Mandrake 9.2 + Realtek ALC650 = no sound

marto · 03-17-2004, 05:51 PM

Hi, I'm a newbye and I installed Mdk 9.2; since the beginning I never heared any sound. My sound chip is Realtek ALC650 (AC97 codec) on a Gigabyte GA-7VA (southbridge VIA VT8235). During boot up I get a message saying that ALSA is loaded correctly but I can't have any sound but from pc speaker (sigh!).

Can anyone help me ? Thanks

I don't/can't know how to answer this but lots of people are having problems with ALSa sound it seems like. how can the sound problem be anymore than a dma channel or IRQ problem?

Can you explain how alsa differs from other sound equipment?
