raysr Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 My main problem is sound. I have an external usb creative labs card 24 bit. I can't get it to work. The kmix icon on the toolbar has a red X on it. Also I downloaded RealPlayer rpm and installed it but it won't launch. I get this error in terminal:/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory . I could sure use some help. Xandros and Mepis picked up the external card right off. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 regarding the missing libstdc++.so.5, follow these installation steps: Mandrakelinux Control Center Software Management Install Software Packages libstdc++5-3.3.4-4mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysr Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks for the tip, I looked in there before and never saw it! Fixed the RealPlayer issue. now the sound...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Try running alsaconf, and see if this helps? At the CLI type su, supply root password, then type alsaconf, and run the config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysr Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I tried that, no luck. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 What kernel are you running? From the CLI type "uname -r" and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysr Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 uname-r, "command not found" I assume by "CL1" you mean terminal as root. Kernel 2.6.11.6 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 there is a space between uname and -r you don't need to be root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysr Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 2.6.11.6 is the kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsm405 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hello I also have a similar problem: I installed LE2005 on a ACER 4052 laptop (Intel centrino 725 chip set 1.6mhz on a intel motherboard with support for intel ac97 sound system). I tried playing cds - the KsCD plays it but I cannot hear it. I tried 'alsaconf' and configured as appropriate (with what ever was prompted and given as default). The 'chkconfig --list sound' gives me the output of something like: 1 2 3 4 5 6 off off on on on off If the above are the PCM channels - how do I turn all of them on? The alsa drivers load perfectly at bootup. KMix is perfectly fine showing all options to be in green (no red color codes). This laptop was earlier loaded with (old versions of) suselinux and red hat linux. And in both the sound system on teh laptop worked perfectly fine! Can anyone help? Thanks a lot in advance cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 The chkconfig --list sound shows you how the service runs based on the different runlevels. Runlevel 3 is booting to a CLI prompt and logging in this way, Runlevel 5 is when you're in the GUI. Runlevel 6 is when you shut the machine down. One of the others, can't remember which one, perhaps 1 or 2 is single user mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, now I understand that the ' chkconfig' is not really the something that help! I found that the libstdc++ was not installed so I did: Mandrakelinux Control CenterSoftware Management Install Software Packages libstdc++5-3.3.4-4mdk This went thru smoothly. Is there anything else that I can do to configure the system? (By the way, at boot time, the messages on the screen shows that the 'alsa' driver has been installed successfully with the string : ' intel8x0' repeating twice.... (is that a possible problem?) Again thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 No, that's fine. I had that with mine. I even removed the alsa configuration and redid it and it put it in twice. On 10.0 and 10.1 never had this happen, so at first I thought it was an issue, but my sound worked perfectly fine. If you've been into KMix and set the volume levels, and made sure all the greens are lit up, rather than dark green, you should be OK. Check in Configure Your Desktop and Sound and click the test button and see if you can hear anything. Check volume controls on the laptop too, I have a dial for mine, so I have had to check this before, as I had it turned down!!! And I thought it was a config problem, it was just turning up the dial.

tsm405 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks a lot! I would like to add that I did the following: - went into mandrake control centre and -- installed all sound (kde) related libraries /software packages (including aumix). - checked out kmix and saw that all buttons was lit with light green color. (no red buttons) -- on the output tab, saw to it that all yellow buttons were of the light ones (except video). -- ensured that all the sliders are at their maximum And then when I ran kscd, the music turned on. So is there a structured way to reproduce what went wrong? Dont really know! Perhaps the mandriva team should fix this... thanks once more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
