MrMorden Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) Hello everyone: My sound is now working in Kaffeine, but not in any other program I've tried so far. I've tried RealPlayer and Chromium; no sound from either. In my attempts to solve the problem, I have done Google/linux searches on the following: Sound in kaffeine but not Sound in kaffeine but not elsewhere snd module not found snd moudle not found alsaconf "snd module not found" alsaconf ...and a few others along these lines. I have also tried running alsaconf, which gives me the error "snd module not found" before telling me that it can't find any plug-and-play compatible sound cards. I also checked alsamixer and confirmed that the sound is not muted. (Which it wouldn't be in any case, since I can get sound out of Kaffeine.) [Edit] Also searched this forum for 'Sound Kaffeine'[End edit] The problem first appeared after I recompiled the kernel, compiling ALSA and the intel8x0 driver into the kernel instead of having them as modules. My system information is as follows: Distribution: Mandrake 10.1 Official (with custom kernel) Motherboard: Gigabyte 7NNXP (NForce2) CPU: Athlon XP 3200+ Memory: 1 GB Corsair TwinX Video card: GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB Sound driver: intel8x0 Can someone give me a nudge in the right direction? Thank you for your time. -MrMorden Edited March 4, 2005 by MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Any reason why you would want to have alsa in the kernel? Just build a new kernel. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just build a new kernel. :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought performance might be better if it were directly in the kernel instead of loaded as a package. Just goes to show that I'm a newbie.

MrMorden Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Recompiled ALSA as a module; it works now. Thank you! -MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Latency (that what is important for audio) doesn't improve when you build it in the kernel. http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=23056&hl= What you could try is installing the multimedia kernel (mm). Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
