I try to play an MP3 using noatun, but no sound comes up. I use ALSA and the bar goes up and down showing music is playing... but I hear nothing.

Thanks for any help,

what kind of sound card?

vi0lat0r · 03-17-2004, 06:51 PM

It's an onboard ‎SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator

Dunno why it says PCI because its not in a PCI slot, lol.

Got ALSA up, sound is 100% working!

try this:

in your console type alsamixer, turn on master/volume.

another one.

use the kmix tool by running it under x window, turn on master/volume, then disalbe the ff from the advance option:

exchange DAC
IEC958 in monitor

if your sound card was configure corectly it will work

otherwise ...

I just can't leave it at this. lol PCI isn't just the slots on your motherboard, it's the entire bus that all the components, whether connected with in a slot or on the bus, are connected to the processor through. Here's what I get with lspci (run as root to see the stuff on the PCI bus).

Code:

lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?) (rev c1 )
00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 1 (rev c1)
00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 4 (rev c1)
00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 3 (rev c1)
00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 2 (rev c1)
00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Memory Controller 5 (rev c1)
00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 ISA Bridge (rev a4)
00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation nForce2 SMBus (MCP) (rev a2)

00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4)
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller (rev  a1)
00:08.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 External PCI Bridge (rev a3)
00:09.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation nForce2 IDE (rev a2)
00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): nVidia Corporation nForce2 FireWire (IEEE 1394) Co ntroller (rev a3)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (rev c1)
01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)
01:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 07)
01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC ( rev 01)

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3 Ti 200] (re v a3)

As you can see, even the AGP runs on the PCI bus. I used to wonder the same thing that you do about the PCI stuff. lol
