Ixthusdan Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have had this sound card for several years, and it has always worked in Mandrake. But now I have a problem that I can't fix. So, here it is. No kde programs will use the card. Pysol has sound, but nothing related to kde. Why, you ask? When I check it all out, MCC thinks it's using the snd-emu10k1 driver, but draksound thinks it is using the emu10k1 driver. When I check to see what is loaded, the emu10k1 driver is on deck. When I try to change the sound driver with MCC, nvidia is lost!! After I reinstall nvidia, I still have no kde programs using the sound card. What am I missing? Oh, sound worked fine until I ran an update on the Drake tools several weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) what's the low_down in kcontrol? both at install and post install mcc/drakxtools/whatever has always said alsa....but I'm using oss (sb 16 pci ....es1371) nvidia is not lost but as pmpatrick found; alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia is removed from modprobe.conf Edited June 19, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I'll check kcontrol. I set it to auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBak Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Interesting, as an aside, I quit using the kde desktop because from MDK 9.1 on through 10.0 OE I could not get my SB Live or SB Audigy to work. Went to Gnome and life is good (sound wise). Oh, and I actually like the Gnome environment better (that was not a troll comment - sorry).

Ixthusdan Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have in the past had sound in every environment-gnome, kde, enlightenment, icewm- and this is the first time I have had this issue consistently. I am beginning to think that 10 may be a slight recurance of the dreaded 8.1 fiasco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I am beginning to think that 10 may be a slight recurance of the dreaded 8.1 fiasco! It does seem that way, doesn't it :unsure: But, 8.1 was the first mandrake I got to run (7.2 wouldn't)....it was my learning stick, and a great one at that ;) Unfortunately for most users that's not suppose to be the idea :sad: remember, I don't have the sb live, just the sb 16 pci but through all the 10-betas and CE, when I ran kde-3.2 I used alsa, and everything worked. Have you tried to setup alsa manually?...staying away from drakxtools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 No, I haven't. What is the manual setup? (I don't remember-I think I last used it around 8.0!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 basically install and run alsa at boot and edit the module files your self to load the alsa driver for your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
