javaguy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I got a new NVidia card and wondered if I had to reinstall the NVidia drivers. Since every opengl-ish game I run crashed without doing that, I took this as a sign that yes, I did have to. So I reinstalled the NVidia drivers, and now all my games run beautifully, except that now there's no sound. I don't think anything's muted, and the volume on everything in KMix is turned all the way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 What else did you do when you put in the new card and reinstalled the drivers. As far as I know X should have no affect on sound. Perhaps something with the kernel? What sound card? More info would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I didn't do anything else, just removed the old card, popped the new one in, tried running a couple of games and, when they didn't work, ran the driver install. It's a SB Live! 24-bit card, and I agree X shouldn't touch sound, but I can't imagine what else it could be. I had sound right up to the point when I booted to runlevel 3 to install the drivers, and never since. Graphics look stunning though.

ianw1974 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'd be tempted to: alsaconf and see if that helps restore your sound. Also, after running this, make sure all channels require aren't muted using kmix and set correct volume levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Ran alsaconf. I don't think anything is muted, but here's what my kmix looks like: http://www.sammckee.com/images/kmix.jpg and http://www.sammckee.com/images/kmix2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) You don't have any "input" tab at kmix at all, which means alsa isn't properly configured. Does "lsmod" command show a module "emu10k1" as loaded? If it does, then for starters mute the SPDI/F I/O entries... they need 48Khz samplerate, while the normal audio files are 44.1Khz- so they are probably messing alsa.
