Can't Open Alsamixer
Posted: Sun 10 Jan 2010, 16:14
m trying to use the headphone jack in my CPU.
Based on the specs sheet here:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/S ... _placement
my computer would have the ADI SoundMAX 2.0 Integrated Audio Driver (ADI 1885 chip set) if my computer had built in sound, which it does not.
I started configuring with ALSA and it says I can choose from 4 soundcards:
ens1371 1274:1371 (rev 09)
legacy Probe: legacy ISA (non-PNP chips)
usb-audio Override: USB Sound Device
aoa Override: Apple Onboard Audio
I configured with each one but except the legacy probe (because it may make my machine unstable) but I couldn't hear the sample sound. I rebooted and still didn't have any sound.
I wa then told that I needed to open up Alsamixer and set it to headphones. I click Alsamixer in the Menu but a white box popped up for about .5 sec and then disappeared???? Do I need to uninstall Alsamixer and reinstall it?
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
