---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Sound(continues) Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 20:56:19 -0500 From: Marcia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear All, I am still struggling with my sound on LM8.2 on Athlon XP +1600 with the via82xxxaudio driver installed and it works to some extent. The Cd player works just fine and the system beeps in terminals. The introductory music is not heard when Linux boots and I cannot get sound out of xmms yet. I tried the midi & karaoke player but that did not work and got a message that the /dev/sequencer could not be opened. Could this be a permission problem? If not is there something I need to edit maybe in /etc/modules.conf , /etc/modules/ or some other file. I have read everything I can in the sound how-to and in alsa how-to's. I am a newbie when it comes to the depths of sound configuration. This is a brand new system with the ELitegroup ECS Socket a L7VMM motherboard with integrated video and sound, the sound, AC97 Audio Codec uses the via82xxxaudio driver. The module must be loaded or the CD player would not work I am sure. I would like to use alsa and I thought that is what is being used except it will not start in services. I have played with changing the services for alsa and sound and fiddled with the sound server over and over. I finally fiddled enough to get xmms to respond as if it is playing a song but still no sound. The bars were moving and xmms believed it was playing it, anyway. Yes I have aumix on, etc. Is there anything else I am not thinking of? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. How would I know if the alsa drivers are being used or if the oss/free are instead? Would the commercial OSS drivers solve this problem? Here is some info from my files: from dmesg: Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P) via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xE800, IRQ 5 info from /sbin/lsmod: via82cxxx_audio 18144 0 uart401 6336 0 [via82cxxx_audio] ac97_codec 9568 0 [via82cxxx_audio] sound 57292 0 [via82cxxx_audio uart401] soundcore 4068 4 [via82cxxx_audio sound] >From /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/drivers/sound/Config.in dep_tristate ' VIA 82C686 Audio Codec' CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX $CONFIG_PCI dep_mbool ' VIA 82C686 MIDI' CONFIG_MIDI_VIA82CXXX $CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX >From /etc/modules: alias usb-interface usb-uhci probeall scsi_hostadapter ppa ide-scsi alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
