In response to Dennis Gilmore who stated:
Do you need 2 sound cards? try disabling the onboard sound. my mboard
has an onboard ac97 codec which i have disabled and i use a sblive no
problems at all
Sure you could use just one, but not here. I have /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1.
When I turn off on board sound ac97 codec in bios and delete the hwconf
entries for it, delete the /etc/modules.conf entry for it, after rebooting and
running redhat-config-soundcard I get sound, but going into enable sounds
for gnome I get NADA, absolutely nothing with my SBLive card.
So I'm not sure if there is a problem with the /dev/dsp entries or what?
The permissions on the /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 are set to crw.......
Can anyone else give me some sure fire way of reinitializing sound on this
system?
Would very much appreciate it.
Is the esd daemon running? If not: "/usr/bin/esd &" should do it.
Actually it was running so what next? IOW no sound yet.
I removed the SBLive card from the system and now have just the i810 onboard
loaded. Now though I have absolutely zero detection of sound. Go figure.
Anymore ideas?
Thanks
