Hi Jim,
If Paul's suggestion doesn't work, you may have to go thru this list of
things - I did, to get the sound functioning 100% in 7.1. I had CD sound
but no WAVs - also, had those odd permission problems. Anyway, here's the
laundry list:
1. Upgrade to latest kernel
2. recompile emu10k1 driver under latest kernel
3. download latest alsa library from Mandrake update - does not get updated
automatically with the Update function
3. download and install latest detect library, HardDrake and sounddrake
from the HardDrake site - latest sounddrake has dependancies of detect,
alsa and HardDrake, so sounddrake is the last to be installed - I used the
RPMs.
4. Now run sounddrake again - you may have to find it in the /sbin
directory and run it directly - there was (is ?) a small configuration bug
in HardDrake that it does not look in the correct place for the sounddrake
file. There is a HardDrake .rc file that needs to be updated manually,
until a fix comes out for that.
I am pretty sure after all this the sound worked and the device permissions
problems went away - I tried so many things - I hope I don't have to
re-install or anything !
cheers,
philomena
