AussieJohn Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Have you checked via Kmix or its equivalent in Gnome that the Sound level control is not set to MUTE ???. Are you using an insert Audio card or the onboard sound system ???. Cheers. John. PS. Welcome to MUB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 As John has already asked, we need to know if you're using an onboard sound chip or an audio card, or both? What audio card do you have? Please open a terminal and post the output of lspci |grep -i audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 OK, are you using the KDE or the Gnome desktop? I need to know this to give you more specific instructions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abinash Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 So sir is there any solution to this problem???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Open Kmix (should be installed, if not then install it). Check that sound has not been muted. Set the Volume to about 85% AND the PCM setting is on around 85% as well (this is the one often overlooked). Also make certain that your sound system is correctly inserted into the correct socket of you Mainboard sound outlet. Cheers. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abinash Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think my hadware is Not supported by mandriva its Intel D945GCL Board. Or is it supported??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 What about pulseaudio setup problems? I for one had a lot of problems with pulseaudio. I'm afraid I'm not with my Mandriva system currently, but it could be that. I had no sound with amarok, but could hear the system sounds (the beeps and sort).

Greg2 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think my hadware is Not supported by mandrivaits Intel D945GCL Board. Or is it supported??? I don't use charts to decide if my equipment will work or not with Linux and it's current drivers. It also sounds like you have it installed and working, except for sound? So please go to your applications menu > Tools > Konsole, and click it to open it. Then in the Konsole copy and paste this command lspci -v > ~/system.txt and hit the enter key. Type in exit and hit the enter key to close the konsole. Now look in your ~/home/your-name-here directory and you will see a system.txt file. Open that file with kwrite, located at Tools > Kwrite. Then please copy and past the complete output in this thread for us to see? Do you understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
