i just moved my computer down stairs every thing seemed to go well with the moving part, no hard blows were encountered. but, there were all kind of problems when i turned it on. previous to moving my computer was able to play sound. now, after the move, i am having sound issues.
at first when i started the computer, for reasons unknown, the kernel went in to panic. i had ran into this sometimes before using other flavours of linux. so i just turned the computer off and killed all the power it took a couple of tries but i finally got it to start up.
the BIOS was complaining about the cpu being unrecognized, so i went in and changed it to 300Mhz 'cause thats what it is. i had some minor other issues while doing this all of which i seemed to have fixed.
now, my question is, how can i check to see if the sound card is in fact being detected? a couple of times when i was able to start X i went in and tried to play some MP3's and i would either sound plugin not configured, or something is blocking it or nothing at all. i have seen that before with Red Hat. but, even when it did it with Red Hat i was able to get it to work by just clicking on the MP3 again.
does any one have any idea what trouble shooting i can do to get this back up and running? i tried two other sound cards and with no avail. i tried lsmod to see if there was a sound card there and the only thing that came close was:
Code Sample | soundcore 3428 4 [esssolo1] |
could the BIOS have something to do with this problem?
