ffi Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) for some reason alsa ins't started anymore and also the option to choose sound drivers from mcc has disappeared, see screenshot: Edited November 24, 2007 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) The shot shows the device recognized, and a driver ( snd_emu10k1 ) assigned. alsa is loaded at bootup to restore sound volumes, and that's all... no other need for the alsa daemon running. Check in mcc/services the status of the alsa daemon. If you want to reconfigure the audio device, go to runlevel 3 ( kdesu telinit 3 ), so that nothing will keep your soundcard busy, login at the virtual terminal as root and run "alsaconf".

ffi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 after running alsaconf a few times alsa was working again and I guess the missing button is a bug http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Urgh... this shouldn't have escaped to the 2008 final version. It does not mean much for old farts that are doing their job from terminal, but for a newbie this is a stopper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) Yep. That is why many of us are not moving to 2008 full time until the sound thing is fixed. To give an example. I have rebooted into 2008 on 11 occasions. The first 3 rebbots gave no sound but the next two reboots did give me sound, the next remaining 6 reboots were sound dead. There are no error messages from alsa or anywhere else. There is just no sound. I thought the latest kernel might make a difference but no such luck. Cheers. John.

zibi1981 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) I also had problems with sound under 2008.0, which I didn't have when using 2007.0/2007.1 previously. I have two sound cards: one integrated AC'97 (disabled in BIOS), and a Sound Blaster on PCI. I had had the first one selected in KMix as a default mixer, and that was the case. One of the users from polish Mandriva fan site advised me to put the driver for the AC'97 sound card on a blacklist and it did help. Here's how I did it: 1) In /etc/modprobe.conf: alias eth0 8139too install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_via; /sbin/modprobe usb_storage; /bin/true # alias sound-slot-1 snd_via82xx install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /bin/true install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe via82cxxx; /bin/true remove snd_emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_emu10k1 install snd_emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_emu10k1 2) and in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mdv: # blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug # see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat blacklist rivatv blacklist snd_via82xx Now I have sound everytime I reboot to my 2008.0. Maybe it will help someone. P.S. Unfortunately I can't install ATI drivers... Edited December 1, 2007 by zibi1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
