Good evening all, need a little assistance if u plz! Just installed 10.1, Nvidia drivers and ran swaret update and upgrade. Now no sound from cmedia cmi-pci 8738 onboard sound. I have checked alsamixer, alsaconf, the modules seem to b loaded and can not get it to work. I am still using kernel 2.4.29 If any one has seen or HEARD of anyone else having prob PLZ let me know. TKS in advance everyone
I would say so. Recompiling the 2.4 kernels, always results in sound loss, and I myself never figured out how to get it to work again. Under the 2.6 kernels, this is no longer an issue, and alsa is now the preferred module, oss is now deprecated under 2.6
I am having this problem too, except i am on 9.1 and not sure what kernal(whatever came with 9.1) and everything acts like its working but i get no sound. I am also using a Cmedia card.
To find out what kernel you are running now, just type uname -r , unless you have already upgraded to 2.6 , then your output will be 2.6.10, or whatever 2.6 kernel you are running , im sure 9.1 came with 2.4.18 , i think.
I have just been informed that running alsaconf will fix the problem, with no kernel upgrade necessary. Although, upgrading/compiling your own kernel could be an advantage to your general use. Good luck! (I had the same problem after upgrading to slackware-current)
