i'm also having trouble w/ my sound card (just sent the email in fact =), but my cd playing works fine. it seems the cd doesn't go through the sound drivers. the drivers only control the volume level of cdrom played stuff.
so its probably a problem w/ the sound config. look in /dev/sndstat for any problems. in addition, check your /var/log/messages for anything pertaining to the sound drivers (for instance, i get dma timeouts that show up there). if you need additional help, it would be helpful for the real guru's out there (as opposed to me...a wimpy newbie =p ) to give them your sound card type (the real sb i asume) and your irq/ioport settings. there just might be a conflict there. hope that helps. =) herbert ho [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 29 Mar 1999, Adam Shand wrote: > > hey. > > i've recently swapped from using a desktop to using my laptop for > everything. i have sound compilied and it's working fine but i am having a > problem playing mp3 with either freeamp or x11amp (either as a normal user > or as root). > > the program loads up, but nothing happens when i hit play. in x11amp you > can see the graphics (the specrum analyzer thingy) flash for a second but it > immediately dies down. > > i'm starting to think that i must have sound configured incorrectly but i > can play cd's okay (which i couldn't do before i recompiled my kernel). > > any idea's suggestions would be much appreciated. i'm running slink with > kernel 2.2.2. > > am i just being stupid? > > thanks, > adam. > __________________ > > on boot up i get: > > Sound initialization started > <Sound Blaster Pro (8 BIT ONLY) (3.1)> at 0x220 irq 5 dma 1,5 > SB DSP version is just 3.1 which means that your card is several years old > (8 bit only device) or alternatively the sound driver is incorrectly > configured.
