Guest simonnj Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I have installed mandrake 9.2 on my computer, I have got sound, but, at full volume, and would like to be able to turn it down. when I run dmesg I see the following messeges: Via 686a/8233/8235 audio driver 1.9.1-ac3 via82cxxx: Six channel audio available PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:11.5 to 64 ac97_codec: AC97 codec, id: CMI97 (CMedia) AC97 codec does not have proper volume support. via82cxxx: Codec rate locked at 48Khz via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xD800, IRQ 22 I guess an update of something would fix it but what? other details motherboard ASROCK M7VM4 Athlon XP2400+ 512Mb chipsets North.B VIA KM400 South.B VIA VT8235CE soundchip via8233 /etc/modules.conf file has these lines alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore above via82cxxx_audio snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss lsmod has these lines snd-pcm-oss 43652 0 (unused) snd-pcm 79588 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 9044 0 [snd-pcm] snd-timer 18436 0 [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 14200 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd 41380 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] via82cxxx_audio 22112 1 ac97_codec 15828 0 [via82cxxx_audio] uart401 8356 0 [via82cxxx_audio] sound 71528 0 [via82cxxx_audio uart401] soundcore 6340 0 [snd via82cxxx_audio sound] If i run alsaconf it is only willing to configure with the module snd-via82xx which doesn't work with my sound chip. I am a linux noobie and am stumped. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Have you tried adjusting the volume level in the program you are using? Like in xmms or xine? You can also try adjusting the volume in aumix. aumix should be in the K menu under Multimedia -> Sound, but if not open up a terminal (konsole will do) and type: su <enter> <root password and press enter> urpmi aumix to install it. That should give you volume control. Also, welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonnj Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi, thanks for the reply. Yeh, have tried adjusting the volume in xmms, and kmix, and now aumix too. All make no difference. I'm thinking there should be an update to the ac97 codec having seen the message it gives in dmesg. but i can't find one anywhere.

Pzatch Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Have you checked out the VIA website they might have a few hints there. They seem quite Linux friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
