onboard sound

[klemm]

Hello

 

H just bought my new box and have problem with onboard sound

I do have the sound output from my computer, but it does not accept the inputs Line-In and Mic. They are dead silent. Did run the alsaconfig just in any case but no luck.

 

Any hint where to troubleshoot it ?

and Mandrake 10.1 Official

 

Thanks

Run "alsamixer" in a root console, and check if the above inputs are muted.

Can you post/attach your /etc/modprobe.conf please?

Tried alsamix

there is <line-in> that can not be tuned ?

 

My modprobe.conf looks like that

# This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using generate-modprobe.conf command

alias eth0 8139too
remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true

mixers tend to be irritating. You need to select the line-in as the 'capture' source - i.e., tell the soundcard that when it's recording, it should record from the line-in. I find aumix the easiest mixer to use for this job, it's got a bunch of green lights down the side. When you click one it turns red and that means it's been picked as the input source. So click the one next to line-in or mic. HTH...
