I just installed Mandrake 9.2 and I can't get my soundcard working. When I run sounddrake in the Mandrake Control Center, it lists two soundcards. In Redhat 9 and Mandrake 9.1 I was able to disable this SiS soundcard so I could use the Soundblaster but I can't find that option anywhere. Any ideas?

Results of /sbin/lspci are as follows:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 735 Host (rev 01)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP)

I'm not sure of the kernel version that I have. 2.4 sound right? But it's a 2-week-old Mandrake 9.2 download.


I don't get any errors or anything upon startup or when trying to run something with sound. I just don't have any sound. I've checked all of the obvious things, such as speakers being turned up and the system volume being turned up.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Welcome to LQ.

Try opening kmix and turn up

Volume
PCM
CD

What apps are you using to play sound?

....... also - post the contents of

dmesg | less

when i run kmix, i get this:

ERROR: kmix: Mixer cannot be found.
Please check that the soundcard is installed and that
the soundcard driver is loaded.


The only media apps that I've used since installing are Totem Movie and Media Player ... the sound events for the OS don't work either.
