this seems to be a problem for a lot of people but i dont know how to fix it. i dont have any sound when i installed mandrake. i am on it currently. my sound card is a Cirrus CS4610/1 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio. i read that you have to turn up the volume but i have no idea how to do this. when i go to Kmix i get this http://img16.photobucket.com/albums/...atnot/kmix.jpg

if you have a graphical desktop, do this:
open up an editor such as kedit and open the file /etc/modules.conf. Now save a backup copy as /etc/modules.conf.bak, then copy and paste the above in the original file and save it. reboot and see if your sound is working now.

i get "unable to write to file" and "unable to make a backup of the original copy" whats that supposed to mean i cant even edit this thing to get it working so i can restart it i keep getting this stupid error messages

also wheres this "aumix" everyone is talking about and how come my Kmix doesnt have any sliders or volume controllers.

seanz6688 · 02-22-2004, 07:22 PM
