where is sndconfig
Hello all.
Recently upgraded to mandrake 9.1 from being away from linux for about 3 months. As usual I didnt get sound with GNOME. So in the past I log into root and use the command 'sndconfig'. The cmd did not work. I tried to locate the command but could not find it. I was thinking there might be a new way to install ur sound card with mandy 9. Anyone want to throw some ideas? |
looks like you did not install it in the first place option one it can bi in /sbin drictory option two you did not install it in the first place try installing it option 3 it is redhat program so doesnt come with mandy.

Thanks mate,
Yep your probably right - Im probably did not install the package. Cause I think I saw it on the package list. Thankyou - I will try. |
Did you actually fix your problem, if its so, tell me how, cause i have the almost the same problem
|
No it didnt fix the problem. They must use a different package or something now. I might try d/l snconfig. I also heard that turning plug and plus OS in your BIOS on will fix the problem.
Havent ever tried that yet. |
sndconfig is a native RH app. In Mandrake you have other tools, sndconfig can be used, however the tools available to you from Mandrake should suffice.
FYI, Mandrake uses ALSA by default. Sometimes ALSA comes muted by default. You may simply need to unmute your device. Also, if you have questions specific to your soundcard, you should post up what soundcard you have. If you aren't sure, you should post up: lspci -vv Which will show you what soundcard you have. Cool |

http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/Mandrak...harddrake.html 'ISA PnP devices are not probed for by HardDrake. In order to configure them, run sndconfig on the command line. You will need to install the sndconfig package if needed.' But, turning PnP OS off in the BIOS means sound is detected and configured automatically on next boot. RO |
