Soundcard

kapalka · 03-25-2005, 04:21 PM

Ijust installed a sound card (ensoniq ct1370) and now have partial sound. I can hear the notes when the program loads and suts-down.
It will not play music from a cd. When I right click the cd icon, and click mount, I get a varity of error messages that all indicated a bad mount. HOw do I resolve this issue?

I have tried playing music Cds on three of the devices in MEPIS. They all show the Cd runing but nothing. I have tried setting all the volumes, including the one on the desktop and they are all unmuted.

this error message comes on trying to mount cdrom:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom or too many mounted file systems

What's that about?
Thanks,
Ron

Do you have sound from anywhere else, mp3s or system sounds? And what is your desktop?

Hi,
I had advice to run "alsaconf" and that was done a few minutes ago. I now have system sounds, but the cd rom player still does not work. I wonder if I have not configured it correctly?
Thanks,
Ron

Bring up the alsa mixer and see what it says

K-Mix has green lights, sound level about midway.
On a right click of CDROM logo, hit mount and had this response:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom or too many mounted file systems.
What the heck does that mean?

Check out alsa's website for your sound card support. Well you said modem. Isn't modem for connecting to internet! Please explain in detail

I must have been really tired yesterday, I do not know just how I mixed in the modem with the sound card.
THe question is about the sound card. It is a supported card and is now working to a degree. I can hear the sounds at log in and log out.
THe problem is now in playing CDs on the CDROM.
I think that the CDROM is not mounted correctly.
I get error messages to that effect, but do not know what to do about them.
I think I will repost this with this info and let this misleading thread die.
Thanks for your time and calling the confusing modem bit to my attention.
