Guest Revolver Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 After installing with sucess Mandrake 9.1 my problems came, ok i'm newbie but at least i try to learn and enter linux community. So i install everything correctly, my drive is the emu10k1 in my sb live 5.1 and my problem is, i have 5 speakers and a subwoofer And i only achieve to manage sound in the subwoofer and in 3 speakers, the rear ones just don't work, i think isn't from the drive, i have sound, i thnik it's from the software, i have tried XMMS, maybe you with your knowledge know of any plugin or another player that have 5.1 support. PS: The sound in mandrake is just great, far best then in windows. Thanks for all your help :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopy Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 May need to install kernel-source.rpm here so these drivers will complete the compile process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 May need to install kernel-source.rpm here so these drivers will complete the compile process. scoopy is right, you'll need the kernel-source RPM installed. go into software manager and search for "kernel", then look for a file containing the words kernel-source with a version number matching that of the kernel you have installed. or just open a command line, su to root, and type: urpmi kernel-source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 I just remembered something...I dunno if this is true on Mandrake, but I know in Gentoo when installing the emu10k1 driver there is a file (/etc/emu10k1.conf) which holds some settings for the driver. one of the enables 5.1-I would suggestion checking that file, if it exists.
