no sound with Knoppix 3.3

[raapie]

I am using Knoppix 3.3 and I am not able to use sound. I use the professional but fully supported RME Hammerfall.

Anyone?

Have you tried typing knoppix alsa at bootup?

[raapie]

how can I do that?

thanks for your help btw!

[SoVieT]

When you boot on the CD, type on the line BOOT :

knoppix alsa

[raapie]

yes, thanks. I misread your reply.

no, that's still not working. I tried to runn Knoppix on my Sony laptop using the same soundcard, but this time it's uaing the cardbus (PCMCIA). Still no luck...

mmm. any ideas?

[windos_no_thanks]

The output of

lspci -v

could be useful. Would you mind posting it ?

In the meantime, a long shot would be to set the bios to "non-plug and play" and reboot with

boot: knoppix alsa

I am now running my Sony laptop for Knoppix. I typed the lspci -v command under the root-shell. But how can I get that text into a file to I can share it? Print+Screen doesn't seem to work like under Windows. Please let me know how I can send the command info to a file, then I will copy it to my other machine and post it here.

I am trying to write about my Linux experiments... must be nice for newbies like me check http://www.raapie.nl/linux/

typing "lspci -v > pcifile" will make a file named pcifile.
You can check it by typing "cat pcifile"

I will try later.

probably my soundcard, RME Hammerfall, is not supported. I runned sndconfig from the Rool shell. It did show me a message 'A PCI sound card was found...' but the another dialog showing 'The RME Hammerfall DSP is not supported'.

So I think it's not supported, right?
