There are several that are supported out of the box by the kernel, and it shouldn't be too hard to make others work. There is also a software version, but it isn't as dependable. It can not recover from a lockup inside a driver that has interrupts turned off. The hardware versions do not suffer from this limitation. These watchdog timer cards are expensive though I think. They may be able to reboot the machine more subtly than a power cycle would, but I guess this depends on the kind of lock up and the capabilities of the card. You could also use an old (= 386) computer to monitor the main machine by checking if it continually flips a bit on an unused parallel or serial port (with the main machine configured to do so) and after a timeout period power cycling the main machine. At least it would be cheap (hardware wise) ;-) On the other hand, with the normal uptime for a Linux server measured in months or years, it usually isn't needed...

Also remove all sound-related modules from the kernel with rmmod. Done. Now try to insmod the snd-ess1688. If it works it will pull in all the necessary sound core modules. Done, with modprobe. The improvement is tremendous. In XMMS and Totem I can now listen to mp3s, but they still have glitches. As in, they suddenly skip bits or jump a groove as if they were vinils. The files are all right, I can play them on Winamp from a Windblows box on my network. Still, it's infinitely better than before, mp3-wise. XMMS is specially bad, Totem seems to do better. If your system is old check the CPU load with 'top'. I would also try encoding my own mp3: the mp3's you tried may have errors which Windows had a workaround for. The weirdness doesn't end, though. Not at all! Audio CDs, which Grip played beautifully when I had the mess I had before I uninstalled the OSS modules, are now giving me a hard time. Grip no longer plays them - the timer counts the seconds as if the track was playing, but there is no sound. Since I had to change the output plugin from libOSS.so to libALSA.so in ~/.xmms/config, I thought to do the same for Grip. ALSA has OSS emulation, just modprobe snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss. But there doesn't seem to be an option to change the plugin in ~/.grip. On my system grip brings up KsCD as the player. You can use alsamixer to raise the volume of the CD channel. Be sure the channel is unmuted (no 'MM' at the top, toggle with the 'm' key). And CD playing in Totem is worse than mp3s on XMMS. It seems I have to choose between playing CDs with Grip or mp3s with Totem. :( Totem plays using the drive's IDE interface which is CPU intensive. With KsCD digital to analog conversion is done in the CDROM drive and an ananalog signal is send to the soundcard. In modern systems manufacturers often don't install the needed analog cable. If it fails with a 'board not found' or similar error, you might need to enable the board. You do it this way: Note what Raffaele wrote: If it fails with a 'board not found' or similar error :-) Install the isapnp package, then type # pnpdump isapnp.conf and edit the isapnp.conf file. Read the file to understand what to do, it is quite well explained (ask if unclear). In short, pnpdump scans the ISA bus and presents you with a number of possible configurations for the board, you need to manually select one by uncommenting the appropriate lines. After you are done, run # isapnp isapnp.conf you should see messages confirming the board was correctly configured and enabled. Now try again to insmod snd-ess1688. If this works, you'll need to configure the /etc/modprobe.preload to load the ess-1688 at boot, later on that. If some of the steps fail, send the error messages across. I don't guarantee it works for you, or that it's the easiest way, but that's how I manage to make the ESS (or the AZT, also an ISA board) work after every MDK install. raffaele OK, I'm going to remove the sound modules again, install isapnp and try with that, I'll let you know how it goes.

Some of the modules to remove may be used by another module so you would have to know which ones to remove first. I think it's easier to undo what sndconfig did. Sndconfig is an old program to set up the OSS soundsystem, I think it should in general _not_ be used. Please post your /etc/modules.conf, that's the most important file that is changed by sndconfig.

