hi guys
well i've just got my dual monitor setup working, and so now i've just got to get everything else set up.

i downloaded the alsa sound driver from realteks (sp?) site for the motherboard.
and i followed the instructions, completed successfully.

rebooted like it said...and the sound worked BUT

it was so faint...i had to turn my amp up nearly full so i could hear it.

so i went into the sound mixer thing in slack10. and went to adjust the nforce2 master slider.

SILENCE... as soon as i adjusted it the sound just went dead...and i couldnt get it back.

anybody got any ideas?

thanks guys
Kane

try to reinstall the driver and try to use KMixer

isnt Kmixer only in KDE?

im running gnome

the sound seems to come back fine after a reboot of the whole system.

but is still faint.

yep ...and it still kills the sound whenver i adjust the "Master" control in the Nvidia Nforce2 Alsamixer,

tried to install drivers from asus's site for the nforce2.

rebooted and no sound, so i reinstalled the alsa drivers from realteks site.

and now i still have no sound.

when i ran alsamixer -c1 and look next to the master control they are on full but it says [OFF] next to it

wooohooo

i think im on a roll

managed to finally get it working with the nvsound driver from nvidia.

first time i tried i got some kernel erros or soemthing. and read a post on here which said something about its cos alsa is running.

so i did /etc/init.d/alsasound stop

or something like that

and then retried and hey presto.
all i needed to do then was modprobe nvsound
(i have no idea what these commands do lol - i know its something like loads the nvidia sound module ...but i dont know what a module is :P )

but in the doc's it said i should add it do modprobe.conf ... well i opened it up ...and it was blank
