sound not working

eddy98 · 04-24-2005, 01:39 AM

hi.i dunno whats the problem with my sound card right now perhaps i was configure it in wrong way.When i run command alsaconf the system detect my sound card and i done through all the instruction.So i guess the configuration successful ready.when im trying to play some music file,i cant hear any sound perform from that file.

Code:

# aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav

Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/phone.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian,
Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

a) set the volume with alsamixer
b) set the volume on the speakers
c) make sure the speakers are plugged in

then make sure you don't have a modem module
or something conflicting with the sound...

what is the soundcard?
what module does it use?
what is the output of 'lsmod'?

i don't see any conflicts...
what kernel do you run?
stock or rolled?
if so, what did you compile in re sound?
did you use an alsa package?
if so, which one?

jschiwal · 04-24-2005, 05:45 AM

I don't have slackware, so I hope I'm not way off base with my suggestion. Are you a member of the 'audio' group?
