Sound
Hello
Second day now with Linux still everything going strong except one thing Sound? I didn't notice before (propably too excited that the installation went so smooth), but I dont know do I have sound ? How can I check that out? Might sound stupid but I dont know wich programms do have sound, so that I can check that out?? Anyone can help? |
If you have any mp3's you can try those with xmms or play a cd with the cdplayer. If you find no sound coming out, go to console mode and run sndconfig to set up your card.

Sound
Ok I managed now to get into console (works only in root console) but I cant manage to get a sample sound????
what now |
Two weeks ago I was where you are now: two days past, Linux works, no sound.
I could solve the sound problem by using the documentation found in Linux: //localhost/howto/en/html/sound-howto.html You will need to know exactly what sound card (chip) you have, in order that you can do the corresponding setting in the system files mentioned in the above HOWTO. If you do everything according to the HOWTO and something still does not work, then disable the Plug-and-Play Op. System option in your bios (I could have saved myself two days if I did that when I read it the first time in the HOWTO). Linux have its own module that can do that task. |

I went to shell and typed the howto sequence it said no such file???
I looked also in my bios I cant find a disable PnP only automatic or manual it is on manual at the moment.. Please I am desperate.... |
It is a common Linux HOWTO, so it should came with your Linux distro.
You can also find it on the Internet: www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html The presentation of the Plug & Play option may vary between the different BIOS versions. For me it read 'Plug&Play OS present' when it was set to YES, I could not play wav, mp3, etc. files. Only midi and mixer worked. |
You can try to remove the card restart the pc (with redhat i mean)
Then kudzu did not find your card you'll be prompt to keep or remove configuration select remove configuration then shutdown the pc insert the card Kudzu will find the card and ask if you want to install it select yes (DUH) and if all goes well it should work Also try (as root) sndconfig succes |
If it's an ISA card with PNP, it might not have been recognised by Linux anyway. Also, some older motherboards had ISA sound-cards built-in. I had the same problem (on my old computer), but didn't manage to fix it until I recompiled my kernel.
I was not happy with some of the advice given to me (i.e. buy a PCI sound-card, they almost always work straight away), but in retrospect (I now have a PCI sound card in my new computer) it is actually quite good advice. |
sound
It does recognize it it says ISA PNP chip unknown??

As has already been mentioned, buying a PCI card (such as the SoundBlaster Live Player) should sort out your problem and give you higher quality sound in to the bargin. |
