Hi all,
I installed SimplyMEPIS 6.5 a couple of weeks ago, and while I'm fairly
happy with most things, I can't get any sound from my SoundBlaster Live
5.1 card. The onboard sound (AC97) does work, except for MIDI output.
I've tried disabling the onboard chip, and even reinstalling, but no joy.
KMix shows me both the onboard chip and the SoundBlaster - unless I
disable the onboard chip, then KMix says I have no sound servers at all.
I've tried adjusting every slider and control in KMix without success.
I've also tried changing the sound system from Auto to OSS to ALSA to...
whatever the others are. Nothing works, no test sound, no MIDI sound.
I know the card works, because I also have OpenSuSE 10.2 on this
machine, and it works fine there (though I can no longer record any MIDI
output, but that's another problem).
Does anyone know how I can convince SimplyMEPIS to use the SoundBlaster ?
Thanks for any help :)
David Merriman
