help with no sound?

help with no sound?

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hay,
I just tried alsa, and got no sound.
Any idea why?
How do I get sound?
also, how would I mount my secondary hd?
I do
mount /media/hd1 /dev/hd1
and it tells me I need to specify what filesystem... can't I just format or something? I would like to keep my files, but if not, I will be happy with a format as well.
thx,

You most likely need to unmute, and raise the volume of your sound
outputs with a program like alsamixer.

As for mounting your hd,

mount /media/hd1

should be what you want, assuming that /media/hd1 is defined as a
mount point for a valid partition designation in /etc/fstab. Hth.

I get an error when I try to use alsa, and when I try to mount to 
/media/hd1, it tells me I need to specify a filesystem, I am not sure if I 
understand what you mean.

Then most likely, the alsa modules you need aren't loaded, or if they
are, then alsa didn't detect your sound card for some reason. If you
know for a fact that your sound card was detected by alsa, then post
what you are doing, and what errors you're getting.

Still assuming that /media/hd1 is defined as a valid mount point in
/etc/fstab for a partition, maybe you do need to load a module. If the
partition you're trying to mount is fat32, then do:

modprobe vfat

to load the vfatfs module. If the partition you're trying to mount is
ntfs, then do:

modprobe ntfs

to load the ntfs module. If the system tells you the module you're
trying to load isn't found, then you'll need to recompile the kernel,
and include support for the modules you need.

If it still tells you to specify the file system once you've
successfully load the module you need, then the entry in /etc/fstab for
/media/hd1 is probably incorrect, and you'll need to specify the drive
you want to mount to the mount command. For example, if you're trying
to mount the first partition of your second drive on /media/hd1, the
command you'd use is:

mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hd1

If you want to mount the first partition of your second drive on
/media/hd1, and explicitly tell the system that this is an ntfs
partition, the command you'd use would be something like:

mount /dev/hdb1 -t ntfs /media/hd1

If one of these mount commands works for you, then you'll need to
modify /etc/fstab to point /dev/hdb1 to the /media/hd1 mount
point. What the /etc/fstab line to do that would look like depends on
the file system a partition uses. To read about how to use mount, and
umount, read the mount((8), and the umount(8) manual pages. To read
the man page for mount, you'd type:

man mount

Note also that the modprobe commands I've mentioned above need to be
executed as root, and so does the mount command, if you need to
specify the drive and partition to mount.

That's one heck of a contradiction, since if alsa doesn't detect the
soundcard, it doesn't work.

You didn't post what errors you got when trying to set the sound
controls, so I will assume that you know for sure that alsa doesn't
detect the soundcard. For starters, what soundcard do you have, and
did you check on alsa-project.org to see if it's supported? I know
there's an alsa howto, and I believe it's on tldp.org. Did you look
for it and read it? I am assuming also that your card is connected to
the isa or usb bus, since if it's pci, it would be detected, unless
alsa doesn't support your card, or unless you don't have the modules
you need loaded.

That's supported, and I believe it uses the sblive module. If that's
true, and I'm not positive that it is, then you need to load the
snd-emu10k1 module. If you want to be absolutely sure which module
works with your card, have a look at the list of supported cards,
which you should be able to find on alsa-project.org.

I explained this in one of my answers to you yesterday. You use the
modprobe command, as in:

modprobe snd-emu10k1

. Read the modprobe(8) man page to learn more. I explained yesterday how to do that
too.

Re: help with no sound?

[Willem van der Walt]

Hello,
I made the same mistake, thinking the audigy cards will work.
It was sold to us as a sound blaster live.  To get it to work you need to 
install kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3spk.
Kudzu will then pick up the card.  on the old machine I had it in, the 
sound was too fast and crackled.
Another problem is that it also did not seem to support receiving multiple 
audio streams at once like the original sb live does.
By the way it uses the snd-ca0106 module as it does not use the emu10k1 
chip.
I think it is a good card, but the software is not there yet.
I have put a older sb-live card in the machine to solve my problem in the 
mean while.
I have also at some stage installed the fc4 speakup-modified kernel trying 
to get a later version of the driver, but that had a lot of other 
side-effects involving udev.
It also did not solve the problem.
If any one had better results, please let me
know?
Regards, Willem

He's running Debian though, and not fedora.

You wouldn't, since Willem seems to have made the assumption that
you're running fedora. Use the kernel you are running now as you have
been, or build yourself a custom one.

That's because I unknowingly gave you incorrect information. According
to Willem, you need to use the snd-ca0106 module instead. So, you want
to do:

modprobe snd-ca0106

, and see what happens.
