Another question (Sound Card)...

[GameGURU]

Ok, I now have pretty much everything working in Slack the way I want it to. The only thing is...

I cannot listen to my music.

My sound card (see sig below) is detected by Slack, and it shows up as the correct card.

I have tried to make it work by going into sound system in the control panel but it still doesnt work.

How can I get this thing running?

Run alsaconf as root, and if you're using KDE, try turning off Arts.

How do I turn off arts?

 

[macdude425]

Go to the KDE Control Center, select Sound & Multimedia, then Sound System. Look for a checkbox by "Enable the Sound System" and uncheck it.

Ok, it still is not working.

I just had a similar problem with Fedora Core 4 and my Audigy 2 ZS. The card was detected, I just went to alsamixer and found that the analog audio was muted. I unmuted and it works. To mute/unmute the selected channel, press M.

 

[GameGURU]

Ok, I will try that.

run alsamixer right after running alsaconfigure, then unmute whats needed

with newer sounds cards like that one sometimes its necessary to goto the makers website or update alsa

alsamixer says that my soundcard is some integrated sigmatel thing...

 

[horndude]

well if alsa sees it, it should work
