Guest climbingmerlin Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) Hi all, I am having problems with my configuration of Mandrake 9.2. I am at present diving into the deepend and moving in one go from windows to linux, and I seem to be having problems with one aspect so far and that is with my sound cards! I have 2, one on board and the other a creative PCI soundcard. At present mandrake is persistant in selecting the on board sound device as the sound card of choice, however I would prefer to use my creative card. Both are visiable and both have the correct drivers attached to them, however I can't get mandrake to use the creative card. Even when i disable the on board card in the BIOS mandrake still thinks that it exisits! Please help... my head is hurting from me banging it on my desk so many times!! Thanks in advance, climbingmerlin Edited September 9, 2004 by climbingmerlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) welcome aboard. :D log in as root. in your /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf files, you should comment out the cards that you do not want to use (simply put a '#' at the beginning of the relevant lines) and leave only the one you need. Make sure the one you want to use is set up correctly (thus being the first used). :) Edited September 9, 2004 by arctic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
