On Board Sound
 

I can't get on board sound to work with xawtv, kscd, gnomemeeting, etc. I was able to get a mono speaker ( one of two speakers ) working with ogle. Any ideas why?

Also, I need justification for my boss to but a new sound card for this PC - Sony VAIO.

Can I have recommendations. Do people feel that a pci sound card is better, and would probably function better that this unsupported sound chip? Or, if I keep hacken at the ALSA driver, do you think that I can get it to work.

Opinions welcomed.

Thanks,

Robert Liguori.

Hi!!!

You could try running sndconfig and try to set up your sound card. The best though, is always to have a non inbuilt sound card. I've bought a really cheap pci one called Zoltrix, a 4 speakers one :). I actually choose that one because in the box it stands "Requires Win9x/ME/2k and Linux". Glad with this in the box, which btw, not many companies do it, I got the card for about 12-15 USD and works great ;)
