Hatepe Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 (edited) In mandrake 9.1 everything but my soundcard is running now. When I play a wave, I can 'see' it playing in the media-player, but it makes no sound at all! I just runned sndconfig from root and it detected my SB Live! correctly. Then it said: "PCI Creative Labs | SB Live! currently not supported." I am surprised, because it is a well known card :o Is there a way to get it working?

somedude Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Try to manually select the driver - emu10k1. I believe you can either do it in the Control Center or by typing drakesound at the command prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchor Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 That's strange. I've had MDk 9.0 nearly until now and my SB Live! 1024 worked fine with ALSA -even 4.1 output-. Recently it died and I bought a SB Live! 5.1 Digital. It didn't work well with ALSA. Xmms wouldn't even run with ALSA running, and alsamixer didn't work anymore. But maybe it is not your problem: you see some wave "playing", right? Maybe your volume levels are too low -ok, seems obvious, but who knows?. If you run the ALSA driver (snd-emu10k1), run alsamixer and go setting volume sliders up until you hear anything. The slider i's usually PCM or WAVE, but maybe is another for you. If that doesn't work, try the OSS driver instead, emu10k1. In either case you can use kmix to set the mixer sliders too. If it was supported in Mandrake 9.0, it SHOULD work on 9.1, but I haven't had that version, so I don't now Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Try to configure your sound card with draksound: $ su # draksound Then choose snd-em10k1 for the ALSA module of SB Live! Note: Make sure you have disabled On-board sound in the BIOS if you haven't done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all of you for the suggestions, but this one worked right away :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
