Hi all,
Looks like LM8.1 has serious problems configuring sound cards.Out of the
three sytems i have installed none of them configured sound to my
satisfaction.
1)Dell optiplex GX110 (i810 motherboard with Ac97"codec and AD 1881A on
board PCIsound ).When i start KDE the sound comes out in breaks,but
plays mp3 files with Xmms,some file it plays with little distortion and
some files it plays fast.I tried to disable Devfs and try stiill the
same results....
2)Super motherboard BX chip set ,PIII 450,SBLive value board,it
configured sound okay.Then i was bugged that there was no bass and
treble controls,so installed the RPM from cooker for emu10k1 as per
Mandrake Forum notes and got the controls i wanted.But now the sound
does not come on when i start KDE,it starts working only after i mute
and unmute the volume or pcm on the mixer and sometimes both...why is this?
2)An Intel FX motherboard with PII 333 overdrive processor,on board
crystal CS4236(isapnp).Here i made the isapnp.conf file as per a
writeout in Mandrake forum and i ran sndconfig,the sound come out on the
first test,then it gives an error while trying to play the midi sound
and goes for manual configuration which still does not help either.What
i could make out is that sndconfig was trying to use the kernel driver
for opl3.o and gives an error on modprobe.Icould not find a kernel
driver for CS4236 in the list of kernel drivers.How can i proceed now...
Thanks in advance