If it worked in 9.0 it should work with 10.0 and it should work with ALSA but that doesn't mean that it will :-( I think the best way is to undo what sndconfig did, How would I go about that? Simply unloading sb, sound and opl3 (and maybe uart401)? Yes, and edit /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf as Raffaele BELARDI wrote. If you then reboot the OSS modules simply shouldn't load anymore during that boot (no need to remove them manually first). I would also use a cold boot (power off the machine for at least 30 seconds) to ensure that the card is in a 'standard' state when booting. One of the reasons I say this is that the OSS sb module was loaded and you wrote about the soundsystem being 'Soundblaster compatible'. Maybe the OSS driver put the card in some 'Soundblaster compatible mode' and maybe a warm reboot nor loading the ALSA driver do remedy that. Maybe I am just paranoid ;-) reboot (not strictly needed) and start again configuring your sound if needed: first try the Mandrake tools, if that doesn't work ALSA's alsaconf utility. If that doesn't work you can try sndconfig again when ALSA isn't loaded. At the moment you have an interesting mix of OSS and ALSA modules :-) You know, MCC doesn't even show any option to configure sound, and in the hardware section there is no mention of a sound card. If I reboot with CD1 and reach the post-install config I can configure the keyboard, display etc, but no mention of sound. Weird. I'll take one more look after undoing sndconfig's evil workings, but I'm not too hopeful. Yes, I think it's because it's an ISA card. Alsaconf is able to setup ISA cards though.

I don't understand this: # lsmod Module Size Used by ... sound 78956 6 opl3,sb_lib,uart401 The above says you are using OSS now. You can't use ALSA until the OSS modules are removed. soundcore 9248 8 sb_lib,sound ... I'd have a look at the /var/log/syslog. First check if the board is recognized by the kernel. I don't see anything which would obviously be the card. Then check the lines where the system tries to start the sound system, see what errors it prints there (just search for 'sound' or 'ALSA' in syslog). No mention of ALSA in /var/log/syslog. When I search there for sound I get a load of greek-to-me: # less /var/log/syslog | grep sound Jul 21 14:27:12 laptop modprobe: FATAL: Module sound-slot-0 not found.

If so, you could try to load it manually with modprobe and see what errors you get. No, unfortunately I don't, but I suppose the above mentioned es1688 should work, right?

I disabled the onboard sound. As a result I got a sound icon in the panel which wasn't there before, so I guess there is some sort of recognition (but still no sound). I tried to configure the sound system in: System - configuration - KDE - sound - sound system On the first tab I accepted the defaults. On the second I selected autodetect and checked Full duplex. When I hit the apply button I get the error: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. I really could use any good ideas. Thanks! Marco I don't think a sounddriver is loaded. You can check with '/sbin/lsmod'.

HTH, -Frans I think you are right. From the looks of things, Linux know how to handle that PCI card, and is assigning the ports to /dev/ttyS4 and /dev/ttyS5 (or /dev/tty/S4 and /dev/tty/S5) I believe the reason it is not using /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS2 is that there are addresses associated with /dev/ttyS0 through /dev/ttyS3 and they are not always detected at boot time, depending on boot parametors. (COM1 through COM4 in DOS.) So the PCI ports are assigned to the ports after them. Depending on what you are planning to use the ports for, you will probably be creating, or having the system create links to them from more descriptive names. (modem, mouse, pilot, camera, etc...) Mikkel Okay, mandy has found the to ports, so I have connected my modem to one of the ports but Mandy can't find the modem. So what do I need to do next? Thanks, Tony. Are you using MCC to configure an internet connection with the modem? If so you can tell it to use /dev/ttyS4 or /dev/ttyS5 in Mandrake 10.

As they didn't have any mandrake drivers available we chose the latest Redhat ones. However, they don't seem to work as the config script blurts out errors about invalid module format when it tries to insmod them. What script? Oh, I see, you are asked to run a script after installing the rpm. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux.htm?dl=1regID=11401 mentions drivers for specific kernels from some distro's. Those drivers are compiled for those kernels and will not work for other kernels. You could try this: - If you require another distribution or kernel version, please fill in the Requisition form. Your information will be submitted to a pre-sales consultant who will be pleased to contact you to discuss your commercial and technical requirements. - When you click the Diva Server for Linux - Version 7.0 download link it says: Diva Server for Linux allows Eicon Diva Server adapters to be used with the Linux operating system for SuSE, Red Hat or generic Linux distribution and Source level RPM: Build Diva drivers or binary RPM package for custom kernel from source code Kernel 2.6.X Support so they suggest it is possible to compile the drivers for the Mandrake kernel you are using. I haven't found any source code but I probably didn't look good enough. If you can't find it either then maybe you should contact their technical support. They offer Linux drivers and some of their software is licenced under the GPL so they seem a Linux and FOSS software friendly company :) Another idea is to post to the Mandrake expert list. http://www.eicon.com/worldwide/products/MediaGateways/DivaServerforLinux.htm also metions isdn4linux ( http://www.isdn4linux.de/ ).

