<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>We are trying to complete the installation
of the Planet packages on an Athlon +1800 pc, Soltek
motherboard, but for some reason - probably a silly one, since we are new to
Linux - we canīt get any sound output.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>We have followed the installation instructions on the
Planet homepage textually:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- Alsaconf finds the onboard soundcard, a VIA8233
without any trouble, and the /etc/modules.conf does not need any
re-configuration, so it seems, anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- No oss free drivers were installed during the Redhat
7.3 installation process, so apparently there is no need for unloading
any oss free driver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- alsasound is added to /sbin/chkconfig and the alsa
driver starts at boot up without any problems</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- The alsamixer is unmuted, volume is raised and the
settings are saved using alsactl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>- We have checked the output using aplay to play a .wav
file. Everything seems to work fine except that there is no audible sound
output ..!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Itīs not a matter of cable connection since sound
output works fine in Windows XP, which is installed on another partition of the
HD.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>We welcome any suggestions that will get us a bit
further. Thank you.</FONT></DIV>
