How can Soundcard be detected?
I am using Redhat Linux 8.0 with the kernel version 2.4.18-14 on AMD system. My board is of PCCHIPS M810DLU v7.5c.The processor is AMD DURON 1800+. I have recently installed Linux and got problem with it. The linux doesn't detect my Soundcard which is of C-Media 9738s, it also does not detect my PCI soundcard ESS Maestro-3 (1980s). I have tried many thing but nothing. I have tried many commands like "lspci", "cat /proc/pci" and got error message like no such directory or file, no such command. I have checked that both are compatible with Redhat linux 8.0. Kindly please tell me what should I do? Please help me, please!.....

Could you post the output of the 'dmesg' command (run in a terminal)? It would help to know if the card is detected but the drivers aren't loading, or if it is not detected at all, and also dmesg might give some indication as to why.
Is this a 'clean' RH install? Did you set up your sound card(s) during the install? Have you upgraded anything since (like your kernel)? Is there any indication in the RH hardware manager that either of the cards exist? Is your BIOS set to use the onboard soundcard (as well as the PCI card), or do you have it turned off and use the PCI sound card instead? You might try the 'sndconfig' command in a terminal (as root). It may or may not work, depending on what is installed on your system. You might also install the ALSA drivers for one or both of your cards (to be found at http://www.alsa-project.org). |
I tried your command and the output of command of "dmesg" is as follow

I did not Upgraded my kernel The soundcard detection tool replied me that "no soundcard detected" The both soundcard performs excellent in windows. I also Disabled My O/B soundcard but it did not detected PCI soundcard I tried sndconfig in the Terminal the out put is as follow sndconfig: no such command Please any body help me what should i do?please............ |
This is what I find of concern:

Do you have any other PCI cards in your system? Anyway, a search of the error "PCI: System does not support PCI" in Google returns a thread that says adding "pci=bios" fixed the error for the person asking about it. Better still, this RedHat bug report clearly says that this problem is reproducible under RedHat 8, and explains how to add the pci=bios option to your configuration so that your PCI bus will be detected and so thus your sound card. Let us know if it works for you. |
I read your comments and thank you very much
I will search about this bug. But the main problem is that why my built-in soundcard wasn't detected by Linux 8.0? Another problem is that the Linux also doesn't detect my CNR Modem which is of PCTel. What should I do for this? |
Both your onboard sound card and your modem are considered PCI devices. So enabling the system to detect PCI devices by adding pci=bios to your boot options should hopefully solve the problem for all devices.

Respected Dear Motub,
I can not thanks you You solved my whole problem I edit my /etc/grub.conf and on next boot the system detected whole devices. You have done a great Job for me.

My Onboard sound card has also detected
When I got that output it was Disabled from Bios You please kindly tell me how can I switch over to one another I mean I only able to use On Board soundcard. The PCI one is detected but doesn't work |
But I am still Having Problems
Whenever i tried to connect to net The Linux said that the modem is ready But after that it said "initializing modem" and stop there Second The soundcard doesn't play any sound except "test sound" in the soundcard detection menu Now what should I do? |
My modem is on COM 3 port according to Windows. And I tried ttyS1, ttyS2 and ttyS3 on Linux for the modem port
On ttyS2 and ttyS3 it said that Modem is Busy But on ttyS1 it said that Modem is ready to use |
Probably you should reconfigure the modem so that it uses ttS1, or so that ttyS1 points to the same serial port that the modem is connected to. I don't have a modem of any stripe, but this Red Hat page seems to explain how to configure one under RH 8.
|
And as far as the sound card not playing sounds goes, you maybe should try the instructions on this RedHat 8 documentation page

Well I will Try to Enable Sound server at Star-up
But i Tried with Modem to configure it but did not get sucess Does CNR Modems supported by LINUX? and Does PCtel modems support LINUX. |
The modem is detected, but does it have drivers loaded? It's a winmodem, so you might want to read up on getting one to work:
Linmodems.org The Unofficial PCTel Linux Driver page I finaly got my PcTel hsp56 mr modem to work Lucent AMR modem listed as an Intel AC'97 - Smart Link Modems Sorry, that was my mistake, I saw it detected but didn't realize that the drivers probably weren't there. |
Can You please explain me how can I switch between Soundcards? I mean The Linux only uses my O/B soundcard and how can I switch over to ESS Maestro-3 (PCI SOUNDCARD).
|
I have enabled soundserver at start-up and it plays many system event sound but it does not play any song weather it is a music file or Music from CD-ROM.
