Another sound problem

[bvc]

[watch is not work this time :roll:  :P ]

That's what hapened :? I can't get either to work, but I'm almost positive it was alsa that worked after install and not oss . Sorry if I got your hopes up, but I've been trying for 1.5hrs and I give up.

 

Is there a way to be perfectly sure everything is unmuted and slides are set to 100%.  

until sound actually works, I don't know that you can.

 

How do you unmute in "Alsamixer" ?

I d/k....I've always used alsamixergui. Install it in the Software Mgr. or su to root in a terminal and

 

urpmi alsamixergui

 

Good luck! :unsure:

Hate to jump in but have you downloaded and installed the latest VIA drivers. They (MIGHT?) have a driver to fix your problem.

Hate to jump in

jump in all you want.....this sucker is a bear, which is ashame because it's great in windows....better than my sb16 pci...says a lot for an onboard.

Installed alsamixergui and started program.

 

Did unmute "surround sound" and increased volume and it WORKS!!!!

 

So now I have sound but can not get the recorder in Krec to work.

 

I can hear sound going from mic to speaker but nothing captured!

Great! Is that all you did (alsamixergui)?

B4 reinstalling I booted to ML9.1 and uncommented the alsa lines in my modules.conf. Rebooted>logged into kde (didn't try Gnome) and had sound :shock:

 

Reinstalled this morning....alsa sound working :shock:

 

When you try....it won't....when you don't it does.....I can't win. :roll:

 

Glad you got it going!

This worked for me. I had the same motherboard and onboard audio for my MSI motherboard.

 

I should have just scrolled down to the end of this thread as I spent a good deal of time trying out all of these things.

 

What did it is the commenting;

#above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss

 

in the /etc/modules.conf

 

and then rebooting

 

-------------------

I would have NEVER figured that out without the help of this forum.. Thanks everyone.

 

I couple times in the past I have installed mandrake and a couple other distros only to get fed up and return to windows. Now that I have found this forum I hope to keep using Mandrake forever.

 

I also had the mouse scrolling problem with my logitech mouseman+ and another thread helped me reassign the mouse buttons. I don't think I would have ever figured that out.

 

thanks all.
