 |
|
Hi , I have a Creative Audigy Sound card. I don't know but I can't make it work. Tried to hear some musics with XMMS, but a warning message says :
| Code: |
Couldn't open audio
Please check that:
Your soundcard is configured
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard |
You see.. i don't really know how to check all those things. So if someone could help me. |

ok
first you need to have a module for the card
the module is emu10k1
if youre using a 2.4 kernel it should be in the menuconfig under sound card
recompile your kernel with it , if you compile it built'in in the kernel it should auto detect it . and should be able to use it
if you have it as a module you need to load the mocule using
modprobe emu10k1 and then use the xmms
to get the external module use
emerge emu10k1
post your log so i can check if it is loading it or not |

it depens if you are using alsa or oss.
if you want to use alsa
install the alsa packages (utils and drivers)
run (as root)
then u have to unmute the sound run:
pump up the volume.
in xmms under options/preferences u can choose which output plugin you want
to use. choose alsa, if you are using alsa |
