Guest paddygav Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Using TP 600e, 400mhz I recently upgraded from RH8.1 to Mandriva 2005 last month, and have been unable to make sound work at all. It took some configuring to make it work under RH, so I didn't expect it to "just work". Well, given that it is 2005, I did expect it to just work. Anyway, it sees the card and tries to install a CS46xx driver. Alsaconf tells me (and this is the way it used to work) that even though it says CS46xx, we need the CS4232 driver. It pretends to load it, then nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. I had the local LUG look at it - no ideas. Has anyone made this laptop make sound? How did you do it? HALP! anything is greatly appreciated. I have to have sound or I might switch to some sucky OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Better use the Mandriva Control Center and not alsaconf in Mandriva. Close every sound application (including kmix in the systray) and load the module again (with the MCC, select driver etcetc). Then check in alsa is running (MCC, system, services) and try again. If you don't get errors open a console and type: alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted. If you do get errors port 'm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paddygav Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 when I use the mandriva control center, it tells me that starting Alsa is "OK", but it never switches to "running" after typing "alsamixer" I get "function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" does this help?

Guest paddygav Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 AHA! I killed sndconf and ran strictly ALSA (and did a goofy reset thing in my BIOS, and I have sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kosmonaut Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi! I am not to sure if it will work with mandriva but you might want to take a look at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x...rrus/+bug/40116 Warren Butler gives a possible solution for sound issue on a 600e.
