Thank you to: Carlos Garcia Argos, Ingo Strauch, and Bill Unruh To Carlos: made the external player change as you suggested, not tested yet... To Bill: as both Carlos and Ingo said, that is exactly what I have, and have done...
Thank you Carlos and Ingo for the assistance... To respond to Bill: > What is a boot cheat code? This is not a game you are playing, but an OS you are installing. A boot cheat-code is used during low-level OS initialization, to activate, or de-activate, certain parts of the "auto-configuration" modules, force certain screen resolutions to either the server, or display manager, and in some cases, allows for troubleshooting certain hardware problems, by the use of activation, or non-activation of selected hardware, during the booting sequence. > What is "hard drive installed within that boot"? Anyway things work so I guess neither of us cares. A "hard drive installed within that boot" - means that if you boot the CD up with specific "cheat-codes" - and then run the hard drive installer for Knoppix, that "Knoppix" will be installed with those "boot command parameters" set in the boot for your hard drive installation. Thus, if a person can find a way, through getting their system booted up, by use of these boot codes for the CD, it is then carried to a HDD install, as well. > > Why you would be using Debian unstable on a production system which was a critical part of your work I do not know. Good question Bill, and the answer is really, two of them... (1) Knoppix is what I had, and worked with for more than 6 months now. So, instead of throwing out the bath-water with the baby, I kept, and knew I could keep, Knoppix as a hard drive installed OS, and not have to get something else, and re-learn a different way of doing what I already have learned to do with what I already have. (2) Knoppix, even if it "IS" unstable, and testing, is by far, more stable, and working than any version I already have of "Windows" - so, to scrub Windows, I needed something else to use as a OS, and Knoppix was by far, better, even with its "quirks" than the Windows I was using. I can't really explain it Bill, but dealing with Windows, for me, was more of a pain, and a constant "crash-prone" OS, that even with the problems I am having with Debian/Knoppix, is by far, much less "hell" than with Windows. As for why some information was not provided, and other information was: Some of it was "background", and other information was "needed", to be provided. "Background" information was provided unless "someone" had done the same thing, and possibly, found a way to get it to work. "Needed" information was provided to allow "anyone" to possible deduce a resolve of the problem. Appears that the "background" information did not so much apply to you, but was able to be used by "others", and the "needed" information was more applicable to you, and to "others" Anyway, thanks Bill for the assistance. ALSA is a lot newer to me, than Knoppix/Debian is. As you said: "Anyway things work so I guess neither of us cares." -=- I care... I wanted to provide as much information about what I have, and have done, as well as, what this "small town girl" hasn't done, or thought of. I appreciate the help, no flame intended here, or in this reply, just information. I didn't know you needed to add anything to the boot scripts. With the base sound provided with this OS, it just remembered your sound volume settings for you, and upon returning to the OS, it simply re-set them for you. I didn't even know about the alsactl commands. Thank you for enlightening me :) Ms. Casey Heshler On Saturday 20 March 2004 12:35, Carlos Garcia Argos wrote: > > From: Casey J Heshler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2004 07:04:58 -0600 > > Subject: [Alsa-user] Parts of alsa not working?? > > > > I can not get any Sound Notifications from KDE, assuming I need to point > > KDE to an external player (aplay), this can be because I can't locate > > aplay. > > I had the same problem in the beginning, but solved it pointing KDE to > the external player artsplay.
