Copy sound settings from SuSe Linux?

tafsen · 2006-12-15 15:03:30

Is there a way I can copy the sound settings from SuSe Linux? Because the sound worked perfetct out-of-the-box with SuSe, but suse is to slow for me. And I can't live without pacman (L)

why not just set it up here
it can be as simple as

alsaconf

and confirm a few things...

I heard alsaconf would only be good for some stoneaged ISA cards and alsoconf entries in modprobe.conf tend to interfere with udev leading to no sound at all.

Alsaconf has always worked for me unless i did something stupid like disable the on board in the bios.

It's not that the sound doesn't work, but it isn't flawless.

I.e. it pauses when I do thing on my computer that requiers cpu, like minimizing and maximizing.

that sounds like a sound server issue...
i have the same problem if i tell gaim to use alsaplay or another sound player to output sound...
what's ur sound server? [esd,alsa]
maybe u could try changing it....

I think I use ALSA, at least that's what Im suppose to use

And that's what it says in controll-center

noriko · 2006-12-17 16:20:11

oops, i originally meant 'arts' not alsa,as alsa is the sound backend.. but anyway...
the only thing i can recomend is changing it to artsd,maybe ... i dunno ... i'm a noob, just throwing ideas out there x)

You probably have the same kind of problems many of us have when using arts under KDE.

Here's what i 've done :

1 - Goto Control center > Sound & Multimedia > sound system

DESELECT "enable the sound system"

This will get rid of arts and enable programs to use alsa directly , but has the disadvantage you will get no more system sounds from kde.

2 - pacman -S sox

3 - Goto Control center > Sound & Multimedia > system notifications > player settings

select 'use an external player' and type in play as command.
