Disabling a Soundcard....
 
I have onboard sound and a Soundblaster PCI Card... When I run XMMS and play a song it kills itself. I perdict that this is the problem (that I have 2 installed sound cards) Is there anyway to disable one of the cards?

By the way I am using Mandrake 10.1...
Thanks... Diilbert

Unless you have a really nice motherboard with a special integrated sound card,
I would suspect your SB live card would be the better card.

So have you simply disabled the onboard sound in your motheboard bios?

But linux and xmms should not have a problem even if you have 2 soundcards
installed and configured.

Any quick suggestions to why XMMS would kill itself when I try playing an MP3 ?

Change the order it starts the sound cards. Probalby defined in your /etc/modprobe.conf file. Post the contents as long as distro kernel and modules each are using.

Here are the contents of the modprobe.conf:

Code:
alias eth0 tulip
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias eth2 eth1394
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /bin/true
alias sound-slot-1 es1371
remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
alias eth1 8139too
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
I am using Mandrake Linux 10.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.8.1-12mdksmp

Thanks for any help :)

You can swap the id numbers of the above make the es1371 = sound-slot-0 and vice a versa. If you don't need both add a ' # ' the front of the line and make sure the one you want is sound-slot-0.

See what that does.

Google the Linux way at ' http://www.google.com/linux '

I tried that.... my modprobe.conf now looks like the following:

Code:
# This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using generate-modprobe.conf command

alias eth0 tulip
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias eth2 eth1394
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /bin/true
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
#remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
#install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
alias eth1 8139too
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
I am still having problems with XMMS... I open an MP3, hit play and the software kills itself... Any ideas ? It may not be the dual sound cards, that was just a guess.

Thanks again.
