rapidroller Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) Hello, again. Mandriva LE 2005 is mostly working now, except sound. I have a built-in intel8x0 thingy, and I've searched through the forums for help. Nothing has worked yet. Does anyone know of a way to get sound and music working with an intel8x0? Thanks. :lol: Edited July 25, 2005 by rapidroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Have you ran alsaconf? This will configure your soundcard, and then you can set the volume levels with Kmix in KDE. When you boot, press ESC and view to see if the sound loads. If it does, then you can go into Configure Your Desktop in KDE, and then under the Sound option click the test button and see if you hear anything. If not, check Kmix and that the volumes are OK, and the green lights are lit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidroller Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yes, I've ran alsaconf. Kmix gives the error "Mixer cannot be found" when I put the mouse over it. Maybe there's some sort of thing I need to download... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Usually it's OK. What soundcard do you have exactly? Make/Model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidroller Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) I think it's part of my NVidia something mother board. (Yeah, I think I have no clue what I'm talking about :P .) Edited July 21, 2005 by rapidroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Do you get any error messages when you do a "modprobe intel8x0" and "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" from a root console? If you don't then the modules are loaded, and it's just your ALSA needing (re)config, or your soundcard has wrong permissions. Do you have sound if you logout and re-login as root?

rapidroller Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) 1. [rapidroller@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost rapidroller]# modprobe intel8x0 FATAL: Module intel8x0 not found. [root@localhost rapidroller]# modprobe snd-pcrm-oss FATAL: Module snd-pcrm-oss not found. [root@localhost rapidroller]# 2. No sound from root either. Also, in Kmix, it says it cannot load the mixers O_o. EDIT FROM WINDOWS: My soundcard is an NVIDIA® nForce Audio thingy :lol:.

scarecrow Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Actually your second modprobe should be for "snd-pcm-oss", but since "intel8x0" is not loaded it shouldn't help much... Does "insmod intel8x0" work? (according to alsa documentation your onboard soundchip uses that module). Just don't miss that modprobe and insmod must be done via a ROOT console.

rapidroller Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) I looked at the man for insmod, and it says I need a filename. How exactly am I supposed to use it to fix the sound? PRE-POST: I did a modprobe for snd-pcm-oss, and no error came up. I'm going to try changing my sound and I'll report. EDIT: snd-pcm-oss wasn't found on the list of sound driver thingies. I can't do an urpmi right now because I'm installing like 256 games right now... Edited July 23, 2005 by rapidroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidroller Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 urpmi can't find the sound driver. I still have no clue what to do from here...my sound card is being really screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 If you click the Test Sound button under Configure Your Desktop/Sound/Sound System, do you hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidroller Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) No. I tried both sound and MIDI. Nada. Edited July 23, 2005 by rapidroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Please type "lsmod" without the quotes in a console and pass the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
