So far Google reveals only that SoundBlaster cards sometimes misbehave. I couldn't find anything specific about not getting any sound out of Gnome with a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 card.
I have the correct modules loaded (2.6.3 kernel, snd-emu10k1, snd/sound/coundcore, ac97-codec), fixed permissions on /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp, and added myself to the audio group. Looking in /proc/driver/emu10k1/0000:00:0f.0 : $ cat info: Driver Version : 0.20a Card type : Emu10k1 Revision : 10 Model : 0x8064 IO : 0xa800-0xa81f IRQ : 18 Registered /dev Entries: /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp1 /dev/mixer0 /dev/midi0 /dev/sequencer $ cat ac97: Vendor name : Unknown Vendor id : 454D 4328 AC97 Version : 2.0 or later Capabilities : DAC resolutions : -16-bit- -18-bit- ADC resolutions : -16-bit- -18-bit- 3D enhancement : No 3D Stereo Enhancement POP path : pre 3D Sim. stereo : off 3D enhancement : off Loudness : off Mono output : MIX MIC select : MIC1 ADC/DAC loopback : off Ext Capabilities : -PCM surround DAC- -slot/DAC mappings- Front DAC rate : 0 --- Looks like /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer aren't handled by the device driver under "Registered /dev Entries" so nothing's happening when applications use /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. But if I cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp I do get a hissing sound, leading me to believe that I am completely confused and out of my depth... I'm not sure how to instruct Gnome to use /dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp1, or /dev/mixer0 or /dev/mixer1, or whatever it is that I must do. Any help appreciated, Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
