FC2 sblive 5.1 problem

[Tashiro]

Hey fellows,

My sblive 5.1 was no problem in FC1 but with a fresh install with FC2 I am confused.

The autodetection of my card was no problem,
vendor=Creative Labs
model=SB Live! EMU10K1
modele= snd-emu10k1

When i played with the alsamixer settings (all unmuted and volume 100%) i get .wav sound only on the 2 rear speakers. If i reverse the jacks orange and green (front and back), all 4 speakers play .wav sounds!!!! The center speaker remains awful quiet, the subwoofer does make some noise. Cdplayer plays my cd's but with no sound. If i logon as root i get no sound at all.

Did i do something wrong again??
If you have a suggestion, i would really like to hear it.

thanks Tashiro

[Picomp314]

what are you using to play the sounds ??

also, include the output of lsmod

[Tashiro]

Hey Picomp314,

I just use:

redhat icon > preferences > sound > sound events

For the output of "lsmod" i need some explaining cause i tried to execute it, didn't work. And tried to open it in a text editor, didn't work either.

If i browse with Nautilus to /sbin, lsmod = 197,5 KB. When I "seach for files" lsmod = 6 bytes in the same path (/sbin). Though with the "seach for files" the type explains that lsmod = link to application/ x-executable. Why is this different??

The problem of no sound in root is solved by the way, not completly restored of course same problems with the user account.

So what do i do now??

thank you for your efforts Tashiro

[Picomp314]

run
/sbin/lsmod

Also try the soundcard detection util in System Settings -> Soundcard Detection

Call me a moran, Picomp314 but i dubbeclicked it, did the "run application" > /sbin/lsmod. But nothing happened!!!! Even if I logon as root.

System Settings -> Soundcard Detection
I get this:

vendor=Creative Labs
model=SB Live! EMU10K1
modele= snd-emu10k1

I also hear sounds, first the rear right, second rear left, third both and the subwoofer.

But no cdplayer sounds so far!!!!

suggestions??? Tashiro

[Tashiro]

An insignificate addon:

When i play my WU-TANG cd's i hear no sounds, but that's nothing new. but the previous track button is unavailble even when the cdplayer runs track 8 for example.

Don't know what is going on or how to proceed, help anyone???

Hey here I am again,

This is what my /etc/modprobe.conf looks like. I have change alias snd-card-0 to 1, no difference!

alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

If i put the "In-gain" in the volume control all the way up I hear a high ringing tone, on 90% i don't but can listen to cd's. But the volume of the cd playback is about 20% of the volume of the .wav files i can play in a normal way.

When my system boots i get after GRUB:

AGPGART:detected an intel i815 chipset, but coundn't find the secondary device.

Has this got anything to do with my sound problems??

Yes finally I have found it! Why can't I get this with the "su" command?? Isn't that the same as root??

What do I have to do now for my sound ??
May be someone with the same soundcard (sblive 5.1) can display his or hers, so I can compare??

Help will be very much appreciated!

I also have the sblive card, the relevant part of my modprobe.conf looks like this:
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1


try editing yours and reboot
and see if it works

Hey Picomp314,

My modprobe.conf now looks like this:

alias eth0 3c59x
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

But I still have the same problems. The only thing that has change is that the "in-gain" volume setting at the volume control put at 10% I get a steady distortion with the cd playback sound on the background. If I put it about 60% or higher the distortion goes with interrupts and I can't hear the cd playback anymore!

I will look for more configuration files, does the info on my lsmod file do any good Picomp314??

Thanks for your file output, too bad it didn't work.

Hey,

Just to keep you all out there updated.

I did a clean install with FC2(again), didn't work of course. So I will install FC1 (again) where the soundcard did work. Maybe I can do something with those working .conf files of FC1 and use them in FC2.

If this is a bad idea, correct me!!! Suggestions are welcome too, cause I really miss my WU-TANG cd's.

Getting very desperate, Tashiro

[Tashiro]

Yo,

It is working with the kernel 2.6.6-1.435, had to play with some sound settings.

Fully enjoying my WU-TANG cd's (WU-TANG ARE COMING TO AMSTERDAM ON JULY 7TH),
Yes.

Thanks to everybody for your in put, still wondering though why it works almost without hesitation with the new kernel??

Hi everyone
Maybe someone wrote it before but instead of doing all this file changing stuff try to open aRTs
activate advanced and switch off IEC958 Optical Raw output
This worked for me

My digital jack works now

I have Audigy 2 ZS KDE 3.2.2 :o
