trying to get some sound working

ssl6 · 2007-09-07 08:50:42

so i fixed my internet issue at home on my box running arch linux. ended up putting dd-wrt firmware on my router, so now i can forward the gateway address from the router to my pc running ICS sharing my dialup.....oh yeah, its high tech

so anyway, now i've got that working properly, i'd kind of like to get my sound card working on this box. its got a creative ensoniq in it. i have no idea what to do

after that, my next project in all my newbness is going to be figuring out how to install unsupported packages from the repo

Your sound card should work without any problems.

Just run alsaconf as root and then setup volumes in alsamixer. To save mixer settings use: alsactl store.

well, i ran alsaconf, it seemed to find my card, but still no sound.....any ideas?

Ad your username in audio group:
gpasswd -a USERNAME audio

i know i'm gonna get slapped for saying so........but im still using the root account

did you actually unmute (press M) the master / pcm channel with alsamixer?

ssl6 · 2007-09-08 06:26:15

uhh. my bad, just got home, and yeah, it works now. thanks

lol, hows this for a sig?

and one more quick question, as far as sound....how could i get a volume icon on my system tray in kde?

sinister99 · 2007-09-08 22:03:29

use kmix... it is in the kdemultimedia package

ssl6 · 2007-09-09 05:05:57

oh sh....thats what i was lookin for, i removed kdemultimedia....i didn't want most of the apps in it. any other program i acn get that i can add to my taskbar for volume control?

Eliteforce · 2007-09-09 15:10:46

dunno if it's possible, but maybe you can compile kmix without the rest of kdemultimedia

ssl6 · 2007-09-09 20:32:04

i just installed kdemultimedia again, at least it didn't have to re-download the package again since it was already on the drive and im on dialup

i just deteted the icons in the kmenu that i didn't want, its good enough