KDE's arts soundserver let's you choose a custom playback device. If you let arts use the 'second' card (the onboard sound) your music applications could then just use their ALSA plugin and play on the higher quality add-on board. Just to be sure, you want to play system sounds to cheap speakers connected to the onboard soundcard and send music to higher quality speakers using the add-on board, right?

Kmix (bottom right corner) shows I am controlling Intel 82801DB-ICH4. I presume this is correct for the AC'97 as embedded on the mobo. The MCC (under Hardware/Hardware) says the Soundcard is ICH4 845G/GL Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller, and Module is snd-intel8x0. The green buttons are muted when dim, and un-muted when bright, i.e enabled. The red buttons are capture selected when bright. alsamixer says Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4, and Chip: Realtek ALC202 rev 0. The onboard LAN is a Realtek RTL8139 - is this part of the same chip? I'm having troubles with that too... No, they are just both Realtek chips. man alsamixer says Spacebar toggles Capture mode on a valid input, adding or removing it from the capture sources. Its behaviour belies this: it selects that channel for capture, removing all other inputs from capture sources. Having found this, I noted that Kmix seems to allow multiple sources fro capture, though the red buttons will not clear immediately after being selected: another source has to be toggled in between. Strange... Just to be sure, 'capture' means 'recording' in ALSA speak ;-) With a CD in the drive, and the CD player indicating that it is there and playing a track, and with the mixer (either alsamixer or Kmix) showing CD selected and volume high (80%+), there is still no sound out. Maybe a case of a missing analog audio cable, see http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/audio_cd.html . And 'master' (and 'pcm' for digital audio sources) should also be unmuted and a have a reasonable volume level. #chkconfig --list sound sound0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off #chkconfig --list alsa alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off #runlevel N 5 OK, so alsa and sound are started in runlevel 5: graphical environment plus network.

This has an Avance AC97 audio chip on board, which works fine under the pre-loaded XP. I'm trying to migrate it to Mandrake (10.0 Community), and running into the odd obstacle or two... Firstly, the drivers themselves. Configure your computer says the hardware itself is working fine (there are no error messages). I've tried using the alternate drivers as listed here, but with no better success than the default (snd_intel 8x0). The diagnostic procedures tell me to run a series of commands, and I've done these, but the results are cryptic: chkconfig --list sound reports a series of 0: .. 6:, with off or on. chkconfig --list alsa does the same. What do these mean? See 'man chkconfig'. In this case it lists the runlevels in which a service like sound or alsa is started. Posting the output of the diagnostic procedures is always a good idea. Nextly, the mixer. I'm using KDE desktop, so up comes Kmix. The help files for this tell me nothing about what the red and green buttons (above and below the sliders) are for - can ANYONE tell me? Also, I can see a Mix Mono output, but after having fiddled the drivers the stereo one has disappeared - is this a symptom of the lack of sound out? Yes, I can right-click the slider and split the control, but the right one snaps to the left setting, so that doesn't turn it into stereo, it's really a mono one. Use alsamixer if you use the default ALSA driver snd_intel8x0. Alsamixer has a man page. Be sure to unmute (toggle with the 'm' key) and raise the volumes of the relevant channels, at least 'pcm' and 'master'. Btw, what exactly is the problem? Do applications 'appear' to play?