The XMMS doesn't play any Music file and CD Player also doesn't play any sound. Can any one help me please? |
OK, if you can hear system sounds, then the sound card is working. That's a good start.
If XMMS or the CD Player applet are not crashing, but instead playing but you can't hear anything, it is possible that: 1) your sound mixer (volume control) is muted. This is the default setting (for whatever reason), and is the cause of 95% of "I don't have sound!" problems. Try opening up a terminal and typing "aumix" without the quotes. Raise all the volume levels. Then raise the volume using the applet that should be on your panel (looks like a little speaker). Then try the CD Player and XMMS again. The CD Player, at least, should produce sound at this point, but XMMS may still be silent, because 2) XMMS may have its volume muted. Open XMMS and drag the volume slider (it's the horizontal slider the most to the left under the scrolling title of the song playing) to the right to raise the volume. 3) XMMS may be using the wrong output plugin. Right-click on the XMMS window and go to Options=>Preferences. Since you now have your sound server running, change the output plugin to eSound (I'm assuming you're using GNOME, as that's the RH default desktop), and give it another shot. |
Thank You motub
I have tried your advices but there is still no sound I worked hard on both i-e XMMS and CD Player. In GNOME The system events sound comes but in KDE enviorment no sound. I have unmuted the speakers and raised the all volumes but the sound still not comes. Even from both i-e XMMS and CD Player. The XMMS doesn't seem to play any sound while CD Player seem to play the Audio Tracks. When I tried to play an mp3 file in KDE enviorment it displays the following message. The application Konqueror(konqueror) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SISSEGV) WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? |
In the KDE environment, there is a different sound server.. it's called aRTS. You would have to enable that to start up in the KDE Control Center=>Sound and Multimedia.
Your problem may well be having two sound cards. Maybe you should re-enable the onboard sound in the BIOS temporarily and see if that improves the situation. You might also remove the PCI card temporarily. You might thirdly check for a BIOS update for your motherboard, since it seems odd to me that you have the onboard sound off in the BIOs, but it 's still being detected and working. It should not, which suggests that your BIOS is not actually turning the card off the way it is supposed to. Is there possibly a jumper on the motherboard which must also be set in order to turn off the onboard sound? |
thank you for telling about KDE sound.
I am now using both soundcards in Linux. But the sound comes only from onboard souncard. I although Disabled the O/B Soundcard from Bios and it disabled it correctly becouse Windows did not detect it and KUDZU (in Linux) also removed its confeguration but at that time PCI one was detected but it did not give any sound although in the "Test Play Sound" utility in the Soundcard detection tool. I have also updated my bios from PCCHIPS. |
OK, so this is the situation, tell me if I have it right:
When you disable the onboard C-Media 9738, it is properly disabled in both Windows and Linux. If the onboard sound is disabled, the PCI ESS Maestro-3 is detected, but does not play sound. When enabled, the onboard sound card plays sytem sounds, but no sound applications play anything. You would prefer to use the PCI sound card. OK if that's right, there could be several problems, but let's take them one at a time. Is "PNP OS" on in your BIOS? If so, turn it off. This might solve the problem if it's an IRQ conflict, which it rather looks like. After turning this setting off, reboot and see if the PCI card is properly detected then. If still not, disable the onboard sound again and see if that helps. If this still doesn't help, it may be that the OSS drivers for this sound card are broken. This was the case for a long time with my VIA8233 onboard sound, so it can happen. In that case, you should consider following the instructions at www.alsa-project.org to install the drivers for the Maestro-3 card, or read this thread about how to get your onboard sound working properly. The thread (and a Google search for the specifications of your motherboard) indicates that this alsa-project page has the right instructions to install the drivers for your onboard sound. |
Thank you very much
You are a great man. I will try your steps later. But If the O/B soundcard started to play Music file I will also satisfy in that case. In short I would not like to Use My PCI Card as default. My BIOS doesn't have any option like "PNP OS" but it has an option i-e "Boot to OS 2" and I have enabled it. I will try to turn it off. Does it relate with this matter? If it doesn't concern now what should I do? |
Today I uninstalled my PCI soundcard and boot the linux. The KUDZU rmoved its configuration but the problem presist. The O/B soundcard still doesn't play any music file and now i am downloading the drivers from alasa. Then I will try the instructions.
