CarlJF Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Is there other people here that have problem with MDK10 and SBLive! Value ? What I get is a continous strident sound coming from the soundcard. Changing the alsa driver (snd-emu101k) to the OSS one (emu101k) solve the problem. But I cannot use applications that use ALSA and must stick with the OSS driver. Any idea on what may happen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Just installed 10 last night on system with a SBlive card. It all seemed to configure correctly on its own. I would double-check to insure any onboard sound stuff is disabled in the BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem...except I won't get any sound at all with the snd-emu10k1 driver. I have not found a solution.

xJlM Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 This is my first post here, so please excuse my inexperience. I had the same problems with the alsa driver until I took a look at my mixer settings. The feedback I was getting was coming from the microphone, which I don't even have hooked up. What I did was get the system up and running, and then(with the volume low) adjusted the mixer until I got the controls identified. When I figured out which one was causing the problem, I turned it all the way down and muted it. Now my DVD player works far better than any Windoze app I ever saw, and Flash is once again something to be enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlJF Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks! Muting the mic (none are connected to the soundcard) in the mixer solve the problem. Now, everything works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padma Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Muting the mic! I never thought of that! I don't have one connected, but I am having the same problems described. I will definitely have to try this when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padma Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Aha-HAH! That did the trick. Disable the on-board sound from the bios, and then mute the mic! I have sound again in Linux! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hello everyone. I installed Mandrake 10 earlier today and had the same problem you all had. The Microphone setting being up and not muted was the cause of the problem. So I can support the remedy spoken of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
