If you are using the Sound Blaster Pro / 16, uncomment it in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file.

Is the volume turned up? use a mixer program to check.

Ian_Hawdon · 05-17-2003, 02:40 PM

yes, yes it is, but still no sound but i can only get the mic

Do sounds play when your logged in as root?

Ian_Hawdon · 05-19-2003, 03:07 PM

no, just the mic

Is this an old ISA card or a PCI soundcard? What module are you using specifically? Should have the sound module loaded I do believe.

# lsmod

Have you changed the permissions for all users to have functionality of the sound?

# chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*

Have you checked your volumes? Might just have the mic turned up but none of the others, or they could be muted.

Let us know!

pci

and i dont know what

"# lsmod

Have you changed the permissions for all users to have functionality of the sound?

# chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*"

means because i am only 13 years old and i have only been using linux for 5 months (3 to get it installed!)

try turning the volume on the mic all the way down and setting it to be your recording device.
