Mike this whole thing turned into a comedy of errors. I took the old
sound blaster card out and the internal card or chip works, I have
sound. The first time I put the sound card in it worked for a little
while so I really am not sure the the problem but the internal card was
doing the same thing ( working on and off). Seems like it uses a
different driver maybe. What ever was going on seems to have stopped
and sound works good now. Whether or not it will continue is yet to be
seen. This whole sound thing is really confusing. It seems that Pulse
audio works in Alsa,but when i look at the the sound control the
speakers appear to be muted and yet are working. That makes no sense to
me. IT looks as though I should not have any sound at all?? I have
some reading to do if this is to make any sense at all. On top of this
Jack seems involved Does it run on and depend on alsa? Does it not run
at all unless you turn it on? As I remember someone asked me If I was
using Jack if I was would Alsa or Pulse not work. As it stands right
know I have no idea how these sound systems work. I am planning to
spend a lot of today reading in hopes of understanding all this. I
fully expect to loose sound again in the next day or so. As far as I
can tell nothing has been really fixed. I had been typing pavucontrol
in the terminal before when sound quit. I was turning off the computer
and getting sound back again on start up, until I lost sound again with
the warning of a lost connection. So it has been only a temporary fix
and sound would begin crackling and popping before it quit which led me
to believe it was a hardware problem. I don't think this is over yet?
I will Google for a special driver for the sound card. I would like
to have it installed temporarily if it can be made to work. The sound it
produces is really sweet compared to the internal card but I will buy
another card to install, also. I guess this thread is solved at least
for now. Thanks for the help. Doug
P.S. Using the IRC channel was great and a real eye opener.
