Sound and RedHat 9

gogoguez · 05-17-2003, 10:48 PM

I have read through a lot of different sound threads and unless i have missed it I have a different problem. My sound card(Cirrus Logic CS4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion]) is deteced and i can hear my system sounds but I can't play the test sound or get any sound from any other programs (UT, UT2003, mp3's, and mpg's). When I first Installed RH9 it played the test sound without a problem. I have gone into the mixer and changed settings. No difference. Help please.

what driver are u using in your applications,does xmms works??
try 'arts'

First of all, RH 9 doesn't support mp3's mpeg encoding. Unless you've found a way around it, you won't hear sound from mp3's regardless. As for the rest, I'm not sure.

Get the mpg plugin from http://xmms.org and you are allset to listen to mp3's

Hope that helps...

answer to the first question i think that i'm using the alsa driver, it's cs46xx and i'm not sure what arts is (ok i now know what arts is, don't know how to use it but i found it). I will goto xmms and try to install the plugin. Thanks

I think alsa installs with some things muted that you have to adjust before you can hear it.

Ok, I tried to install xmms my system says it's already installed. As root
I can get sound in UT and UT2003 but i still can't play mp3 or mpg(the system recocginzes(sp?) the type of files but the player just won't play them). As a user i can only get desktop sound . I'm confused help.

update I'm back yo no sounds except for desktop even as root(i have no idea what i did). This really sucks.
