------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-17-09 15:41 ------- On forum when a user comes and says that his sound card xyz doesn't work, people tend to say : "use alsa drivers", and even worse : "go to alsa-project.com and install alsa" whereas alsa is bulked with standard mdk kernel. Showing wich driver is the alsa one will allow to solve the first issue. The second will be solve with the time. On top of that, more and more people will just say to use alsa driver to configure their sound card to have feature xy. By showing in draksound which one is the alsa, which one is the OSS and which one is currently used, the user can more easily make a decision, or not do mistake as graaping alsa source and installed them as he think that alsa is not on his system. see theses thread : -> http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=27764&cat=11&config=&interface=&cache=&sondage=&owntopic=&p=9&trash=&subcat= http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=27678&cat=11&config=&interface=&cache=&sondage=&owntopic=&p=23&trash=&subcat= -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEEDINFO creation_date: description: Problem: confusing GUI. For my hardware (G732 notebook, see greenhat.blogspot.com), harddrake shows the module as snd-intel8x0. When I 'Run config tool' (Sound configuration = DrakSound?) the 'Driver:' dropdown list has no pre-selected value, showing the first listed driver (= ali5455 - not, in my case, the active driver, which is i810_audio). I was confused by this, and wasted hours trying to re-configure the sound system because I thought that the active driver was the one shown in the dropdown field! I expected the current/active driver to be pre-selected, and acted accordingly (wrongly).
