Sound card On board of i810

This is a peculiar Problem. In insatlled RedHat Linux 7.2 and it detected my Soundcard onboard this is CMI8738. It shows it in list and also plays Sound. The problem Is I can't hear that sound. I checked my hardware It is ok Itried it many times and tried diffgrent sound systems from headphone to speakers, but all in vain. I can't hear sound
Plz help me

Open some mixer program (if you use KDE or GNOME, you should have one in the menu) and check the volume settings.

Btw, I don't quite understand you poll ... where's the "yes, definitely" option? Wtf is the RedHat Linix Bible supposed to be? Anyway, I like SuSE's manuals best

Buddy thanx a lot 4 help.
I did this thing and I will try it again.

I will answer u within an hour or so

I Have found somehtings very strange. M using A i810 system with 15 Gig HDD and 64 MB RAM and PIII cpu. My sys have 3 sound i/o audio pins.
o o o Dpin connecter for midi
Line In Mic Line out
On "Line out" sound is mono only i.e. left side and no right side. I found this problem only now when I used head phone. I normally use an 80 Watt Amp and this amp is capable of converting mono to stereo so I never found this problem. This problem is in both Win98SE and Linux. Also When I select 4spkr system from mixer, inwin98se, the "Line in" pin starts giving sound and "Line in" function is disabled. On this pin sound is stereo. In Linux the mixer don't show any thing like 4 spkr system. It just shows a band of vol controls for mic and other things.

What can be the problem.

The 4-speakers-option is available in Linux, too.

Run
If that works (4 ch. sound), look into your /etc/conf.modules for a line likeNearby should be the four_ch setting ... set it to 1 in the file and save. Now this will be enabled at boot.

And read the readme for info.

That didn't work out
I think The folder in ,lin rh 7.2 , which holds drivers is some where else
I am a novice to linux
So Don't get me wrong
(I have also Got GEEK ID;-)

Can you say what you actually did that didn't work and how it didn't? It's a bit hard to read your thoughts and I don't have the time to hack into your box to do it myself

Btw, what I suggested does not depend in any way on your drivers' actual location.

Geek code: yeah! They're kewl.

I did the same way u mentioned. But couldn't find /etc/conf.modules file.
Buddy I am from M$win background so can u plz mail me a disciptive text. It will b very kind of ya to do this

Hmmm ... afaik the file exists in RedHat ... were you logged in as root? How did you search for it?

And, btw, could you get 4-ch. sound to work with the rmmod/insmod commands? Cuz otherwise there's no point in changing stuff in conf.modules.

Pal I failed. and i failed badly

Hmmm ... afaik the file exists in RedHat ... were you logged in as root? How did you search for it?

OK m a foool but not so that I log in other user try to immitate as admin. I logged in as root and tried to find it.
But of no use


get 4-ch. sound to work with the rmmod/insmod commands

I tried both but got no response :-(
I think I need some pills to get some relief. Real plz help me

Sorry, I give up for now.

I don't think any one will answer me. I was sure I will install my Sound card. But 3 dyas and Now I give up. My system is like the guy Kumar. i810 chipset and a I think a CMI chip. OK Now What the code below means
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------rmmod cmpci
insmod cmpci four_ch=1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toooooo.........n much thanx in advance even if you don't help me.
(Where n is the number you wish)

About the poll - how is it related to your topic? Also, as said, not all answer categories are represented.

Guys, when making a poll, think logically, damnit! Nearly all the user-posted polls I see on message boards are illogical and thus do not tell anything and I don't like that.

This post is dead. Oh Lord of Geeeks where are you. Nobody came and helped me. I am using my ye old techniue of listing to 2 channels and when I boot into WinBlows I have to put my Audio lead to 4 ch.
This is too &%^&!$%!^%$&^&($%^&@

Help me plz

Unload kernel module cmpci; load kernel module cmpci with option four_ch set to 1.

Yes. No. Be sure to log on as root. And it didn't work for kumar, so it won't necessarily work for you. What distro are you using, by the way?

Self-confidence taken to the extreme. The extreme minimum, to be precise. This is Linux, not Windoze. If you break it, you'll learn. If you never even touch it, you won't know.
