hey!!! i`m using red hat 9 and i`ve got some problem with my onboard sound SIS 7012 in kde sometimes the server sound can`t be load. However in gnome the sound card work gr8 i don`t even get any messages error so i was wondering if there`s a solution for this ??

so far i was reading some thread about this matter but all of them said that the SIS 7012 isn`t sound but my sounds gr8 but in gnome however i would like to use kde and in kde isn`t working waht should i do???

Que pasa chamo!

What happens when you play mp3s or videos or whatever
do you get any messages?
open a terminal and type
lsmod to check the loaded drivers

epaleeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

u know eveytime i try to start xmms a error windows pops up saying that "couldn`t open audio : please check that
1)u have the correct output plugin selected
2)No other programs is blocking the soundcard
3)ur soundcard si configured properly "
(i can`t hear any video also))
However i can hear every system sound when i minimized or a closed a program(that`s funny a)) i don`t know what happen???

by the way i ran lsmod in consola and evey module r running and here it is:

hey i was playing around in kde system control->sound & multimedia and i know this is gonna sound crazy but it happened... i unenable the arts on my kde then i go to test my mplayer with a video guest what i got sound but i dont`t have any system sound (that suck )) what do u think???

virussx,

first off, change your signature please, this site is kinda PG-13, its in the rules from when you signed up... no biggie, we just want this place kiddie friendly too.

The problem is the arts daemon, it does mountains of coolio things, but horks when the soundcard is only capable of doing one type of sound, offhand I think its 44000kHz at 16-bit, the coded supporting the i810_audio extension for these sis7012 cards isn't that hot, I've got the same one onboard in my work machine, it hacks and weezes a lot. There's really no way around it until the driver gets more mature, unless you want to try to compile alsa from the ground up, apparently that works much better for the card. Living without arts is no big deal... heck, the ceaseless beeping of KDE events gets on you after a while.

Cheers,

Finegan
