Installed Cassandra, no sound.

Post by fixrman »

I installed Cassandra a while ago, after deleting Bianca, Sound worked fine in Bianca, but I guess Cassie is not saying anything. Jealousy.

This is a dual boot setup with W2K, and sound is fine in 2K.

What sound hardware have you got?

On my laptop, found that I needed to change the sound control from "front" to "surround" on my alsa mixer for me to hear sound....

I had the same problem on a new build. My sound card is an X-Fi Xtreme Audio which, sometimes, shows up as an Audigy card. This depends on the distro.
As far as I know, there are no open source drivers for the X-Fi cards (yet).
If you have a mobo with onboard sound, switch your plug to it. Most onboard sound works in linux.
