Sound not working in 2009.1 [solved]

[hanes]

Hi, Im having problems getting my sound to work on either my Soundblaster live 5.1 card or my onboard Via ac97 card (driver via8237)

 

I have tried it with both cards on, with only the soundblaster plugged in and the bios setting for the Ac97 off, and I have tried it with the soundblaster unplugged and the AC97 turned on. No combinations work.

 

I am using the new Mandriva 2009.1, I am starting to think this is a bug?

 

KMix seems to get the drivers working just fine, I see two tabs, one for each card.

 

Here is a printout of lpsci

I know the cards should work because they used to work with Mandriva 2007.

 

I tried changing settings in Pavucontrol, no change

 

Anyone know whats going on? I looked at this thread (https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=83944) which seemed to be the same problem, but it doesn't work for me.

Partial Fix. Fooled around in Pavucontrol and with some settings, and now it works on Line Out only. Which is weird, cant control the volume so.... I donno :)

 

Wonder if I should roll back to 2009

It's a known bug !

bug 48690

 

for the soundblaster card

With pulseaudio enabled, launch "pavucontrol", click on the "profiles" tab, and

select "analog stereo" profile, to have a correct sound.
