Hi albrtijoYour output above shows all should be okay . . . Can you install "aumix" and after that give me the output of:

[Bruno]

Your aumix output looks a bit funny too . . . . When you go into the MCC --> Hardware -- soundcard, are there any alternative drivers listed ? Bruno

[Bruno]

Hi AlbrtijoLet us try 2 things:First add the next two lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf:

blacklist audioblacklist snd-usb-audio

And reboot to see if it makes any change in your sound.If that does not help please read and execute: SoundCheck Script and show us the results. Bruno

Bruno, the two blacklists brought no sound -- something else, every time I turn on the computer, the Kmix volume is set to 0.This is the results of an earlier running of soundchk.sh.

Your permissions and ownerships look okay . . . . . but I see something unusual in /etc/modprobe.conf:

remove unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove unknowninstall unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install unknown

I wonder how that came in there . . . . . those lines are typical for sound-modules . . . but "unknown" is not the name of an existing soundcard driver.Before we go fro drastic measures . . . . Can you please tell me: when you finished the install of 2006 was there maybe no soundcard configured at all in the MCC ?? Or do you have an idea yourself how the "unknown" module would have slipped in there ? Bruno

Why don't you go to Add Software and look for a kernel that does not have smp in the name? Perhaps a 2.6.14mdk build? I am just guessing there is one with that number there.

Hi AlbrtijoJust go in the MCC and look for the regular 2.6.12-12mdk kernel . . . . it will be there . . .just install it and it will automatically adapt your bootloader ( Lilo ) . . . . chances are that kernel will like your soundcard better. Bruno

[striker]

Yep, me thinks the same. But the question arises why on earth did the installer choose to install that smp kernel????? I would love to know the answer, but only the installer knows.Good luck albrtijo and keep us posted.

Bruno, Julia and striker:uname -r says I have 2.6.12mdk installed But the kmix icon in the sysbar still has the red ball with the white X. Then I find kmix is not installed. (How did that happen?) I went to MCC to install kmix and was dragged through a bunch of screens listing files needing install and more screens of files needing removal.When I went the what-the-**** route, I wound up with 100 files needing install and I quit before finding how many needing uninstall.What's my move, please? And how did I wind up with that 2.6.12-12mdksmp (for simple-minded maybe)?and, striker, the installer pleads innocent.I'll be ******.albrtijo Edited March 21, 2006 by albrtijo

[BarryB]

Is it by chance a HT (Hyper Threading) P4, that might explain the smp kernel.

[Bruno]

Sure you have the 2.6.12mdk . . . . but there are several colors of the 2.6.12mdk, in your case it is the 2.6.12-12mdksmp, and you want the one without the "smp" at the end.Now the Kmix . . . . . . this is very strange what you are describing . . . . what I would do is:

Yes, Barry, it's Pentium 4, Hyper Threading, but this is about the fourth install of this free2006 (I goof up a lot.) on thiis Sony desktop and the first time "smp" has shown up. As far as I know, for what that's worth.But now, on to Kmix.albrtijo

Sorry it was the other way around:

# urpmi --allow-nodeps kdemultimedia-kmix # urpmi --allow-nodeps libkdemultimedia1-kmix

If you get a question if it should continue without checking dependencies say Y . . .in this case you should not get the "One of the following packages is needed:" anymore. Bruno
