caddyman379 Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 hey, brit yeah i've been having the exact same problem as you are. basically, like you, i'm just learning mandrake and i haven't had many problems up until it comes to installing the sound card drivers.

DMIL Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Brit, Hang in there... I've been trying all the same things you have, with no success (so far over 20 man hours). I have an au8820 and am real curious to see if you get yours working. I'm probably just going to go out and buy an ALSA compatible sound card tho. It has been a real learning experience. Also, big thanks to all responders... been trying the same suggestions as Brit Regards Dave P.S. Anyone care to suggest a good (cheap) Linux PCI sound card with analog game port?

beesea Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 (edited) i have an aureal soundcard and here's how i got mine working. the problem i had is that the au8820 module i needed to load needs to be loaded by force with "insmod -f au8820". first i added this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: modprobe soundcore > /dev/null insmod -f au8820 > /dev/null and delete (or comment out) these lines in /etc/modules.conf, if they're there: alias char-major-14 sound alias sound-slot-0 sound alias sound au8820 alias midi au8820 hope this works for you EDIT: it shouldn't make a difference, but i used the cvs version Edited January 9, 2004 by beesea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-tux Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi all, With mdk 9.1, I installed my au8810 card via sourceforge (see post aureal 8810) I upgraded to mdk 9.2 and found much easier and faster to install ALSA (support au8810,8820,8830 aureal cards) Hope it will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 the 2.6 kernel has alsa built in, and as chris-tux said the new alsa has support for au88x0 cards, so that might the be the easiest solution. of course, you'd have upgrade to 2.6 (which wasn't too bad in my own experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
