Guest linuxfingers Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 ok thanks again for this great OS where windows dominate over linux is in the support for the multimedia market i do a lot of music creation using cubase *which is now one of a few programs in windows* i maybe unfair in that comment because it is a fact that most programmerrs wold prefer to write code for windows in the first place. apart from that linux to me is a sure killer OS. my sound card is a emu 0404. mandrake see it as an audigy card so anything to do with sound does not work for me which at times can be annoying to switch between OS. i was wondering if their was any whatever it may be, a driver that does make my s.card work. ? is their a proven working manual configuration for this card *if such a thing exsist* ? are there any other workaround that i could do ? i did write to emu but till now there is no response. thanks in advance linux fingers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since i have been using Mandrake 10.2 i cant leave it alone im on its case every day like magnet to iron. here is a simple tip for other newbies like myself. i have noticed quite a lot of questions which are problems to most newbies that can easily be fixed only if they slow down and stop trying to setup FTP, WEB SERVER MAIL SAMBA, LAN connectivity and all the other drake goodies in 10 minutes from installing. it is more worth while to visit the software companies help page, read and try their simple examples then slowly build to acheive the requirements you need. my excitement at mandrake blinded my logic for learning, this cost me 2 reinstallations. i have since learned to control my eagerness and let my learning flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Sorry no Linux drivers for that card. :( ( something like this always happens when you start out in Linux: people have bought hardware in the past without checking Linux compatibility. Nothing to be done about (except trade it in for another card :) )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 It's still possible to play with sound in Linux. Does your mobo have onboard sound or do you have another soundcard? Install qsynth, load a soundfont and use rosegarden. I's the closest Linux has to Cubase. It's quite good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
