Integrated audio on Mandrake 10.1

x NiVeK x · 03-08-2005, 10:50 PM

OK, I have an HP Media Center PC m1070n running Mandrake 10.1 (free version)
I have no sound. I looked on Harddrake, no sound card. I dont have alsa.
I think its because Mandrake isnt recognizing Integrated audio (thats what i have)
Does anyone know anything about this? Can anyone give some advice?
That would be great, Thanx in advance.
NiVeK

ps: i also tried, sndconfig (for some reason its not recognized)

I don't see any sound modules loaded how about the output from

/sbin/lspci -v

please?
good luck.

I wasn't able to recognise any information on a sound device from your lspci output either. You could try running /sbin/alsaconf as root. Perhaps it could have better luck. Also, make sure that you make yourself a member of the 'audio' group. Without that, you may not permission to write to the /dev/dsp device. This will be only the last step however.

Googling for your particular device may provide the name of the driver that you may need to install.
Their web site doesn't seem to be working.

I don't even see the lspci -v output. Am I missing something?

good luck.

That command wouldnt work ( /sbin/lspci -v )
This one doesnt work ether ( /sbin/alsaconf )
Linux says they're not commands or files

jschiwal · 03-10-2005, 06:48 AM

I meant from the lsmod command. Are you running as root. If you su'ed to root, try typing in:
bash -l

The lspci command is in the pciutils package. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html
alsaconf is in the 'alsa-utils' package. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

I'm surprised that lspci isn't installed.

OK Thanx jschiwal, I'll go ahead and try. Once I get Mandrake back up, it doesnt load KDE anymore, it says something like "Cant write to /home/blah/"
I might just get rid of the partition and start all over. lol
Stuff like this happens to me....
