sound driver needed

nigel78 · 02-21-2005, 04:33 AM

hey all,

I just installed Xanthros 2.1 last nite, and having a bit of an issue trying to install the sound drivers which is the SoundMax 4 with AudioESP audio subsystem. Yes, this is an onboard sound of the Intel chipset. I'm running it LiLo with Windows XP (not SP2).

Any ideas how i can resolve this issue?

thanks

Open a terminal window.

Run su and enter your root password.

Now give the command

Code:

modprobe i810_audio

If it works without any messages, you're in luck. Try playing a music file with XMMS and see if it works.

Thanks a lot man.. will surely try that.

another query. I got a Canon Powershot A80. Do you know if there are drivers available for this camera?

USB 2.0 Support must be enabled in your kernel if your camera is a USB one.

I have a Canon Powershot S50 and it worked in Linux out of the box. I was able to access and copy all the pictures to my hard disk.

I didn't need to install any drivers for this. I think it should work out of the box. Just run an application like Digikam and see if you can access your camera.
