USB Speakers wont work!!!
 

Hello all,

I just installed Slackware 12 on my computer last night.
Im on a dual boot with Windows XP SP2 as well.

After installing linux, my speakers (on usb) wont work anymore.
Im basically a newbie with linux so pls help me out...

How do I setup usb devices in linux?
Good thing my mouse was on PS/2 so it worked right away.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Doods

Hi

WELCOME to Slackware.

As root and look for snd-usb-audio.

If it is not present then if this works then add the above command to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local

You may have to set up the device to be your default audio device, this can be done with alsamixer. followed by unmuting the device and adjusting the volume. Then Hopefully that will work.

samac

it worked!!!
 

ei nice one Samac it worked!!
although i had problems with this
so i changed it to coz my speaker was plugged in to the 2nd port i guess...
i have like 6 usb ports on my computer.
and then i got on with unmuting it :P

Add this to the mouse section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it is not there already:
