Soundproblem

johanlich

I have just installed Redhat 7. 3 (I have also windows2000 installed on the computer) and the sound won't work. When I run sndconfig the soundcard is found, but when I try to use it I just get error messages.

Soundblaster audigy

OK, I've checked a few webpages on the internet and have found out that linux has support for the Soundblaster Audigy sound card. . . . I am just wandering if that means it shall have support for Soundblaster Audigy Platinum eX ? Thanks.

Problem with DMA/RH8/Custom Kernel

ceinsero

First, excuse me for my bad english. Second, I've RH 8 with custom kernel (re-compile) and I add the line options ide-cd dma=1 in modules. conf When I start with default kernel, I can put on CDROM's DMA, but when I start with custom kernel, I can't put on this option.

Cannot enable it, hence my DVD playback is choppy (audio/video stalls every 2-3 sec). When i run hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd as root, I get: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted Running RH8 with default kernel.

Can't get USB SanDisk reader to work in RedHat 8

clutch

For some reason, all mount /dev/flash does is simply stall out the command prompt, and I just get ignored when using the disk management util in KDE or right clicking on the desktop and selecting to mount the flash drive.

USB boot question

clutch

I managed to get Debian installed on a workstation at home, but my USB mouse doesn't work unless I run modprobe hid and then modprobe mousedev then it works fine. So, how do I get it to do this auto-magically at boot time by itself? I am running Woody 2.

hard drive compatability

sgrams

would anyone have knowledge of older hard drives not working with Linux? I have a Maxtor 8. 4 g drive dated 1998 and Mandrake 8. 2 will not load onto it, setup freezes. I cannot find anything on Maxtors site about issues with Linux.

HPT372 Boot Time Support

Am I to assume that 2. 4. 19 should be the first to properly support boot-time installation using RAID on this ATA-RAID controller?.

Gnometoaster doesn't see my Plextor burner

clutch

Does anyone have any suggestions for a cd burner app that can use my Plextor 40x24x40 burner? When I open the app, there are no recorders listed to select from, so I am assuming that it doesn't see it properly.

USB Activity Locks Mandrake 9 on SMP

NTGEEK

I first tried to solve this by recompiling kernel and hardcoding USB support. This completely broke USB. Then I did what I should have done all along, I knew from looking in the kernel there were two modules, one the standard and the other JE which seems unpreferred for some reason.

How's Santa Cruz support going?

franzj

A major deterrant for me has been lack of full support for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (Crystal 4630) sound card, mainly 4/6-speaker playback. Is the support already available, and if so in what Linuxes? Francis.
