I'm still newbie with the sound system of linux....

My sound card has been detected and has given drivers...
And I have lots of software here that could use my sound card...
And I want to know how to determine which of my softwares uses the sound card.
I had my alsamixer, kmix, xine, kscd, mpg123 and lots of stuff...

My real problem is that no sound comes out...just popping...

Thanks,

Try killing all instances of arts an esd and play again.

No processes are found...
What then will I play....?

Thanks,

Try opening aumix and make shure that the sound is turned up. It's muted by default.

And the oher question: 'lsof' (acronym for list open files) shows which process is using which file/device.

Install one.
Or use some other other mixer that is available (kmix, xmix, gmix, setmixer, etc.).

I had an alsamixer...is it ok?

ZeroCoolJr · 12-10-2003, 04:03 AM

I tried then the aplay....

aplay: pcm_write:1029: write error: Input/output error

Man!
no unix manual, man as in mankind

We can put a man on the moon but cannot fix the sound inside our computers. I have the same error

aplay: pcm_write:1029: write error: Input/output error

I know this post was given when the site was called unixquestions, but I'm gonna give it a try anyway.

At worst, I'll repeat myself...
