No Sound in Intel i810

**aravind** · 11-07-2003, 03:21 PM

Hello,

1. There seems to be no sound in my Knoppix OS. I am using Knoppix via the LIVE CD. I have Intel 810 sound card.
2. Refresh rate - How do I change my desktop resolution to 800 x 600, 85 Hz? [Windows supports this mode]

Thanks

Try the command "sndconfig" to make sound work.

Hi,

Thanks for the message.

I enabled the sound by going to Command Center->Sound->Enable sound on startup->Apply->yes.

Any idea on the refresh rate / resolution?

No, sorry. Not my area of expertise.

Have you tried in the same Control Center as you set up sound in?
Under Peripherals - X Display

A bit harder in: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
or by running: XFree86 -configure

Thanks for the reply, Mark.

The solution seems to be to enter 'Knoppix screen=800x600 xvrefresh=85'
[Without quotes] at the boot prompt.

I should have read the documentation more, I guess. I found this when I pressed 'F2' [Cheats] while the Knoppix screen is displayed for the first time while booting.

I hope I didn't cause any inconvenience.
