kungfooya Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I am having issues with my sound card in 10.1. When i start kmix it is always muted, no matter what state i leave it in during the last session. I have kmix launching at startup. When I boot up and choose 'verbose mode', it says no sound card found. But when I get into kde/harddrake my sound card shows up there, and the sound works too. Why won't kmix retain its volume settings on reboot? And why doesn't mandrake recognise my sound card on bootup? Also, when i start doom3 there is no sound, but my mp3 players work fine so something is up. I searched around and I am stumped. Thanks for any advice. from harddrake: Identification Vendor: \u200eCreative Labs Description: \u200eSB Live!

devries Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'm guessing you use ALSA? (kmix isn't important here). Open a console, log in as root and type: alsactl store . Doom3: That means your soundcard can't do hardware mixing. Start Doom from a console by typing: soundwrapper <command to start doom> . Soundwrapper checks for a software mixer on your system (in KDE that's arts so you could also start with artsdsp <command to start doom>). The same goes for things like teamspeak. Good luck.

bvc Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 if alsactl is not found install alsa-utils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
