Kieth Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I changed the sound, but then changed it back to alsa, as it seems to work better with the other things (games, etc.). While doing it, the following errors were noted. Do they mean anything? # draksound Doing alsactl to store mixer settings... [ OK ] Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.6): /dev/dsp: /dev/mixer: no. (sound is being used by pid 5255 )) [FAILED] Loading mixer settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1139: No soundcards found...

adamw Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 So long as everything's working as it was before, no, nothing important, likely just transient errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I once again went into MCC to try and resolve my sound problem. I went into trouble shooting, and it said to give several commands in a terminal to try and resolve any problems. I did that, but of course it doesn't mean a thing to me. Therefore, I am listing what I put in the terminal in the hopes that someone would be able to understand them and find the problem I'm having.

scarecrow Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) On kscd, enable digital output for your CD-ROM... if you don't use an internal analog cable to your soundcard (most people don't use such a cable). Some older CD-ROM's don't support digital output, or do support it but sound like crap, so you do have to use an analog cable connection.

Kieth Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 In Settings and Behavior, the CD-ROM device is set to /dev/cdrom. Below it, there is a box to allow direct digital playback, but it is not "highlighted". Therefore, I cannot check. What should I do to correct it?

scarecrow Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) That "probably" means that your CD-ROM does not support digital playback, and you have to use the analog output by connecting an internal cable from Cd-ROM to soundcard. You could also try to use the real physical device (something like /dev/hdc ) instead of /dev/cdrom which should be an udev alias. Please check your udev.rules ( or 50-mdk.rules or 00.rules or whatever name it has) under /etc/udev/rules.d/ You could also edit /etc/udev/cdsymlinks.conf to have your CD-ROM devices pointed to whatever device node you like.