I think now it is not any IRQ conflict. Thank u very much motub. |
motub,
I have downloaded all the things which is needed for installing the driver e.g lib file, utlis file. But in the installation instruction there was an instruction that is, to turn on the "soundcore". Can u tell me how can I turn on "soundcore" |

I should mention, though, I am not a man :) (meaning, I am a woman). Never assume things-- you never know ;) Wait a minute!!!!! This is Red Hat????? Oh my God, I'm a complete idiot, and I apologize (many times) in advance. I completely forgot about this. So much for being "great", as either a man or a woman :( . The problem may very well be that Red Hat does not include codecs for MP3s or DVDs, because the legal status of these codecs is questionable. Therefore, if you are using XMMS, it will not play MP3s because the plugin that would allow it to do so have been replaced by a dummy plugin (XMMS will not crash, but it will not play the files, either). There's probably nothing wrong with your soundcards. RedHat is by default incapable of playing certain types of media files with XMMS. You should go to GuruLabs and get the mp3 plugin for XMMS. Scroll down the page linked above and you should see it. Really sorry I forgot about that quirk of RedHat. It's caught enough people off-guard that it should have been the first thing I thought of (but I try not to think of Red Hat so much, especially since I'm in the middle of installing Gentoo, and that really takes up all one's spare brainpower ;) ). Hope this helps, and again, sorry to take you all around the world if that was the problem. |
hi motub
Thank u very very much. Again u have solved my problem. I have downloaded the plugin from GRULABS and it worked. U r such a great person. But the CD player still doesn't work. The Alsa soun driver is being intalling step by step. But the sound is scratchy, what should i do? will Alsa solve it? And will Alsa help to switch through one soundcard to another? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
I am in the middle of installing ALSA driver for my O/B card and an error has occured.
Following the instruction, I installed alsa driver, alsa lib and alsa utlis. But after that. quote: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now insert the modules into the kernel. modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I followed this instruction but it replied me as follow: quote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@localhost root]# modprobe snd-intel18*0 modprobe: Can't locate module snd-intel18*0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also tried the SiS7012 instead of intel18*0 but the same message returned. What should I do? Please............ |
motub u did not reply me?
I am now busy in my semister tests for 8 days. I will back on 14th April. I have also stopped working over Alsa sound Driver. Thankyou very much. |
hi motub?
hope you will fine. I am now free from my tests. And I have installed my drivers for Soundcard. and PCI sound card started to working. Thank you very much. But problem presist. The CD player seems to playing tracks but doesnot give any sound. |
Glad your tests are done; I hope you did well on them.
Now that you've installed ALSA, you have another set of mixers :( , which are also muted by default :mad: . So once again, go through the drill: [list=1][*] type 'alsamixer' (without the quotes) in a teminal and raise the volumes, especially for the "CD" channel. Also make sure that the channels are not muted (with this mixer, you can raise the volume on muted channels, but naturally that doesn't help). In the terminal app, there will be M-M above the channel volume; press M to unmute it, then raise the volume. If you don't have alsamixer, you need to install the "alsa-utils" package.[*] Check aRTs (the KDE sound server) and make sure it's using the ALSA output plugin instead of "autodetect" in the KDE Control Center. You might also try playing some system sounds (you can just test them if you don't want your PC beeping and booping at you all the time) to see if you can hear them.[*] Make sure that the KMix volumes are raised and not muted.[*] In XMMS, make sure that the program is using the ALSA output plugin (or the arts plugin if you are using aRTs) and that the volume is not 0.[*] Sorry, but I don't know how to check the volume or output of the KDE CD player (or in fact the GNOME one).[/list=1] If possible, it would also be good if you could open a different type of sound-producing program than a CD player or music player app, such as a game. Since I don't use KDE, I don't offhand know which of their games make sound (Patience might; it's a card game that is part of the standard KDE install, and perhaps there is sound when dealing the cards), and the other ones I can think of (Pysol, another card game; Frozen Bubble, a beautiful and fun puzzle game; Toppler, a remake of an old console game called Nebulous on the Amiga and Castelian on the NES; and possibly TuxRacer, a game which is often included in standard installs, but requires your 3D acceleration to be working) may not be installed on your system. In any case, if the above checks do not help, it would be good to know if the problem is due to 1) specifically what you're trying to do (sound plays in other apps but not when you're playing CDs); or 2) the apps you're using to do it (you get sound from CDs when using mPlayer, but not when using XMMS); or 3) is a general sound problem (you get no sound, no matter what you're doing, even when you know there should be sound). If the last, the next check would be to log into another DE or WM if available and see if the problem is limited to KDE or is global. But hopefully it's just that one or the other volumes is muted when it shouldn't be. Anyway, good luck and let us know the results of the further tests and adjustments. |
Thank u very much motub.
