Fw: damn sound
I was running RedHat7.3 on my computer and well to cut a long story short I never got the sound working. I installed the ALSA stuff, and according to that it was all going fine... but I eventually gave up. Anyways my prayers were answered when RH8 came out and someone told me it automatically detected the soundcard. So I got my hands on a copy, installed it and it told me to use emu10k1 (which is also right according to ALSA 'cos the card is a Soundblaster Live! Value) but same problem... Still not getting any sound. Can anyone out there give me suggestions on how to fix/remedy it short of building the kernel (cos i'm no where near brave enuff to do something that scary :P - no really!) -- Slosh P.S. before someone suggests it... yes the speakers are plugged in as it goes fine when i boot into windows :)

At a root prompt type 'modprobe emu10k1' to load the module. -- Adrian Robertson Christchurch New Zealand ICQ: 72041173 http://www.gotroot.net.nz/

Linux starts with the volume at zero, so you may have to run a mixer to turn it up. Under Red Hat 8.0 you will find it under GNOME Menu - Sound Video - Volume Control I've been burnt so many times by the volume being at zero... -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpj17/
Re: Fw: damn sound
Thanks but the only ones at 0 were 'mic' (which i don't own) and 'igain' (which i don't know what it is). All the rest were locked about 67% and i tried the modprobe thing and still not working :( From: Michael JasonSmith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: linux users [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Fw: damn sound Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 15:42:07 +1300 On Thu, 2002-12-19 at 12:29, Slosh wrote: P.S. before someone suggests it... yes the speakers are plugged in as it goes fine when i boot into windows :) Excellent.
