Sound problem

[david walcroft]

I cannot get my Sonicvibes card to work in FC7,I think it has something 
to do
with my modprobe.conf,does anyone know what lines should be installed.

Thanks   david

Knowing what lines to put in mopdprobe.conf is not as important as
knowing what sound module to load. If you load the sound module in
rc.local for example, sound would work.

modprobe snd-sonicvibes "

Hi David. You appear to have two soundcards showing on the lsmod list. A 
snd-intel8x0 (presumably the onboard card) , and snd-sonicvibes (your Pine 
pci card).

Could you post the output of your current /etc/modprobe.conf, and also the 
output from.
cat /proc/asound/cards
and
/sbin/lspci -v   (just the parts for the soundcards)

I think I'd remove the 2 lines you have in rc.local for the moment, reboot, 
and see if the card using sonicvibes shows up in cat /proc/asound/cards, and 
in /sbin/lsmod | grep snd.

cat /proc/asound/cards may be showing the 2 cards, but not with the sonicvibes 
one as card0.  You can change the order the cards are loaded 
in /etc/modprobe.conf. With something like.

alias snd-card-0 snd-sonicvibes
options snd-sonicvibes index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 index=1

But post the requested output first, which may give us an idea of what's what.

All the best.

Nigel.

lspci is a command. Used with less it should be:
lspci -v |less

Hi David. Your modprobe.conf needs a bit of attention as above.

I don't think the "remove" and "install" lines are needed any more with Fedora 
7, at least on my Fedora 7 they don't exist. On earlier versions of FC they 
do. Anyway. Leave the remove, and install lines as they are at the moment. 
They are both commented out with a # at the start of the lines, so will be 
ignored. Leave the remove line for the sonicvibes as it is. It's uncommented, 
but that should be ok.

Make the changes to /etc/modprobe.conf as root in a text editor, save the 
changes, and reboot the machine.

cat /proc/asound/cards should now show both cards. The sonicvibes as card0, 
and the intel one as card1.

Open alsamixer on the CLI (Konsole) as user, and check the mixer settings, 
unmuting, pushing up sliders as necessary, see if you can get some sound out 
of the card.

To access alsamixer for the intel card, start alsamixer as.
alsamixer -c 1

Now you may have to remove or rename /etc/alsa/asound.state, which is the file 
where the mixer settings are saved to. When you reboot it will be recreated. 
Try a reboot first though, without touching this file.

You can save, and restore your mixer settings to this file with the following 
commands run as root.
/usr/sbin/alsactl store
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore

See how you get on, and post back please.

All the best.

Nigel.

I have done the items you suggested but with no luck,I suppose the
possibility is that my sound card is faulty....

Ok David. Don't give up on the sonicvibes card just yet.

As you've now made the changes to /etc/modprobe.conf. please post your 
current /etc/modprobe.conf, also the output of cat /proc/asound/cards, which 
should now show 2 cards, the sonicvibes one as card0, and the intel one as 
card1.

What did you get from running alsamixer on the CLI (konsole)? Did you get 
mixer settings for the sonicvibes card?

And starting alsamixer as "alsamixer -c 1" (without the quotes), did you get 
mixer settings for the intel card?

What music app are you using to test your soundcard?

Running speaker-test should produce some pink noise out of your speakers, as 
long as the speakers are connected to the soundcard. To cancel the 
speaker-test use ctrl + c.

I've also posted to the alsa-user list to see if there are any known problems 
with snd-sonicvibes driver, and also did a bit of googling. the card looks 
like it should work OOTB.

It's annoying not to have sounds. My audigy2 soundblaster works ok, and on the 
other machine the ensoniq card also works, but it's frustrating when you 
can't get your card to produce sounds.

Nigel.

What do mean by running Alsamixer,allsliders are set to high.

Well I finally have sound,I pulled the Sonics card out of my box and set up
the onboard AC-97, so it would seem the Sonic card was the likely culprit.
