KDE sound
Ok Here is a good one for some one who knows. I use Mandrake 8.0 , I config my sound card in sndconfig. its a sound blaster live. Ok now I could play the sound of the test wave and test midi in sndconfig. But when in a GUI like KDE or Gome I have no sound for the desk top or CD player ....but I have sound in 3 of the games Maelstorm, Astroids, and one other. Yes I turn off sound server in KDE to config sound card then turn it back on after config. Try the same in Gome. And yes I was in su when I config.
OK you did not pre-respond to the other dum question
Are you using alsa drivers and if so did you turn up the volume.....
sound in KDE
oh yes forgot the easy stuff lol. Yes sound all the way up and using alsa drivers. But I did find on KDE site that Mandrake 8.0 has a software bug in it and this is not a KDE issue. It seems that this is not an issue with 8.1 and up. So I took the easy way out and upgrade to Mandrake 9.1. Now have sound and I thank you all for what help you gave. :lol:
