christophe_ca Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) Hi everyone! I recently installed MDK 9.2 on a PC equipped with sound blaster live! I have no sound. The card is working fine under WinMe. I tried to unmute every channel with aumix and alsamixergui: it didn't work. arts is lauched at boot time and I'm using alsa. I jacked the volume of every channel with kmix and alsamixgui. I don't know what else I could do. When I type alsaconf I get: device_mode int, description "Device file permission mask for devfs." which: no dialog in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin) which: no whiptail in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin) Error, dialog or whiptail not found. Thanks for your help Christophe Edited August 30, 2004 by christophe_ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 can you get it to make any sound if you login as root in cli? just shout if you need help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Look in the Mandrake Control Center (MCC), under hardware, hardware, soundcard (disclaimer: translated from Dutch so actual wording may be different) what driver is being used. Make sure it's an alsa driver if you want to use alsa. However the default sound architecture for kernels 2.4xxx (which comes with Mandrake 9.1) is OSS. So maybe you could better use the OSS driver. Use the config options to experiment with the settings. Make sure you have closed any sound app (including apps like kmix in the system tray) while you do that. Good luck.

christophe_ca Posted September 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I tried switching to OSS and I closed Kmix but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 What errors are you getting? (If you don't get any errors look if nothing is muted in kmix) Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophe_ca Posted September 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I higher the volume of PCM in Kmix and it's now working. Thanks a lot Christophe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
