Mandrake 9 Sound
This is my problem in a nutshell - i a newbie to the linux world, and maybe for that reason system sound eludes me. i'm running Mandrake 9.0, with all the update patches i can find. I have a SiS7012 PCI on-board sound and i can't get it to work! it will "play" the mp3 or even MPEGs, but it's like the speakers are disconnected. in the config areas it says i have the drivers for the soundcard, and i even downloaded the linux patches, all no to avail
 Please if someone knows what i not doing please help me! ie been at this for 3 days and am out of ideas. THANKS!! |

Hi,
I know this sounds silly, but open up a mixer, alsamixer or aumix. And check to see if the volume is turned up. Most of the time the default setting is volume off. OOPS!

Hi,
Sorry to be slow in replying. Been busy with the real world  .To open a mixer, go to your start menu and select: MultiMedia-Sound-Mixer. From the CLI: $bash: aumixer That should bring up aumixer, IF it is installed. If not, it will give you an error telling you it isn't. HTH, OOPS! PS: recheck your speaker connection too. I've been bamboozled by that several times myself. |

Colonel Sanders, i'm happy that this thread has aided you. it's good that it hepled someone. Unfortunetly my linux unstall went bad, and would not boot. So it's back to the installation stage for me. i may yet see if i can obtain a copy of redhat - my drivers cd has sound drivers for redhat....

I just went through a simular incedent with my onboard sound.KDE selected the wrong driver-I went into the configuration tool-(mandrake is awesome) and selected the correct one-Montrose never sounded better than when it blared on!!
