Monday ,18.03.2003,1300GMT Well, despite best efforts my sound system is less that stable. Provided that I shut down completely and reboot ,CD Player OK. Sometimes X-CD-Roast sound player OK, most of the time not. If I automatically reboot ,without pause, NOTHING.

Nothing I do gives me a stable intergrated sound system.I feel sure there is nothing wrong with the ALSA sound driver, no, it's a configuration problem. It's a matter of getting all the various components to communicate properly with one another. ARTS is disabled. I think I have reached an impasse , I don't feel I understand all these various commands and what they are supposed to do eg. urpmi slocate slocate -u -c slocate update modprobe-card-via 8233 ntsysv pnpdump isapnp I need a bit more imput , to sort out my uderstanding , to progress in a more logical way. I'm just fumbling around hoping to come across the answer, when an application of logic and understanding is required. help John ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [newbie] Re: ARTS / Audio Codec97 / and VT8233 Audio Chip configuration Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 16:00:59 +0000 From: John Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NEWBIE 1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PS. Friday , 15.03.2002, GMT , upon first bootup to dektop, to my suprise I find that the CD player is now working, and not only that but putting up other programmes like sound mixer does not hault it either as it used to when ARTS was running things. Why this should be so today, but not last night , I haven't a clue. Perhaps someone can suggest a reason. Anyway thats the good news, the bad news is that I cannot play cashed(to hard drive) audio files in X-CD-Roast, that is in the Roast's own audio player programme. A configuration problem ? Any suggestions would be welcome. I cann't live without my Audio CD Writer in full working order.
