linux_jester Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I am running a duel Windows 98 and Mandrake 9.1 setup on a Gigabyte K7 Triton 400 (GA-7VA) mother board equiped with an onboard sound card and a PCI Creative labs Soundblaster 1024. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any sound through the SB Live 2024 under Mandrake 9.1 . I know the card is not at fault as it works fine under the Windows 98 OS. Looking in HardDrake I noticed two entries: SB Live! (Audio) VT 8233 [AC 97 Audio Controller] So I assume that the installation has found both the onboard and PCI sound cards. Looking through some newsgroups I stumbled across the following command (and output from my machine) showing what the kernal has seen. --- lspci -vv 00:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can enable the sound on the PCI SB card? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 have you made sure the onboard sound is disabled in the BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 As tyme has said, on-board sound must be completely disabled. My epox has two different areas in the bios that must be switched off in order to disable all aspects of the on-board ac97 audio. I think your board has the same bios that mine has.

Guest JaseP Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yes,... Disable that onboard sound. If your MoBo has jumpers on it for that, use those too (in addition to the BIOS disable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RylNalyevo Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 I had the same problem after installing Mdk9.1. I disabled my mobo sound everything works fine now. My question is this: which config files do I need to edit to remove all proof that the onboard sound ever existed, i.e. keep the system from searching for it during boot?

AussieJohn Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 The simple answer is that you don't have to delete anything. Just disable the onboard sound in the bios AND set the audio jumpers on the mainboard to disabled as the previous posters have advised. Booting up will no longer look for the onboard sound. Forget the way Windows does thing. Cheers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmer Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 i think it is simple, mandrake by default install not the good driver for soundblaster you have to set it to emu100k or something like this in the MCC. and yes try first to disable your onboard card ;).
