installing alsa 1.0.6a ... weird error

steefje · 10-31-2004, 04:54 AM

hi i have a creative audigy ls, a card that has only been recently supported by alsa ( 1.0.6a)
when trying to install alsa drivers i run the ./configure which seems to be ok
when typing "make' afterwards it said "command not found"

Umm, you need to install make.

Cool

Via YAST install a C compiler - gcc, for instance.

hahaha masterc you were right , didn't have make installed

i got the drivers installed now
yet i have a problem
i have 2 sound cards , one onboard and my audigy ls
i disabled the onboard card in bios
and when linux had started up i did "modprobe snd-audigyls"
the module gets loaded, no errors ... i plugged my rear speakers and center speaker (5.1) into my audigyls and my front speakers into the onboard card
so after the "modprobe snd-audigyls" i hear crackling sounds come out of my rear and center speakers ... so i guess that's a sign my audigyls is recognised

(before install of alsa, the sounds came from the onboard card)
yet, when trying to play a sound, i hear nothing

because i don't know the command line to open a mixer from terminal, i changed from fluxbox to kde and went to volume control
now, when i used to use the onboard card, i could simply change volume by sliding some buttons
yet , now the window and its tabs were there, but they were empty .........
(mixer is KAmix)

does anyone know another mixer (that comes with asla eg.) which i can open from terminal ?

is anyone familiar with this problem ???
i guess my card isn't configured correctly yet

alsamixergui or alsamixer but I believe they come with the tools or utils, so you'll need them too

Cool
