twn_onizuka Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 The setup successfully identified the soundcard, however whenever i try to use xmms or any audio program to listen to something no sound can be heard. Has anyone had this proble? if so how did you resoolve it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Open a console and type: alsamixer. Unmute every channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) Do you have all the necessary alsa packages installed? If not, install them, and then open a root console: init 3 (enter root password) alsaconf This will detect the soundcard and write the basic soundmodule preload scripts to /etc/modprobe.conf By the way, can you copypaste that textfile here?

devries Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 If you can open alsamixer there is really no need to run alsaconf (other than it to restore the default settings). All you have to to is readjust the mixer settings in alsamixer. Just play around some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
