Salix64 No Sound (M-Audio Revolution 5.1)

[Vitaliy]

I have no sound on Salix64.
My sound card is M-Audio Revolution 5.1.
When I open exaile to play a sound file it says "could not initialize supporting library" or "device is not open for playback"

[thenktor]

Please post the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

lsmod  | grep snd

Code: Select all

lspci

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards

And please try if "alsamixer" starts and shows some channels.

OK, modules are loaded and sound card should work. So what could we do? At first I'd disable the crappy onboard sound card in the bios. Then please try to play some files with mpg321 or ogg123.

Install the gnome-media package, run gstreamer-properties, select your soundcard as the default output device and try again.

OK, I installed gnome-media package and selected ALSA and ICE1724 as the default utput device.
When I click "Test" in Multimedia System Selector, sound card works (it beeps), but if I open Exaile or any other media player and try to play file it does not.

[thenktor]

Install the gnome-media package, run gstreamer-properties, select your soundcard as the default output device and try again.

To be honest: There are better ways to define the default soundcard, that work for everything (not only gstreamer based soft like exaile). But you really should try to deactivate the onboard crap soundcard in bios. Sorry, but I had some beers
