tyme Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 best mp3 player (in my opinion) is XMMS as for that onboard sound, i have no idea why it's being picked up when you have it disabled in the BIOS. what did you do with that jumper? on my system, i left the jumper the way it was, and just disabled sound in the BIOS....

tyme Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 so then use the version that's already there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The version of xmms that ships with RH9 has been crippled by RH, for the most part. I tried to play mp3's I've downloaded of the net and it pops up a message that certain codecs have been removed from xmms because of copyrights bla bla...sorry for the inconvenience. You can either try some of the kde apps on the cd's, download xmms of the net, or use synaptic to get it from the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graeme43 Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 i use KDE as its faster ( so i heard ) and looks nicer :D everything thats installed wont play Mp3's here, and i searched googlle for synaptic and found nothing but Synaptic Soup :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 When searching for a pkg, use; http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/2/simple/2 or http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/ try here http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?idpl=47339...1.i386.rpm.html You'll also need apt and libapt (or aptlibs...can't recall and I'm not on linux rt now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 you just need apt and synaptic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graeme43 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Does anyone know what im doing wrong to disable the onboard sound? :shock: It gets installed by linux and windows picks it. And Redhat 9 doesnt play audio CD's too good as well :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Sorry, but I have not been able to get the .pdf file out of chaintech's taiwan websight. I need to look at it in order to tell you what I think you need to do. I have an award bios where I must turn off or disable three items on two different screens in order to defeat the on-board ac97 audio chip. My board is jumperless, except for clearing cmos and setting the ddr ram base frequency. I have to disable the on-board audio, the soundblaster emulation, and the game port. Otherwise, mandrake sees the chip. I wanted to look at the manual and see the bios screens to give you explicit instruction, or find out that I'm wrong!

Guest Graeme43 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 i went to a screen that had onboard modem, audio and something else... i turned them all do disabled as i have a cable modem right next to me, so i dont need onboard modem ( its not even in my machine, just my mb supports it ) do you think i could be able to get the .pdf? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 In this 4 pg thread I can't recall, but have you tried the "Sound Configuration" utility in RH9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graeme43 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I get sound in redhat because during the first boot wizard thing it lets me choose which i want to use, but mandrake doesnt, that is how, and id MUCH prefer to use Mandrake, im using redhat till i get a way to disable onboard sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
