I have just installed SuSE 9.2 Pro and I am having trouble with sound. I have raised all the volumes in kmix and YaST to 100 and I have ran alsaconfig. I still have no sound!!
Please help.
btw ive only been using linux properly for a week so i dont know much
Well I ones installed Suse. And yes my sound card was already configured.
The only thing I did had to modify was the mute button witch was activated by default on first startup.
Could it be that your sound card is too "special" for linux?
In the configred sound crads Soundblaster Audigy 2 is there but in not confgured Audigy is there. When i click configure I get the message
Quote:
The kernel module snd-emu10k1 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ Parematers
Please post how you were able to get your sound card configured with yast. I get the exact same error when I try to configure my sound card. It's kinda wierd, I downloaded the latest version of alsa from the packman site for Suse and after I installed all the rpm's I tried to configure the sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum) and I got that error. What is even more confusing is when I go to YAST and and try to configure the sound card it gives me the error, then when I click on change it says the sound card is running! When I try to use the alsa gui mixer when I first boot up and I click on it to start it... It beeps and gives me an error but after I go thru YAST trying to configure the sound card and then try to use the alsa mixer it starts up normally!!!! Before I updated the alsa software everything worked fine. If anyone out there can pass on any fix for this problem... please post it.
I am a new user and have been dummied down by Windows. I hope you guys can help.
There is no sound to be heard. The application KsCD plays a disc but with no sound.
I am running SuSE Linux 9.3 and am having a similar problem to these listed here.
First : I have a little icon on the bar at the bottom of the screen that says "Mixer Cannot Be Found"
Second : My Sound card is not configured and is not running
Third : The AC97 is not running.
When I try to configure the card or the AC97 I get the error message that was mentioned above. I find this new system both liberating and challenging. I hope someone can walk me through this.
Originally posted by M Mouse i got the card to work and the sound test works but I hear nothing from the cd. Help.
Propably your computer manufacturer saved 1$ by not installing the audio cable from the CD drive to the sound card. E.G. my Dell 8400 don't have it.
KCD relies on that but try the Kafeine player will work
Not really appropriate for this post, but I'd like to comment on this.
DON'T YOU JUST HATE THAT.
A few other thing that common resellers/builders do which bothers me
-Only provide one case front USB when the board allows for 2 or more.
-Use a regular IDE cable so you can't use ATA, like we won't find out (I had to call Dell on this for about a dozen machines, where I work)
-A while back Dell used to "forget" to give you a DVI cable for that expensive workstation you bought.
