asus a7s8x-mx sound problem! NOT RESOLVED

**naked dave** · 02-25-2006

hey all

Im new(ish) to linux, ive had limited experience with FC4 before switching over to ubuntu for the first time last night. Ive been messing around with it but i cant work out how to get the sound to play.

I have an ASUS A7S8X-MX mainboard but the only driver i came across was for a Red Hat Distro so that wasnt too much use to me. Im desperate to get sound on this as I was intending to use it as a client and pull the music off my server machine in another room through it. Any help would be most appreciated.

do you mean that the driver was in .rpm format?

there is a program called alien that will convert from .rpm to .deb, which you can then install with

Code:

dpkg -i package_name.deb

yeah im pretty sure it was .rpm so ill look it up and let you know how i got on

nope still no luck with that.

Anyone suggest any sort of help that might be able to aid me in getting some sort of sound out of my Ubuntu box.

I've checked the sound options and its detected a SiS driver, which is a good thing but theres still no joy on the sound front. No output from totem or from mplayer.

did you unmute the sound? try running

Code:

alsamixer

and make sure things are not muted

nope stuffs not muted its quite strange is this one. i cant see why im not gettign any sound because i dont get error messages about drivers or anything!
