|It sounds like you just don't have sound. I confirmed that if the jack is pulled out of the Epox 8KHA+ 'speaker' jack in the manual's photo, and stuck into a radio, there is sound.
|First make sure you're in the audio group ("<become_root> addgroup dan |audio" - then log out and back in as "dan" -- type "groups" to verify |you're in the audio group). or even as root, no sound. |Second, kill X (for now), and make sure you don't have any sound daemons |(esd, artsd) running. I thought init 3 would kill x. well, i had to do init 1. then i did the tests as root. same deal. Anyways, a pstree shows no sound related things running. i use icewm BTW. |Use "splay <some_MP3_file" to play an MP3. If you don't hear anything, |fire up "aumix"; you'll see two columns. The left-hand side is the |volume level for the different input/output devices; bring them all up |to 75% or better with the arrow keys. Then tab over to the second column |and hit the 5 on the numeric keypad to center the balance on each |device. You should now be hearing your MP3. i even used mpg321... all act nice but no sound. looking in syslog, kernel: Via 686a audio driver 1.9.1 ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P) via82cxxx: board #1 at 0xE400, IRQ 12 via82cxxx: timeout while reading AC97 codec (0x9A0000) via82cxxx: timeout while reading AC97 codec (0x9A0000) via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -512 i will now get the via-audio-diag from the sourceforge's via82cxxx package... -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
