PCI Yamaha724 D L not workingForum: Multimedia Topic: PCI Yamaha724 D L not working started by: vincent Posted by vincent on June 05 2004,13:16
Hi!just installed DSL, when it started PCI Yamaha724 D L sound card was detected and in function,once entered GUI no sound at all,I went to control panel and I was told this kind of Yamaha724 won't supported............. no sound for music CD. searching through google,It should work with Yamaha724 driver ,but in fact it doesn't... maybe it need more exotic setting under control centre, or maybe even change CHIP ID,etc.....? but how to achieve it? Anybody could help me out on the issue? Best Regards! Vincent Posted by ripcrd6 on June 08 2004,20:05
Are you saying that it worked temporarily from the command line, but stopped when the GUI is used? If so, you may need to change permissions to /dev/dsp so that regular users can use that device. You may also have to un-mute the device. A lot of xinit scripts mute the volume or line-in for some strange reason. I have run into a ton of distros that have done this and then they all have to have info in the FAQ for users to enable sound. Why not just set it to a mid to low volume rather than mute?Another thing you could try is to run the soundcard config from the new control panel in DSL 0.63 on up. Let the system try to auto-detect your card. Note: this can lock up your computer, but it's a LiveCD, so what the hell. Give it a try. More complex methods to find out if the sound is detected at boot and working is to open a root xterm and run lsmod (list loaded kernel modules), and lspci (list the identified PCI devices on this system). Running dmsg from the commandline will show you any boot time errors. Good Luck, hope this helped. Posted by vincent on June 14 2004,16:21
Hi!THKs! Just switch PNP/pci config. to default under BIOS, for this inter 430TX MB, installed with latest DSL0.7.1,PCI Yamaha724 D L sound cardis now in full function flawlessly,another rtl 8139d ethernet pci card works in function as well...I guess taht DSL may not be so capable in handling IRQs' arragment for some hardwares,similar to i430tx Mb whose BIOS is in IC chip, not easily to update BIOS unless switch IC chip ( with updted BIOS)or beam under special ultra-violet facilites to erase old bios and write updated BIOS version into chip. my DSL 0.7.1 experience is not that dissappointing, the speed of initiation process seemed to ok, but X desktop's a bit ugly, I won't see a full spectrum of color in display( perhaps due to my Permedia 2v PCI vedio card, which might not be detected correctly and not in function, thus DSL can display 8 bit color),when playing those mp3 radio PC could suddenly go into dummy , also my modem( diap-up phone ) intel536ep won't be detected and work at all...... any way to fix it up?
