. Not sure why alsa was giving me such a hard time. I have read that the Alsa 0.9.9 series does not jive too well with KDE 2 and will be supported fully in KDE 3, but that does not explain why the 0.5 drivers shipped with SuSE did not work. I may try to play around some more, but for now, I am just glad to have sound. Josh
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....
