M-Audio Audiophile 2496 - no sound under Mint 9
Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 1:06 pm
Hi,
i have been using the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 for some time now. It used to work flawlessly until I think Ubuntu 6 or 7, but not at all in any version higher than that, and now it's not working in Mint either.
The point is: the system DOES seem to recognize the sound card, at least it's listed in that "Audio Properties" windows (or whatever this is called in English), but I simply don't hear a thing.
While using the Live-CD I actually got that sound-output-display to correctly SHOW when there should have been sound, though I generally would prefer to actually hear it.
I know literally nothing about the inner workings of a Linux system, from the stuff I found on Google I think there appears to be something called "Alsa" (though I don't really get what to do with it), and the speakers ARE turned on, I checked all of that, so please take that into account if you have any idea how to solve this problem.
Yes, I did search the forums for a solution to this, but I didn't really find anything that appeared to be too helpful (like: lots of ideas what to type into a terminal that only lead to a "application doesn't exist" message with me, because those tips were apparently written with an Ubuntu system in mind, i guess).
Thanks in advance.
