Sound issues for Dell Inspiron 4000 on Slackware 9.1
I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop which has Slackware 9.1 with Kernel version 2.4.22. When ever I play xine/gxine thru Xwindows the movie plays but no sound.
I then compiled the newest kernel 2.6.0 and it's still doesn't work. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
I have an ESS Maestro3 chip sound card on my laptop. Even when playing my regular CDs, I hear nothing. So it's not an issue on a specific application it's probably a system level but don't know where.
Nothing. It controls power for the items inside the laptop. As well as IRQ's. So basically you dont have a soundcard at all without acpi. Even though most systems will still detect one correctly.
