I don't think that applies, anyway. :-) I've got on-board sound. Gigabyte
GA-7ZXE motherboard with a VIA KT133A chipset on it. It will emulate a
soundblaster if it needs to.
Alan, you mention kmix and aumix - can you be a bit more specific? Where
do I find those to run them? They just programs that you can run from a
shell window? Something else?
I happened to have a copy of my /etc/modules.conf file from the 9.0 setup,
which I was able to compare with the one that was created for 9.1. I
noticed a slight difference in some of the lines.....
>From the 9.0 setup:
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
alias eth0 tulip
And from the new 9.1 setup:
above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss
alias eth0 tulip
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
(Question: What does "above" in a modules.conf file do?)
I've edited the new modules.conf file and commented out the "above" line as
well as the existing alias for sound-slot-0, and put in the alias for that
from the old 9.0 setup. Once I have a chance to reboot, I'll see if that
fixes the problem. If not, I'll keep playing with those settings a bit and
see what comes of it. Wish me luck. :-)
