Help with deleting files

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have been trying to get my sound card working for the past 48 hours. I have had a member named devries helping me along. Unfortunatly he had to go. He gave me this link http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@list...t/msg13884.html but not info on how to remove those files. I hope this is in the right forum because I figured that removing the files would be software related.

 

I am a complete newbie to linux and i'm trying to learn. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

 

:help:

what files are we trying to delete? Guessing you installed something and want to remove this, but it will depend on what type of file you installed. Is it from the "Install Software" program, was it a RPM, or was it from source? Or maybe its something else your trying to remove ???

The two modules above are OSS modules, you have to remove them.

rm -f ??????

or

rmmod ????????

 

I don't know which they meant. Modules should never be deleted. You could mv (move/rename them I guess, which I have done to stop the loading of unwanted modules). I believe that was the intent of the poster on the mailing list however it's not the first choice. The question is, why are oss and alsa modules being loaded. Config is wrong, IF this is the case however I'd bet this user was trying to manually get the alsa modules loaded with modporbe w/o rmmod'ing the oss.

 

If this is ML-10 post the contents of your

/etc/modprobe.conf

file and also the output from a terminal of the command

lsmod

Ok I will post the contents in a few moments. Im in Winxp right now so.

 

Unfortunatly I already deleted the files. If you look at my last post of my other topic, it says which files I had deleted. Is there a way to get it back if I need it? If I don't hear a response from you soon, I will go ahead and start a new topic in Hardware. Thanks.

Back in mandrake now.

 

I tried to do the /etc/modprobe.conf but it says permission denied. (using normal and root both say the same thing).

 

I did do a lsmod though:

The name of the driver I set it to using harddrake is snd-via82xx. It says that snd-via82xx is an alsa driver. Whereas, the Via82cxxx_audio is OSS. Using the troubleshooter in the config tool in harddrake I found what the default driver for my sound card is. Which is snd-via82xx. It would be great if you could resolve this problem for me. One question though, was devries on the right path to solving my issue?

 

Thanks very much.

I tried to open up modprobe.conf without using the konsole and I got this in KWrite:

 

alias eth0 via-rhine

alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx

options snd-via82xx enable=1

install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-via82xx && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true

remove snd-via82xx { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-via82xx

Hi, sorry for the late reply, watching the olympics :D

 

 

[root@main ryan]# chkconfig --list | grep alsa

alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

 

 

 

 

Doing alsactl to store mixer settings... [ OK ]

Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.2c): [ OK ]

[root@main ryan]# service alsa start

Starting ALSA version 1.0.2c: via82xx. [ OK ]

Doing alsactl to restore mixer settings... [ OK ]

 

Hope this helps.

well, if you are sure you are not muted and the volume is up the only other thing I can think of is to change your settings in the kde control center (assuming you are in kde). Tell it to use alsa. I can't really tell ya how and what becasue i use gnome and it's been a long time since I've used the onboard in kde. I have the same onboard sound but have it disable in the bios and use a soundblaster, but I'm pretty sure you tell kde to use the alsa sound server.

I don't know if it's muted or not. I can't open the alsamixergui. The sound works fine in XP though so I know it's not the sound card. I have went into the setting in the Control Center and ive changed it to alsa a while ago, it didn't have an effect.
