Knoppix Startup Ogg Sounds
Knoppix works a treat but lack of sound is killing me (I'm trying to build a media PC!). I know the hardware works cause I got sounds under XP. I've tried most suggestions on these pages but nothing seems to work.
Minecraft Ogg Sounds
Knoppix 5.3.1 x as the. Edit ogg vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files. One of the oldest Linux distributions, not updated since 1995. I have discovered numerous choices beyond Ubuntu that are top quality Linux distributions. Here is a list of pros and cons, as I. Some Programs were tested for startup time. Can play Ogg Vorbis files.
I installed with the cheat codes knoppix26 pnpbios=off lang=us alsa wheelmouse, I also tried alsa=intel8x0, but still nothing. PS1 the modem also doesn't work if anyone has any ideas. PS2 I also posted this in the lounge area but I suspect that was the wrong place (sorry).

Did you do alsaconf? Regards EDIT: Just came across something that may be relevant. 'There's a small trick with the Slackware install I only figured out with some concerted googling. Hotplug automatically loads both the appropriate sound module (snd-atiixp) and another module (snd-atiixp-modem) that causes a conflict, leading to no sound. So disable the modem one in /etc/hotplug/blacklist'.
No luck, I put snd-atiixp-modem in the blacklist file but no change. I've also tried the following with no luck. # /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig Preparing modules for alsa. I noticed I get this at startup as root (I'm not very observant)!:- Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. And if I try to play anything # play startup.ogg playing startup.ogg sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device Preparing modules for alsa. Any ideas folks? Mike Robinson.
Ogg Sounds Downloads
Code: play /usr/share/sounds/startup.oggNow I have to work out how to get it working for the hard disk install. It didn't work first time so I'll look at:-. do I need to be in some audio group? Is it starting knoppix with the cheat codes requested (see dmesg)? Is kmix and aumix enabled on startup with correct volumes? Will it play dvd's, CD's, mp3's and the TV with sound? All of this does raise a few questions generally on sounds in linux:-.
why is sound disabled by default? Why have two mixers and not one? Why are volumes set to zero by default? Why not allways load the current volumes? Why do users have to be part of a group to hear sounds?
