Sound Problem after switching to redhat 8

billbeq · 12-09-2002, 07:06 PM

Hi,
I have found getting the printer, modem and soundcard installed to be a challenge and a unique experience for each. But now my computer runs and so far is a lot more stable than MircoSoft 98, XP, etc.... I like Linux performance a lot! Now I am working on getting my CD-RW working i.e. to burn CDs. It reads but no burn!

Thanks for all the advice and keep on Linuxing!!!!!!
Bill

If you are in redhat, try the extras, and system and seomthign menu, there coms a cd burner utility, doesnt it detects your cdr?

S.O.S.!!!!

i still am unable to hear a thing.
RH detects a "Rockwell International" PCI sound card... but no support.
(it's onboard) Running a 800 Mhz AMD athlon HP if that helps any.
Can anyone help my sound woes?

I was able to get my SB Audigy Gamer working under RH 8 2.4.18-24.8 by simply setting the option in my BIOS to PNP OS=NO.

I am running Rh9. The sound card is detected fine by both sndconfig and gnome - I can hear the test sounds from both of them.

But, I can't hear anything from the CD player. I did get the

"Unable to open audio device '/dev/mixer'."

message which went away after sndcconfig ran.

the voulme settings are also OK.

So, how do I get sounf to run on RH linux ?
