mtweidmann Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I upgraded my computer over the weekend, one of the things I kept was my ABit AU10 sound card. I've installed MDK 9.2 and Win2K as on the old system, but while I have sound in Windows, in Linux the only sound I get is the TV card which connects to the Line-In. The card is detected and identified correctly (or at least the same settings as before) and all the modules are getting loaded. I've tried poking around alsamixer and aumix, but no joy there. Tried various different apps includng arts and non-arts apps, but everything seems to equally affected. Had a look in "/dev/sound/" and there are entries for: audiodmfm dmmidi dsp midi mixer sequencer sequencer2 (no entry for pcm?!) Here is the information that KDE Control Centre gives me (again same as on old system). Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.6 emulation code)Kernel: Linux localhost 2.4.22-24mdk #1 Tue Nov 4 15:08:30 CET 2003 x86_64 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: ForteMedia FM801-AU at 0xdc00, irq 10 Audio devices: 0: FM801 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: 0: OPL3 FM synth Midi devices: 0: MPU-401 (UART) 0-0 Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: Wolfson WM9704M/WM9704Q,SigmaTe The system spec is: AMD Athlon64 3200 MSI K8T-Neo (built in sound card, but I disbaled it in the BIOS) 512MB RAM 40GB HD WinTV Theatre TV card ABit AU10 Sound Card Mandrake 9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 did you try running sndconfig? it tends to be for older cards, but it might be worth a shot. in terminal, su to root, type sndconfig, hit enter, follow the prompts & wait. (it takes a while to find the card) if you get an error when you try to run it, that means it isn't installed, so just go to MCC->install software & search for sndconfig. it's on one of the MDK cd's. install it, then run it again.

mtweidmann Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Thanks for the advice, sndconfig says that my card isn't supported. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I NOW HAVE SOUND! :D Should anyone have the same card and problem, switch the driver being used to "forte" rather than the default. I found this out by working my way through the list of drivers until one worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
