Linux newb with troubles
Alrighty then I have been useing Knoppix for about a week and have yet to figure out two main issues. I have searched google and this board for help. Maybe I am stupid but I could really use some advice.
pertinent hardware specs:
MOBO: P4P800 delux asus
Sound Card: is integrated Soundmax audio I have no Idea what type other
other than that.
NIC: uses linux driver 3c2000.o driver
ISSUE 1: I have downloaded the appropriate sound driver , I have unpacked
iboth it and the tar inside the zip. I opened the terminal from the file
and tried about a dozen different ways folks have told me to get
the driver built. so far I CANT SEEM TO GET IT TO MAKE RIGHT and
and I am about to pull my hair out. all I have managed is to run
the configure script but thats about as far as I have managed to get
ISSUE 2: I have managed to get the driver to build for this device but I cant seem to get knoppix to load it either from a floppy (which I am haveing random troubles with) nore from the HD partition I set up for it on my comp. can anybody help?
thanks for any help i truely appreciate any advice you can give. I am pulling my hair out (and my wife is starting to give me those "I am calling a psychiatrist" looks)

Try "lsmod|grep sound" in a shell/terminal and see if your sound is indeed recognized
(note the vertical line i.e. pipe symbol is produced by typing "shift key plus the \ key).
If it is then you might try alsamixer to see if the sound is muted (you may need to set the volume levels).
KDE has a sound and devices GUI in the system menu which can be used to test sound after you make changes.
If nothing works up to this point try doing
"/etc/init.d/alsa restart" or /etc/init.d/alsa -autoconfig" in a terminal.
If none of that works just copy and paste the error messages to this thread. Good Luck!

alrighty then,"lsmod|grep" worked in that it showed a sound driver loaded. but as to alsamixer..........knoppix claims there is no such animal either on disk or on partition.
um maybe I am stupid but where is alsamixer supposed to be?
oh and does anybody know how to get a driver to load from a partition ? I have the NIC driver I need made but I have no Idea how to get kknoppix to recognize it on the hd partition where it is saved (and yes it is a linux partitionn)

I'm not sure it this will work for you-but you might want to download a fix script for alsa "fix-alsa-kanotix.sh" from http://kanotix.com/files/
You would then open a shell and excute the script as root i.e type "sh fix-alsa-kanotix.sh"
Hope that works.
