boy_scout : 24/12/01 03:11 PM : Incident created -   I've installed Mandrake 8.0 on my PC, it's i586 arch and kernel is 2.4.3-20mdk I have a sound card that couldn't be installed or configured under mandrake and is located in Other Devices in the setup utility (graphical interface, in KDE). Info that is written when I click on the sound card under Other Devices is: Vendor: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] Model: M7101 PMU Kernel Module: unknown BUS type: PCI Does anyone know where to find the drivers in rpm I can install, or some alternative help you can give me? Did anyone had similar or the same experience? Thanx.
Linegod_7611 : 24/12/01 09:57 PM : Reply received -   Try running 'sndconfig' from a console, as root, and see if it can detect your card.
boy_scout : 25/12/01 02:11 PM : More info provided -   Thanx, I have, and the sndconfig utility detects my card, but when it tries to play a sample sound on it to see is it configured correctly, the program just hangs. [root@mybox /root]# sndconfig (detected my card, exited the detection program and when tried to play a sample sound it just hang and didn't return the new prompt, until braked by ctrl-c). Any new ideas?
boy_scout : 25/12/01 09:57 PM : More info provided -   The soundcard is still under 'other devices', but now it works. How I don't know, I just did a echo "beep" > /dev/audio0 and it sounded like something. How and why does it work now I don't know, but thanx for your help anyway. Maybe it's because of Christmas. Well, Merry Christmas.
