Maybe some additional info, please? :huh: Here are my personal suggestions:

1. What speakers do You have?

2. Do they work properly on other distro's/OS?

3. What distro (version) are You using?

4. A bunch of info about Your sound drivers would be very helpful, i.e.

a. what driver are You using currently (in Mandriva 2007 You'll get it from output of "grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf" command on console)

b. is sound card module loaded? (print output of "lsmod" command as a root user)

c. are "sound" and "alsa" services configured for running on initlevel 3? ("sbin/chkconfig --listsound" and "/sbin/chkconfig --listalsa").

Your are right friend . I should have given some more information. Here it is:

1-I have a A100-192 Toshiba notebook . They have Harmon/kardon speakers.(I/O Controller Hub High Definition Audio)(harddrake says it),

2-They work properly on windows; sorry about not telling it.

3-Mandriva 2007

4-It is snd-hda-intel , module is loaded

Alsa ==> 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

SOund ==>0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

 

 

BUT now , can you tell what is Alsa and SOund ?

WHat is initlevel?

And how do you learn all these commands? Can you tell something to find these. I know trying , examining.. But I am sure I can't learn these with learning them one by one. I should find a way faster...

in my own bad words

In short alsa and sound are services, I would describe these as piece of software that have a special role: provide a single given functionality

 

Sound enable the sound

Sound can use drivers which are OSS (old method) or ALSA-based newer method

 

Init level: ways to run computer with different amount

of user privilege, single or multi users, with or without GUI

 

I suggest you google for rute + linux + exposition

then linux newbie admin guide

 

Look for mandriva doc

 

Happy google as well. Steep learning curve but well worth it

 

Sound:

Did you try to run kmix - go to a console and type kmix &

 

Did you always have the problem in mandy, and for all applications?

 

Going away so please keep going with previous poster

Some of it relies on the volume levels, if they are set to high it can be really bad. Go into Multimedia/Sound/KMix, and then set the volume leves to about 50%. Then listen again.

HEy friend you are right. It was because of the volume level . I have never guessed it. Thank you .Friend please be around . You really help me.
