sound card

sound card

[Juan Hernandez]

Hello Everyone,
I am having some trouble with my sound card.  I installed fedora core 1 about 8 months
ago, and it worked great.  It detected my sound card with sndconf, and I was able
to cget it working with mpg321, and even I got gnopernicus working with festival
and it worked pretty well.  I now got the speakup enabled fc2, and it works great
for the most part, but I can't get my sound card working.  I have an onboard intel
82801DB-ich4 in my machine.  and alsamixer detects it.  so I guess it is enabled.  Any ideas?  thanks in advanced.

Hi
	Are all the volumes unmuted? FC2 uses ALSA, and ALSA defaults to 
having everything muted. Try to unmute them, like this:
amixer set Master 50% on
amixer set PCM 50% on

hi,
This sounds weird but be sure to check the settings in your mixer. When I 
installed fedora the master volume was set to zero. 
Hopefully that is all your problem is also.

You have to configure it with alsaconf.  Run it as root, It'll do
everything.
Thanks,

sound card

[Roy Nickelson]

Hi,
I got speakup to load at startup now totally unrelated is the fact that my
sound card drivers don't apear to be loading when linux starts.  I can't get
any sound such as cd audio until I go into aumix.  as soon as I type
aumix -q I get sound but not before.  it seems i should get sound as soon as
linux starts.

as far as I know.

This would sound like it's one of those vibra16x cards then.

Re: sound card

It is the vibra 16-x card that is hard to make work; the one with 2 8-bit
dma channels. Linux has trouble driving them in full duplex mode and the Alsa
folks say that the card is semi-supported. If it is a normal vibra16 they are
easy enough to make work, I managed to get one working back in 98 it must have
been with the old oss/free drivers under kernel 2.0.27

As far as I can tell from messages sent to blinux-newbie, it is a
soundblaster vibra16 ISA PnP card.  I have a bad feeling about
this.  Anyway, I said I knew nothing about PnP setup as I'm lucky not to
have any yet and directed him over here.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Re: sound card

[rturner2]

hi Kerry,

it is a plug and play sound blaster,
it is pci, the older type of  slots 
it fits in the same type of slot that the double talk fits in.
i believe that is a pci slot?

Re: sound card

Is this ISA or PCI? Plug 'n' play or non-plug 'n' play?
Once we know these things we can tell you what modules with the alsa-drivers
or kernel dirvers you need.
