Hi I am using RH9, GNOME or KDE and a SBLive!.
Although I have enabled system sounds and events in both KDE and GNOME,
RH9 does not play any sound at boot after login, while plays during the session (closing,
opening windows) and at shutdown.
BTW I have tried knoppix based on KDE and plays sound after login.
is there any setup to be done ?
Anyone with the same problem ?

Don't think I'm qualified to provide much help, but re: SB Live!...

I've read somewhere that there's a special version of that card--completely digital or a different chip from regular SB Live! or something--that gives Linux folks fits. Not my soundcard, so I didn't concern myself too much, but it's worth looking into if you aren't getting anywhere.

Good luck.

Hi Hot Dog,
Thanks for reply, it means that you are hearing login sounds in RH9 ?
This gaves me hope to continue investigating !!!
Anybody else ?

Apologies I exchanged dot hog with hot dog.... (it's time for dinner here....)

Ciao, prova a clickare sopra il cappello, quindi preferenze e audio. Dovresti trovare un Enable sound server startup da spuntare e da li' settare i vari suoni.
Visto che per una volta si puo' parlare in italiano ne aprofitto. Hai detto che hai sia Gnome che Kde, e' perche' parti subito in modalita' grafica?
Io parto da console e non sono capace di partire con Kde!
Fammi sapere, vorrei usare K3b, ma sotto Gnome non va.
Ciao ciao and hope this helps you.

Ciao Harp00.
Non credo che sia una buona idea usare l'italico... (regole del forum) :
comunque avevo gia fatto come dici ed è proprio li' che nasce la mia
incomprensione. Per partire con KDE io non devo fare nulla di particolare.
In /etc/ c'e' un file (inittab) che contiene :

#
# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, <miquels@drinkel.nl.mugnet.org>
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault: <======= QUI VA IL 5 cosi' parte X11 all'inizio e poi puoi scegliere se avere GNOME,KDE o altro come default per quell'utente.

Non sapevo di sta regola, so
what kind of problems do you have?
Thank you your post helped me.

Ciao.

I have been thru documentation and I have found that should be gnome-session (called by Xsession) to startup sound during gnome splash screen, but it won't.
I have managed to alter the init script files to obtain a Knoppix like boot, with the female voice that says 'Starup Sequence initiated'....after login, but still no Gnome sound during splash.
If interested I can copy my init files nad procedure.
