I'm having a little problem with sound on MDK9.1... I don't hear anything for some reason even though everything checks out. The drivers for my "7018 PCI Audio" onboard sound seem to work...Mandrake Control Center says they're all installed and stuff. My speakers work, I've verified that and they're connected to the proper place on the back of the comptuer. I just can't seem to get it to work. Alsa is loaded and I try to play my sounds with XMMS... I can't run aumix -q..it tells me this:
aumix: error opening mixer
That's disoppointing. Maybe that's my problem. I can listen to the sound from the CD-player jack in the front of the CDROM...and change the tracks with XMMS but I want to get my sound to work inside KDE.
I don't have an /sbin/lspci I do have an lsmod but yea. This onboard sound worked just fine in the distro the computer came with...thizlinux or something like that. According to Mandrake control center the hardware has this information:
Well, as far as I know, Mandrake control center does have some bug which makes it say the driver is installed and working even though it isn't. Check with lsmod.
And are you sure that you don't have lspci? I'm pretty sure that it should come with mandrake.
Not that's strange. It all seems to be working. Can you try aumix again? If it doesn't work, run "strace -o strace aumix" (provided that you have strace installed; if you haven't, please install it). That will create a file called strace which lists all the system calls executed by aumix. If it is bearably short, post it here, otherwise mail it to me.
