Setting up sound seems to be a major preoccupation with Linux newbees like myself. I recently installed Mandrake 8.2. After the install I decided to play CD using DVD movies using Xine In my first attempt there were no sound from either so I was advised of two possible solution. SOLUTION 1 I was advised to try the following aumix kmix and determine whether the audio output is set to 0 (ZERO) and adjust it accordingly. SOLUTION 2 This solution located at: Mandrake Forum "Tour-de sound Part 1 SiS Chipsets and Audio CDs" http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2050&lang=en Basically this posting recognized the fact that 8.2 users having SiS 630,730, and 7735 Chipsets were unable to configure their onboard sound. The author indicated that this had to be configured using snconfig.. The author warned that snconfig produced 'FALSE" information that these chipsets were unsupported. In my case when I ran snconfig .. I got the same message that said my ??? chipset was unsupported. The fix require you to look at your /etc/modules.conf and see what driver set was being used. my /etc/modules.conf was as follows .. alias usb-interface usb-hci alias sound-slot-) snd-card-trident above snd-card-trident snd-pcm.oss probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias eth0 sis900 It appears that the Trident driver set was being used. his suggestion will involve commenting out the second and third line above and replacing it with alias sound I810_audio as root user type modprobe i810_audio add line "i810-audio" to the /etc/modules (so it can start up automatically) I went for SOLUTION 1 - Using aumix and Kmix. I was able to play my Music CD using CD Player from the Kdesktop -- with great sounds I then proceeded to play a DVD movie using Xine. I got flawless video, but was unable to get any sound. A follow-up suggestion I got was.. Try xine -A oss and then play a dvd After I ran this command as root, and click on the CDA button (CD Audio) in Xine to play a music CD. I get the following error message.. xine engine error There is no available input plugin available to handle "xine-ui version 0.9.8" The program then refuses to run. Here is some screen output I got in the terminal after Xine refused to run when I click on the CDA button. ***************************** $ xine This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.8 (c) 2000, 2001 by G.

[OUCH!!] You're running me with root permissions? You should definitely run xine as normal user, not root. Running it as root will expose you to some severe security issues. This script should run as the same user that you would use to run xine. If you run me as root (as you currently are), I cannot check if your real-life user has sufficient permissions... Unless you want to recheck something with root permissions, you should abort me now (press Ctrl-C) and run me from your usual account. press <enter> to continue... [ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests [ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted. [ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.4.18-6mdk) [ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support [ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set. [ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine [ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH [ hint ] No xine-config found. Assuming xine from RPMs The xine-config script can be used to deternime some file locations used by xine-lib, but you don't have such a script on your system. However, it looks like you installed xine from the RedHat packages. So I'll just guess that you are using the standard locations. If you want me to be sure about those file locations, you can install the 'xine-lib-devel' package (or 'xine-devel', depend on what packages you're using, which contains xine-config. However, this package is not really needed to run xine... press <enter> to continue... [OUCH!!] no xine-config on this machine. This means that xine-lib is either not installed or it is installed in a very unusual place. So you should probably install xine-lib before running xine-check... press <enter> to continue... [ good ] plugin directory /usr/lib/xine/plugins exists. [ good ] found input plugins [ good ] found demux plugins [ good ] found decoder plugins [ good ] found video_out plugins [ good ] found audio_out plugins [ good ] skin directory /usr/share/xine exists. [OUCH!!] xine logo not found in /usr/share/xine. You should probably (re)install xine-ui, as it won't run without logo. press <enter> to continue... [OUCH!!] There are no skins. Looks like the skins haven't been installd in /usr/share/xine. You should reinstall xine-ui, as it won't run without any skins... press <enter> to continue... [ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/cdroms/../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd [ good ] /dev/dvd points to /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd [ hint ] Your DVD drive seems not to be attached via ATAPI. This might be due to the use of an ide-scsi emulation. If you really have a SCSI DVD drive, your SCSI controller is likely to do perfect DMA, so there's no reason to worry about this. However, if you're using ide-scsi, there is a chance that DMA is disabled for the DVD drive. Moreover, I don't know how to enable DMA in that case, so you probably have to live with some performance loss. (FIXME: check for /proc/ide, provide solution) press <enter> to continue... [ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2 [ good ] your Xv extension supports YUV overlays (improves MPEG performance) [ good ] your Xv extension supports packed YUV overlays [ good ] Xv ports: YUY2 YV12 [root@ASWAD aswad]# *************************************** Note: Music CDs still play with clear sound using the CDPlayer GUI in the KDE desktop. I am still able to play the DVD Movies, flawless video but still there is no sound. Should I try SOLUTION 2. OR is there a solution available after reviewing the output above. It's almost two weeks at this sound problem. My wife is beginning to think I lurk/live in the basement :-).. All the help will be appreciated. If any solution involves installation of additional components etc. As a newbie I will appreciate Step By Step Instructions.
