A Cow 0 Posted February 22, 2004 well after a TON of compiling.. nothign.. any more ideas? Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted February 22, 2004 Yes, check the alsamixer settings to see if the sound is not muted, or set the volume up all the way. Is is a nForce motherboard. correct? Look at the following thread, especially the last post on the thread. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=137883&highlight=a7v8x Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted February 22, 2004 It is understandable if you want your on board sound to work, but if starts to be a real pain, just go to the computer store and buy a soundblaster. They're reasonably priced, will likely give better sound, and you'll retain more hair.. Share this post Link to post
A Cow 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Quote: heya i think i might of solved it this is however for libranet *debian* here is what i did so if you want it to happen do this. fsck the nvidia drivers, sorry but the vanilla kernel 2.6.2 has plenty good built in modules that will do fine... for one nic and onboard working audio (thats all i wanted) when configuring your kernel go to 1. sound 2. alsa 3. pci devices 4. select Intel 8x0...............Nforce audio 5 make your kernel and install it 6. install your alsa drivers for 1.0.2c-2 7. now edit your modules.conf file or equivalent 8. reboot and make sure to open up alsamixer in the console and turn the sound on. ( for some dumb reason alsa starts up with no audio) here is how mine looks alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss good luck fellas and happy linuxing mind telling that to me in laymans terms? also.. if i loose my hair i will look like bruce willas? is there any prob with that? its almost cut right off now.. so a little more wouldnt make a diffrence.. and i kinda dont wana have to spend anymore on this comptuer (just finished building it.. and it cost about 1.5k.. ) Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Now you know what Dapper Dan was talking about! Be careful...I look like Bruce, well, at least the hair. When you run the autodetect for the sound, is one of the choices the intel sound - try choosing that over the nforce choice. Then make sure sound is not muted and turn it up all the way (the first slide bar on the left). If using KDE, type in a console aumix or kmix. Or look for the sound icon on the bottom right of the task bar and right click it, open the mixer and pump the sound up. I don't know if the alsa system is in redhat, but at a console, type alsamixer and see if the guide bar is set up all the way. Share this post Link to post
