Any ideas how to get this to work? Thanks. I don't know if this is much help to you but I recently had a similar problem with my sound card(chip) and aRts ,and the mixers given me to set up the audio lines for all the system. I found kmix, the default install with kde,limited in the number of lines it can actually handle, I was tempted to install aumix as well, and did so once to no avail, then quite by chance I discovered a much more numerous lines mixer called alsamixer . Just type alsamixer into a terminal and begin fiddling with the many lines that are available. It's s keyboard app but has many more channels of audio stream. In my case I think maybe my problem was that I had extra streams of sterio audio from the 5.1 dolby sound chip capability , or it may just of been a problem with the aRts not handling the multi audio stream properly, anyway after some time fiddling with alsamixer together with kmix I managed to restore sound.I know this is not very scientific , and may not be your problem at all, but it's worth a try.

Derek's site mentions Totem as an application that uses the IDE interface so that works without the audio cable. HTH, -Frans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I had the same problem. Make sure all of the levels are set how you want them and that everything you need is enabled. Also pay attention to the pcm level. I hope this helps. tsw __ Do you Yahoo!?