Re: [newbie] Sound issues, v9.2

I've got a Soyo Dragon Plus MB, onboard sound, CMI8738MC6, and it uses snd-cmipci. Under v9.1, everything worked. Under 9.2 the issues are: Mplayer - wouldn't play sound in newer AVIs or MOVs fixed - in Mplayers' prefs, change audio to use arts. Games - Rune, Quake2, Descent3, etc,etc start but no sound fixed - start each game thus; artsdsp rune (for example). This works fine for all native games, but I've got a few WIneX games that also don't have sound. Half-Life for one. Can someone tell me how to pass the artsdsp command to WineX? I looked into WineXs' config file for a place to pick arts but couldn't find it. (I'm waiting for the first reply that says, see, you WineX is evil - you should be using all native games! grin) I've still not figured out why my Logitech webcam (3000) causes arts to barf if I bootup with it plugged in. The webcam and arts get along fine if I plug it in (USB) -after- I bootup. Maybe your webcam has a build in microphone and is now recognised as the _first_ audio device. See if a sound module is loaded for it with '/sbin/lsmod'. Maybe just a matter of the ALSA drivers shipped with 9.2 having better support for usb audio :-) If so there should be a solution to always load the driver for your onboard sound as the first audio device. Overall, like I said, 9.2 seems to be a pretty solid release. Good job Mandrake! :-) HTH, -Frans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

In my desparation I was attempting to install the latest nvidia drivers but ran into problems getting the kernel sources installed. I got the proper source rpm and ran rpm -Uvh kernel...src.rpm but it seems that the code is not extracted into the /usr/src/linux structure but rather only a couple of files (tar.bz2 files, a header and two awk files) (I believe it was in /usr/src/.../SOURCES/). You don't need the src.rpm but the kernel-source rpm corresponding to the running kernel (uname -r). Now first my question is, which nvidia driver is included in 9.2? Does it even make sense to try this? Second, has anybody gotten this combination -- or each component individually?

On a different note, it would be interesting to know if the Linux kernel developers have scrubbed any possible SCO/Unix-related components out of the new kernel. If so, would that kill SCO's attempt at gross thievery? All the Linux users would have to do is to upgrade as soon as possible, and SCO wouldn't stand a chance. Although SCO hasn't specifically identified the actual pieces of code they claim to own, there have been several references to things like NUMA and JFS, and if these were scoured for any UNIX related coding, wouldn't SCO have to go away?

Re: [newbie] Suggestions for Mandrake 9.1 Disk Partitions for Music Workstation
On Tuesday 01 July 2003 03:32, The Other wrote: 06/30/03 Hello All, In a few days (I hope), I'll have a replacment for the Maxtor 30GB drive. I'll be dedicating the entire drive to Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo. I plan to use the Bamboo system for music hard drive recording, editing, and score printing. Any suggestions on how I should partition the drive, and in what file format system? You mean what type of filesystem like ext3 or reiser? I don't know :( _If_ you need low latency you must check if the filesystem type doesn't introduce extra latency. If you record many tracks the speed of writing to the hdd can become a bottleneck and I guess the speed also depends on the filesystem used. Before my hard drive crash, I was reading about a special music low-latency kernel (anyone know where that's available?), and a special file format for hard drive recording (sorry, forgot the name of that file format.) Anyone know what file format I'm referring to? I have kernel-multimedia-2.4.21.0.16mdk. It's on the cd's or maybe in contrib I think. Normally you record to harddisk in .wav format. I guess multitrack recorders use their own format. This one seems nice: Name: ecasound Version: 2.2.1-1mdk Size: 2379 KB Source: contrib Currently installed version: (none) Summary: Sound processing, multitrack recording, and mixing tools Description: Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. There is also ardour. The first official beta tarball was released a few days ago :) There is an older mandrake rpm for it. Maybe it's best to wait until a new rpm has been made for Mandrake. You know there is a Linux Audio Users mailing list? The Bamboo suggested partitions last time I installed were /, /usr, and a Linux swap file. I was using Journalized something 3 file format for / and /usr. What should I consider this time? And how many GBs should be in the partitions? I have 128MB of memory. Does the Linus Swap file really need to be bigger the 256MB? (Bamboo suggested 800MB last install.) Would a 10GB partion for hard disk recording be reasonable? And in what file format? (That would still leave me 20GB for the remainder of the system.) Besides / and /usr, are other mount points and partitiona desirable? Thanks All, The Other Good luck! -Frans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
