Hi, gentoo, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm trying to get sound to sound on my new Gentoo box, following the |
4 |
"Gentoo Linux ALSA Guide". Everything seems to be working fine, except |
5 |
no sound is coming out of my loudspeakers. |
6 |
|
7 |
I've checked the obvious things: the speakers are plugged in, switched |
8 |
on and connected to the appropriate socket on my motherboard (the light |
9 |
green one). |
10 |
|
11 |
I have drivers for my motherboard's sound chips compiled into my kernel, |
12 |
and they are correctly identified by alsamixer. With alsamixer I've |
13 |
unmuted various things and turned up the volume. |
14 |
|
15 |
madplay appears to play an mp3 file I have. Just that no actual sound |
16 |
comes out. |
17 |
|
18 |
One other strange thing: the titles under the "volume bars" in alsamixer |
19 |
are very different from the ones in the document: Instead of "Master / |
20 |
Headphone / Tone / Bass / Treble / 3D Contr / PCM", I've got " Master / |
21 |
Headphon / Front / Front Mi / Surround / Center / LFE / Side / Line / |
22 |
Mic / Mic Boos / S/PDIF / S/PDIF D / Beep". Why is this? In |
23 |
particular, I'm missing the "PCM" volume bar which the documentation |
24 |
says is so important to unmute. |
25 |
|
26 |
What am I missing here? |
27 |
|
28 |
Thanks in advance! |
