I've seen some other posts on here that are similar to the problem i'm having but i have been unable to resolve my problem by following what was posted there...basically I am not getting any sound at all (and I am a complete newbie here, just so you know)
when the sndconfig popped up during install, it tried to play the sample sounds but i heard nothing...clicking "no" to the question of whether i heard anything or not just resulted in it telling me that sound would not be availible. i've run it again, checking to make sure that the volume is turned up in the mixer, but still nothing (unless there's some other control i'm not aware of that's influencing it)
it says it detects the card as a sound blaster live and tries to use the emu10k1 driver, but like i said nothing happens. i'm fairly certain this card is an actual SB card (it didn't come as part of a system at any rate) i tried downloading the alsa drivers and working off their install directions, to install them. it all seemed to be going ok with the configuring and compiling of the drivers, libs, and utils...then i went to load them into the kernel using modprobe, seemed to work except one gave me an error message and wouldn't load. (i don't remember the error right off hand but i could probably duplicate it if necessary) anyways, i went to the sndconfig again and this time it gave me an error along the lines of "could not initialize, your card may not be compatible with RH"
at any rate, i'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to get this to work...maybe my soundcard just isn't compatible, i don't know. if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it, if you need some more information about what's going on tell me what you need cuz like i said, i'm rather new at this and am not sure what info is relevant.
just in case it is relevant though, the modules.conf file looks like:
alias eth0 tulip
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
dunno, at this point i'm just kind of looking for some general direction of how to go about this
thanks if anyone can help
