GuoJing Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I just got a P4P800 Deluxe and installed Mandrake 9.1 on it. Everything went smooth except for 2 things: - The sound is detected by default but there's no sound. XMMS and other audio apps play songs normally except that there's no sound coming out of the speakers :P I tried selecting different drivers but no use. I also compiled and installed the driver downloaded from Asus site but that has the same problem. It says that the Alsa mixer is muted by default and I have unmuted it, but I still can't get any sound. - I could compile and install the 3com 3c2000 LAN driver fine. insmod, ifconfig, adsl-xxxx worked ok too. However although I did a make and a make install, the driver doesn't seem to be installed properly. I don't get it enabled at bootup, I have to manually go to the folder where I compiled the driver, ifconfig it and insmod it. What should I do to get it automatically load the driver at startup ? Many thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I have heard this a few times. this may sound crazy but if you are using kde and aumix and you haven't set auxmix levels might want to check that out . from kde menu to mutimedia to sound to aumix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest el_ace Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 same problems here but with Audigy2, I can load modules ok but no sound at all. I've been told that before you compile the modules you have to change on KDE Control Panel->Sound System->Sound I/O from Autodetect to ALSA and reboot, then compile. After compiling you have to swich back to Autodetect; I coulnt make it but they say it works. Dunno if I helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 GuoJing: i know the answer to your second problem, i just don't know it _right now_, but it has to do with /etc/modules.conf i believe...when i get on my MDK box at home (in about 5 or so hours) i'll have an answer...

pmpatrick Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I think tyme's right; you have to have the module listed in /etc/modules.conf for the module to be loaded at boot. By way of example, here's my modules.conf file: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 es1371 alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia The driver for my NIC is 8139too and it's on eth0. I think if you add a similar line but replace 8139too with your driver, you'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 also make sure you ran make install and that the driver's .o file is in /usr/src/linux/whereverthedriversareicantremember/net/ or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuoJing Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi thanks a lot for the replies :) I added alias eth0 3c2000 (the driver name) to modules.conf and the NIC works now ! Working on the sound atm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuoJing Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Hi again After making sure that I have unmuted everything, I was pulling my hair out wondering why this pos won't work... Suddenly, among my desperate searches, there pops up a thread where a guy plugs his speakers in the microphone port to test. I thought that was funny, but tried it anyway. Guess what, the f*ing thing works in my LineIn port ! :shock: :P :roll: I think this might have something to do with the fact that this is a 5.1 onboard sound configuration, but I have no idea how to change it. Any suggestion ? :) edit by Ixthusdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