I have adjust the volumes in alsa mixer and they are working. but the sound coming from ESS MAESTRO3 (PCI one) is very scratchy and destroyed. But don't do any thing for this becouse i have planed to use only Built-in soundcard in linux. Secondly the alsamixer did not help to play sound from CD-PLAYER becouse the major defect was forgoten by me that I don't have CD-AUDIO CABLE (I don't know thw proper name of that cable. The cable that connect CD-DRIVE to soundcard. I am very sorry for this. for my this fault you tried for me alot. Thank you very very much. I did not find any Out-put plugin from ALSA in XMMS, and I still don't know how start the aRTS in KDE desktop. and in KDE sound server their is still not any ALSA plug-in and it is using autodetect. The kde plays system sound. Where can I find Kmix. I think thier is nothing remain. becouse built-in sound card started to play both files from HDD and fom CD DRIVE. OH one thing is remaining. How can I play VIDEOs in LINUX. In sound and video option (IN THE MAIN MENU) there is not any video player. Again thank you very very much. Can you send me your mail address. If u would not like to send it me here kindly please send it on my e-mail address i-e moiez_qta@hotmail.com. Take care. |
OK Motub if u don,t want to send me ur adress, it doesn,t matter.
Again i m very very sorry for my biggest fault. please give-up me. Please tell me how can I play Videos files? Thank u very much. u r great. |
Hi motub
Hope u will fine. A good news is there that i have upgraded my system to REDHAT LINUX 9.0. It is much better then RH 8.0. But my questions is remaining that how can I play Movies on my system. 2nd is there any methode to configure bootloader after installation completes. 3rd the KDE doesn't play any sound and in the begining it desplays a message that is "sound server fetal error CPU overloaded and aborting". So what should I do now? Kindly please tell me. Please motub..... |
Hi every body?
Please help me. How can I play movie or AVI file in the LINUX. Please any body tell me. The Sound server is not starting in the KDE desktop eviorment. Can any body help me? |
Dear Motub,
I am having a similar 'no soundcard detected' issue with my Fedora Core 1 installation on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop.

CD-ROM Audio Cable
Hi there
If you are able to hear all sonds except from your CD, make sure that the audio cable inside your system is connected between the CD-ROM audio output connector and the sound card (for pci soundcard) or to the motherboard for internal souncard..... |
Dear DMC_Australia,
thank you very much for the suggestion, but in my case i am working on a laptop computer with removable cd. And my problem is that I do not get any sound whatsoever. Fedora does not pick up my soundcard. I am working on a (rather archaic) Toshiba Tecra 8000 PII 366. As you can see from the dmsg dump I pasted in my previous post, there are some things that do not quite go well. But I am not technical enough to understand what it means, much less fix it. Thank you kindly, Patrick |
Motub,
Hope you will fine. I am waiting here for your answer. What happend to you? Since 17 april u didn't give me any answer. Are u OK motub? Without you I am in troubles. I still don't know how to play movie or AVI file. Does Linux is capable of playing these sort of things? Please reply me? Please.......... |
Motub
I have to discuss this at LINUX Software forum but I am discussing it there. I have searched on the net for the movie player and I found to the XINE and MPLAYER. Now I am downloading them and I will try to compile them. I read the steps to compile the player and they are looking difficult. Is there not any RPM Package for this? Thank u very much. |
Yes, there is. Try checking at http://freshrpms.net/packages/. Choose the RH9 link, and then use the drop-down box in the upper right corner to get a list of Applications/Multimedia.
The problem you have is that RH does not include the library which allows encrypted DVDs to be read (I think it's called libdecss). They also do not include the plugin for XMMS to play MP3s, as you already know. This is because the de-encryption codecs are of "questionable legal status" and RH doesn't want any problems. Once you install a full version of mPlayer from the RPM above, you should have no further problems. Thanks for your concern; I had several personal crises here at home, but I guess everything is OK now. Sorry to have left you hanging that way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pdmaesters, I don't know anything about laptops, but here are some links that might help you track down what's wrong: http://www.tuxmobil.org/ http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ Linux Installation notes - Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop Red Hat Linux on Toshiba Tecra 8000 Hope this helps. |
Thanks alot
You are great. I followed your link but it doesn't work the browser seems to be working but after 3 to 4 minutes it returns with error. I am now using Internet Explorer in Windows. I will try it to open in Linux Browser i-e MOZILA. May be it will open it. I am so sorry for disturbing you as you were busy in your home crises. Thanks |
I have tried it.
