Sorry, I did search, so far can't make it work.-------------- Hi, I'm using DSL 1.5 frugal. So far I can't play .wav or ,mo3 files, or music CDs. Help, please. The speakers do make a sort of click upon loading DSL, when the Sondblaster 16 is detected. Here's part of menu.lst =========== default 0 timeout 5 title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot title DSL kernel /boot/linux24 fromhd=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 quiet base vga=normal noacpi noapm noscsi frugal dma home=hdb10 opt=hdb10 write initrd /boot/minirt24.gz Posted by sarah on Jan. 04 2006,10:24
Hey SheldonIsaac,Didn't know if you found your answer yet, but thought I'd suggest you try the alsadebs.dsl extension You might find more info on your card here: < ALSA page on the Creative soundcards > You need to add "alsa" to your boot line like:
After booting with the "alsa" option, go into the MyDSL panel follow the instructions as given in the MyDSL info file for alsadebs.dsl (which is in the system category) from the MyDSL panel. Please note: (for others searching that come across the thread) alsadebs is for ALSA supported soundcards using DSL version 0.8-1.5 ONLY If you later upgrade to (or if you are running) DSL 2+ you'll need the alsa.dsl package, which is in the multimedia category. It's probably a good idea to test the package on your system using a liveCD first if you are running a HD installation. Hope that helps.

> Hey SheldonIsaac,Hey, Sarah - thanks for help. > Didn't know if you found your answer yet Kind of. See below* > but thought I'd suggest you try the alsadebs.dsl extension So far I've not ventured into extensions. Am still using DSL 1.5. Mislaid the boot CD with 2.0 on it, accidentally wiped out the source files directory on my hard drive, have only dial-up, etec .sad story And don't know how to use quoting feature, if any, of this forum > Cheers and beers Same to you! And thanks again. Sheldon ========= * I looked at the BIOS bootup options under PCI/PNP, and changed one of the slots from what IRQ 5? to AUTO. XMMS now plays .wav files fine. |
