OMG FINALLY!

I have a Audigy LS Soundcard from Creative and I finally have sound. I have never been able to have sound with linux so thats what I haven't used it to much because I need sound for music and maybe a game or too. Well I just ran swaret --update then upgrade and it upgraded ALSA. I saw that so I thought I would try to configure it again. I ran alsoconf and then that finished and I ran alsamixer, for the first time, IT worked. I played with the settings until I had sound.

I am sooooo happy. It only took like a year for me to get it to work.

That is very cool. I just gave my audigy LS away to a windows user because the damn chipset ain't emu10k1 compatible. Glad to hear it now has support. I just bought the audigy 2 because of that little pickle. Sneakzy lil Hobitsis.

Good to hear.

Yeah, I was going to just buy a new soundcard but wasn't sure which one would work. I am really glad now that I don't have to. It's very weird playing a mp3 with Linux.

Thanks Alsa

Well I restarted my comp because i had to go into windows for a sec and I got back and my sound wasn't running. So I ran alsaconf again and set all the volumes up and I have sound again but when I try to play a MP3 xmms just freezes.


aww knew it was too good ot be true!

Well i got it to work again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't :S Well some sound is better then none!

When you have run alsaconf and alsamixer to get the sound, run alsactl store to store the settings.

ohh I never knew that. Thanks

You might want to try running xmms from the console, see if that works. If it does, check what's in the menu when you click XMMS. In Mandrake 10 there's 'soundwrapper' in front, which crashes XMMS.
