jdion81 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) This is my hardware list: ECS k7s5a Mainboard 256 mb pc133 Kingston SDRAM SB Audigy MP3 ATI Radeon 7500 Generic USB 2.0 Card DLINK DWL 520 Wireless card HP DJ 880c using USB WD 20 gig WD 100 gig SE Maxtor 120 gig SE Acer 24x12x40 CDRW HP dvd 200i DVD+RW Everything works perfect with winXP I have downloaded the Mandrake 10.0 RC1 CD ISO's and used this script to convert them to a DVD ISO. I then burned the ISO and installed MDK to the 20 gig drive eradicating winXP (after a full backup of course). I get 'sound server, fatal error, cpu overload' when I log into KDE. I have done ls /usr/bin > /dev/dsp and I get about 9 seconds of static from the speakers. When I get an error message from KDE there is also a sound that comes from the speakers. When I open XMMS and then open an MP3 and click play XMMS locks. I have tried changing the output settings in XMMS to /dev/dsp , this did not change anything. I have tried opening Totem to play a Xvid video by double clicking on a video file as soon as Totem opens it hangs. If I open Totem without opening a file it hangs also. Any suggestions?

jdion81 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Don't know what fixed it but when I got home from work tonight Totem was locked and I hit ctrl + alt + backspace to reload X and when it came back and KDE loaded I had sound. WoooHOOO Next thing, anyone know how to get 5.1 out of the audigy? Thanks! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Doesn't it do 5.1 automatically? Check in kmix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdion81 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Checking in KMix the only controls on the Output tab are Volume, PCM, Speaker, OGain, Digital1 and Phone out. I am using analog 5.1 speakers (as opposed to digital) I assume if I had Digital speakers the digital1 control would handle the 5.1. I dont see controls for multiple channels anywhere.

jdion81 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I guess I just need to make a post to inspire myself with a solution. I went into Harddrake and ran the config tool for the sound card and changed the audio driver from emu10k1 to snd-emu10k1 and rebooted and all was fine except I needed to install xmms-alsa to get XMMS to work right. Now if I can find an alternative to AutoGordianKnot that works well I will be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
