Hi List (especially Joshua),
Joshua I noticed your post while looking through the list archive. I have had very similar problems. I am using Mandrake as my distro -- I haven't updated my kernel to the latest yet (have to do that), but I too have got sound to work (in both kde and gnome), but it is only my rear speakers!! My tv card (sound in via the line-in port) doesn't produce sound through the speakers (also connected via the digital option). I did notice that plugging the headphones in the analog card does produce sound. Some of the alsamixer settings seem to work and others (most) don't do anything. Specifically, EMU10K1 PCM works like the master volume (the actual master volume doesn't do anything) and the wave surrond seems to work -- but nothing else. My specs: modprobe -c | grep sound path[sound]=/lib/modules/sound alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-1 off alias sound-services-1-0 off modprobe -c | grep snd alias char-major-116 snd alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id=emu10K1 cat /proc/asound/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta9 emulation code) Kernel: Linux NASA.mycomputer.com 2.4.13-7mdk #1 Sat Nov 17 14:40:46 MST 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Sound Blaster Live! at 0xd400, irq 11 Audio devices: 0: EMU10K1 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0: EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: mixer00 If you, or anyone else knows how to fix this -- I would really appreciate it.
