headphones and fedora core 3
hi
is there a generic way to make ur os use a hardware device if your hardware is not operating properly under the os ? like in my case , i installed fedora core 3 again after some 2 months. my sound card is getting detected but i cant hear any sounds the difference is that im on headphones , when i had my speakers connected it used to play fine . can anyone help me ? thx in advance :D |
I may sound stupid, but some of the things you should check for
1) Volume level of the headphone (generally have a volume control on a headphone) 2) Check if there are additional sound levels for the system by opening the volume control 3) Check whether the headphone works with other stuff (like if u have an mp3 player , discman etc...) 4) Check whether the plug is properly inserted into the port(the hole, usually green) of the computer 5) I dont know, how the O. S wud identify...but I feel motherboards (if u have an intel one) of intel do detect activity at those three ports! |
yes my friend , i checked everything ,
1. i put the volume at max , still no sound , i played a song in xmms with the correct out put plugin , the song was being played but with no real sound output 2. i checked out sndconfig in fedora core at max volume , still there is no sound 3. , the headphones work absolutely fine on my windows xp 4. since i never touched the pins , they are obviously in the correct place 5. its not about motherboards amigos but my os - fedora core 3 - being able to detect the soundcard which it does , but still no sound output i see the module - snd_cs4281 - when i do /sbin/lsmod in the list the question is why there is no sound even though fc3 detects the sound card ?? do headphones make a difference ?? what do i do ? |
please check out the sound mixer settings. i feel the sound there for the ehad phones is muted.
The sound mixer is a kicker(panel) applet. |
yea ur rite sallu , i toyed with Kmix on my system and after a while i got the sound output
thx . |
