Mandrake 9.2 Abit NF7 No sound

[dalek]

I have upgraded to Mandrake 9.2 from Mandrake 9.1. The sound no longer works though. I have checked the mute and volume and they are at the max. I have tried different drivers but no help there either. Here is the output of some things that may help.

Wouldn't let me put dmesg though. Too long.

Like I said this worked fine in mandrake 9.1. I haven't even opened the puter.

Any ideas?? I hope you have some, I'm fresh out. :(

Later

:D :D :D

PS, I would like to have sound in Pysol again <sobbing> Please help.

You need to download and rebuild the NVidia nforce drivers from their website. The ones you had for MDK 9.1 won't work with the new kernel you got with MDK 9.2. Once you rebuild them and install them, everything should work fine.

Does this mean I have to compile the kernel? That appears to be what I am reading on the nvidia website.

Tell me it ain't so.

Hoping over here.

:D :D :D

Planet earth huh? What do you know, I from there to. Small world?

[dalek]

Oh, I forgot to mention they don't have one for Mandrake 9.2. I would have to download the tar.gz or the src.rpm file. Which is best?

Later

:D :D :D

[dalek]

I downloaded this file: NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.mdk91up_2.4.21_0.13.athlon.rpm

I installed it, at least it said it did. No sound. Is that the one. The only other ones I see are for the video. Am I missing something here?

Need more help.

Thanks.

:D :D :D

[dalek]

I don't know what I did but it works know. It almost blowed my ears off when it booted up.

How I do dat?

:confused: :D :D :D

[dalek]

Might be a false alarm. It works when I boot and when I get new mail. It don't work in Pysol though. I've got the sound turned on and volume turned up but nothing.

It will play a CD to if that makes a difference.

Know of anything else to try? I rebooted again to make sure it took effect.

Thanks.

:D :D :D

No, you don't need to recompile the Mandrake kernel. You just have to recompile the Nforce kernel modules. You can get either the .tar.gz or the .src.rpm file if you like. I would probably go with the .src.rpm since you are using an RPM based distro. I am not really sure if Mandrake uses different commands, but this is how I would rebuild the Nforce kernel modules in Red Hat. rpmbuild --rebuild --target athlon <file>.src.rpm. This command will rebuild the .src.rpm file and turn on the athlon optimizations. If you rebuilt the .src.rpm file while you were the root user, the binary RPM will be placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/athlon. This directory will be different since you are using Mandrake. After you find out where the binary RPM is located, type rpm -ivh <file>.athlon.rpm and your new kernel modules will be installed for you. If you have any more help, Nvidia has a
Linux discussion forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14), an email address at linux-nforce-bugs@nvidia.com and documentation (http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/ReleaseNotes_Linux_nForce_1.0-0261.html).
