Sound & Issues in Suse Linux 9.3

[MrXerxes]

Hello All,


I've just installed Suse Linux 9.3 Professional. This is my first time playing around with a Linux OS, and although I am enjoying it so far, I am having some issues:


During the install three packages failed to install, they all seemed to be for web / XML related things, and were relatively small in size.

I am unable to get my Sound Blaster Audigy working. There do not seem to be any drivers on Creative's site, and although the OS auto loaded drivers, the state of the card is "not running".

Also, although not a problem, I was wondering if any of you could suggest some cool free apps / plugins to download and play around with

Thanks!

Try configuring it with YaST, that might kick it in gear.

Thanks for the link and advice bro!

As for YaST, that's what I have been using, when I tried to delete it from there and then re-add it it said there was a problem with the snd-emk101 module <<<< or something like that.

Any more ideas?

this doesnt really help you but i also had the same problem with a sound blaster card, i could never get it to not sound staticy, i use fordora now for that simple reason, fedora core 4 worked right off the bat with my sound blaster card.

I am doubtful that theres no support for the Audigy 1. I have an audigy 2 and it worked fine in Suse 9.2. It's possible alsa is just biffed, I had that problem for a while when I used Suse. First after you boot up try restarting alsa, with the command /etc/init.d/alsa restart as root, then run alsamixer as a regular user and turn up the volume until you hear something and you should be good to go.
