no sound until I run doom
I need help with sound. If I want to run a music CD (internal CD drive) or
a cassette (from a walkman plugged into the input jack on the back of the
sound card) I have first to run doom. If I don't, I can't hear a thing.
This is on Deb 1.3. I assume the same thing is happening on Deb 2.0. I
don't have doom installed on Deb 2.0, so I can't test it, but I currently
can't get any sound out in 2.0. Anyone know what I have to do to remedy
this ?
As a tack on sound question, when I try to run Xmixer or aumix from the
fvwm2 menus (Apps -> Sound), at best I see a window flash briefly to life on
the desk top, only to disappear, at worst I see nothing. The same thing
happens on Deb2.0. I have more sound utilities, like CD player consoles, on
2.0 that do the same thing. XPlaycd works but the others don't (can't tell
you which ones, 'cause I am writing this from Deb1.3. Don't have mail
configured on 2.0, yet.) Any suggestions ?
thanks for any help,
Gerald Crimp
