    Sound-Card-Problems

    Hi all,

    i have a laptop with an ATI-Soundcard. Knoppix 3.6 detecteds that the driver "snd-atiixp" is to use. So far, so good. But it doesn't work in KDE. Kmix doesn't find a mixer. In Knoppix 3.4 the soundcard works very good.

    Is anyone there, who can help me?

    Thanks in Advance....

    CKLM

    P.P.S. If you a german and you have a Medion MD41700-Laptop, please send me an PM! Thanks!

    From a console enter "aumix" That should bring up another mixer. You can then make your settings. Then save the settings.

    After that you can enter "aumix -L" to reset the mixer settings.

    My experience is limited to my own effort to get an onboard sound chip to work. I have to use the modprobe command to force it to load the driver for my sound chip, something like "modprobe snd-es18xx..." The command also requires inputting the correct IRQ and port addresses for the sound chip. I found that just using the cheatcode ALSA=es18xx didn't work. Even though it showed loading the driver during boot the sound wasn't working. I also got a "cannot open" error when I tried to start aumix. After the modprobe command aumix would work. Kmix wouldn't show a mixer until after aumix set it up. Since I use 3.4 I don't know what might be different for you in 3.6.

    You might use the search function here to look for your sound card, computer name, driver name, etc. It took me a while to read everything but I eventually found just what I needed.

    Good luck.