Well Motub I have tried your given links but it wasn't work. I tried this from Mozila.
Isn,t there any other link please. I did not get success in installing MPlayer and XINE so I am very sad. Thank u alot. |
The link works fine for me, but I edited my post, as the period to end the sentence was part of the link, when it should not have been. Maybe that was the problem.
Have you tried just going to http://freshrpms.net (the main page, rather than the /packages/ page)?. I don't use Red Hat, so I don't offhand know where one gets packages for it, but a Google search has led me to the following sites: http://freshrpms.net/ http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ http://atrpms.net/ http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html Hopefully you'll be able to reach one of them. |
Thank you very much Motub
You are great I have also tried http://fresrpms.net but it is useless Your given other four links working well I am searching for RPMs there. If I get sucess I will tell you. Is there not any Movie player other then xine or MPlayer? Answer me Please. Thank you very much |
Yes, of course, there are plenty. There's HelixPlayer, and Totem, and gst-player (the video playback module for GStreamer), and Kaffeine for KDE, and Ogle, and RealPlayer, and Xmovie, as well as several input plugins to allow XMMS to play videos. And that's just what I found by looking in the Gentoo repository package list.
However, since you have to be looking for the RPM anyway, what difference does it make if you're searching these sites for MPlayer or for Totem? Have you tried putting "RedHat 9" mPlayer rpm (exactly as written) into a Google Search bar? You might also try going to http://shrike.freshrpms.net rather than the original site I posted. |
Thank you very much
You told me about the Videos in Linux. The most important thing that u told me is that, the XMMS is also capable of playing videos. I did not know about that. I have searched at "newrpms" and other three but they were not satisfied I mean that I am not satisfy from that. Yesturday I tried http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9 and it opened. There is alot of RPMs are present and they are good. Thank u alot for ur guidence. I am downloading the plugins for XMMS as well as ALSA sound driver for RH9 (The real issue. As i still not installed ALSA in Redhat 9). If I face some problem, I will tell you. The another most important thing as that how can I enable my VGA card's 3D Acceleration? I have disscused it at Linux-Games. Where can I find the RPM package of DRI? well, I will search it on Google but your guidence is also needed. My VGA card is SiS 740. Again thank u very very much. |
The packages containing DRI should be on your RedHat CDs, and may well have been installed already. Can you post the contents of the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4? If that file does not contain any data, then try /etc/X11/XF86Config, or /etc/XF86Config(-4). I don't offhand know where RedHat keeps its XFree86 configuration.
You may be using the wrong driver (one which does not include 3D acceleration support, such as the VESA driver). If that turns out not to be the case, we'll check further possiblilities. In the meantime, you might also want to read the DRI user's guide at XFree86.org. |
Thanks alot
I will post you the contents of file later becouse now I am in Windows. (My current ISP doesn,t support Linux). You are apsolutely right that I am using VESA driver becouse Linux hasn't driver for Sis 740. But what do u mean by "If that turns out not to be the case, we'll check further possiblilities." I don't understand. Pardon me please. Thanks |
You can post the contents of the file now, while you are in Windows, if your Linux partitions are formatted as ext2 or ext3. Download the free Explore2fs file manager. All you have to do is extract the .zip file and open the app, and you can view the linux partitions. Select the file in question, right-click and choose "View file" and it will open in Notepad. You can then copy and paste the contents into a post.
Linux does in fact have a driver for the SiS 740, but you are apparently not using it. What I meant was that if you were using the sis driver, but DRI wasn't working, we'd have to figure out why. But since you're using VESA, the first thing to do would be to switch to the sis driver. The easiest way to do so would be to open the RedHat X Configuration tool (I hope you know where it is, because I don't ;) ) and change your video card from vesa to sis. Do a test to see if it works. If so, save the settings, and close all your programs, then log out or reboot to initialize the new driver. If it doesn't work, then post the XFree config file and we'll try to see what's wrong. |
The Linux only contain drivers till SIS 630 and not any further. Does it still be right to apply SIS 640 Driver on it? Thank you very much for telling about linux partitions.
