System: 800MHz Duron
MS-6340 Micro ATX VA Mainboard (with onboard Creative CT5880 audio
- disabled in setup)
Creative Vibra128 Sound Card
50x CD + 32x CDRW
Dual-boot - Windows-ME + Mandrake 7.2
Under Windows, the sound card works exactly as expected. General sounds
play, Midi files play, music CDs play.
Under Linux, I have had all sorts of problems. After the original install,
basic sounds played properly, although midi files and music CDs didn't.
It seemed to have something to do with the install of PhotoPaint... I lost
all sound.
After quite a bit of playing around - including re-compiling my kernel - I
have been able to get it back to it's original state. General sounds play,
but midis and CDs still don't.
playmidi, for example, crashes with the following error:
open /dev/sequencer: No such device
/dev/sequencer DOES exist. I have re-installed the dev-3.0.6-2mdk rpm from
the Mandrake CD, to no avail.
The computer seems to be playing the music CDs properly, but no sound comes
out. Under Windows there is no problem, so clearly the internal wiring is
correct.
SoundDrake (and sndconfig) see and configure for the Creative CT5880 - which
is the disabled on-board audio - and select the es1371 driver.
I have included some exerpts from my messages file below. Can anyone tell
me
what is going on and how I can fix it please?
