RVDowning Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Seems 2009.0 doesn't realize that I have a SoundBlaster card. I had no problems with the 2008.1 install. Any idea how to proceed? The speaker icon in the system tray has a red "x" next to it. Something said to run alsaconf or sndconfig which I did. Now what?

tyme Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Did you check your hardware in MCC? Try switching modules/messing with the configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDowning Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok, got the onboard sound working (AC97). I didn't get the old SoundBlaster card working. But with the onboard sound, I can get rid of the old SoundBlaster card, freeing up a slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVDowning Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) By the way, all I had to do to get onboard sound working was just to enable it in the bios. I had disabled it ages ago to avoid any problems. 2009.0 recognized it immediately. Pidgin audible alerts work fine, but I can't seem to get a chirp out of Opera for email alerts. I'll paste the output of: lspci | grep audio when I get home after work. Edited October 16, 2008 by RVDowning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Just so, since all plays this nicely but I do not know Opera, unpleasantly me. Do not use alsaconf and sndconfig, this last it serves OSS as well as ISA to configuration of old cards, cards rather simultaneously where one should /etc/modprobe.conf in file to pass addresses and breaks options sb16 io=0x220 irq=5 ...Lex Edited October 16, 2008 by Lexicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVDowning Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 RVDowning: Does this thread help? http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=96168 Yep, that would have helped. But as it is, I got the onboard sound working and will pull out the soundblaster since I guess I shouldn't have any further need for it. Any advantage to having both that I am missing? That said, I still haven't been able to get Opera to give an audible alert on email reception since the upgrade to 2009.0, but I'll talk to the Opera people about that.
