Sephious

Nope, still does the same thing it used to. The sound just keeps looping over and over.

Yes, I'll remove it and see what happens, but I doubt the AC'97 will work. I'll try when I get home from school today.

How did you make it work? I can't find out how, so I can't get it installed :(.

No, XMMS no longer works at all. Not even the CD player works anymore with my AC'97. Everything works just fine with my garbage Creative Ensonique though. It just magically started working, because not even it worked before.

Well, my other sound card decided to work(It's much, much worse than my onbaord AC'97 but it'll do for now.) out of the blue.

If only my sound problem could be so easily solved :(.

Ok... I'm assuming it works now, because KMix has different volume settings and stuff. The thing is, it's not working fully. As soon as I try to play something in XMMS(Which I installed from an RPM on one of the Mandrake CDs) it starts to loop over and over, but this time I'm able to stop it without crashing all sound. Any suggestions? EDIT: Playing a CD works, just like before, but XMMS used to work, and it no longer does. EDIT2: Sounds in games don't work either. I think I'm just doomed to be without sound in Mandrake :(.

Ok, KMix was the program that was holding it. This is the output since then.

I turned arts off a while ago because of some tips. I tried that anyway, and it said no processes killed.

Ok, I tried modprobe -r snd-via82xx and everytime I type it in it just says snd-via82xx: Device or resoruce busy. To my knowledge, there is no sound playing.

Meh, I already downloaded and installed the RPM you gave me a link to. The thing is, after I try to install the viaudiocombo-2.3-1.rpm I get this:

Oh, ok. I'll download this one and tell you the results after I'm done installing it. Sorry, I'm new to Linux and now I know that what I want is kernel-source, which is an rpm, not a srpm :P.

Alright, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here now. urpmi kernel-source doesn't work, and I've tried downloading kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm twice, but it won't install through KDE, how would I install it through Konsole?

I tried that because I figured that might be a problem, but I can't find the kernel source(which you need to install the drivers) on the Mandrake CDs because I don't think it's on there. I have the default kernel version. Do you know where to get the source(2.44 or something I think, how do I check that?), and where I should put it? /usr/src/linux-versionnumber? EDIT: I'm also not going to try compiling the latest kernel, using that, and the source for that without a tutorial, because the last time I tried I got to ./configure and no further.

Hi. My Via AC'97 onboard sound doesn't work. No sound at all. I know for a fact it isn't muted too. I'm using Mandrake 9.2 and KDE. I can get sound from CDs by turning up the headphone volume in KMix but I can't get sound from games, videos, or any other way. If I try to play a video the sound plays over and over in a two second or so loop, even if I close Totem it plays until I reboot. I can't test to see if MP3s will play because I can't find a Windows audio player that Wine works with, and I can't install XMMS because glibc fails to install. Thanks for your help. I hope this is in the right forum. It's late and I might have missed a more proper one. EDIT: Forgot my PC Specs since they could help. AMD Athlon 2400+ T-Bred Elitegroup K7VMM2 Motherboard 256MB Ram
