I have got the mandriva 2008 spring from the LINUX for you magazine MAY 2008 issue.

 

and i installed it in my core2duo/intel D945GCL, the control panel is showing that it has the driver but its not working i can't hear the sound when i play a mp3 file. I am a newbie, i want to accept Linux as my main operating system but not without sound.

 

Can anyone please help me?

I hv sigmatel software in windows.

 

where can i find the appropriate driver.

my linux is showing snd_hda_intel as the default driver but its not working :wall:

PLEASE HELP

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 ???.

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.

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).

I think my hadware is Not supported by mandriva

its 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?
