 Sound not working with 2.6 I have Slack 10.1 installed with a 2.4 kernel bare.i of the CD, all works OK. I used Alsa to get the sound to work no problem. I have now install 10.2 on another partition using 2.6.13 kernel (test26.s) of the CD. I can't get the sound to work. I used alsaconf then alsamixer, & checked with kmix to make sure nothing was muted. The sound card is an onbourd VIA8235 chip. Can anybody tell me the changes from 2.4 to 2.6 that might have affected the sound. I have looked at google etc but can't see any answers, it seems the sound is configured but is silent. Does anybody know where I should be looking? Thanks Lezo      |

I have both 2.4.31 & 2.6.13 alsa-driver packages installed. Will uninstall 2.4.31 & see what happens. Lezo |

In fact, it's the only way you will have sound in both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (if you have lilo entries for both of course). Eric |

| Re: Sound not working with 2.6 I have found the problem but don't know how to fix it. I have a TV card attached & that is getting the sound, ie if I plug headphones in the TV card phone socket, I can hear what should come out of the speakers! So my TV card (bt878 chip) is being used instead of my VIA 8235 onboard card. How do I change this in alsa? Thanks Lezo |

If you dont need to use the soundcard features of your TV card the easiest way is probably to add snd-bt87x (or which driver the card might be using) to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

I had a similar problem recently. Doesn't "alsamixer -c <card number>" (0 or 1) allow you to unmute sound on each card separately? Andrew |
