Re: [Wlug] Dell Dimension 270GX... stuck on sound...

Tim, Do you have windows on this machine? I have a similiar sound card for my laptop, and I find that if I leave the drive muted under windows, then I cannot unmute it under linux at all. It looks unmuted, but no sounds are made. If you still have windows, boot to windows and make sure the device is unmuted. Then boot back into linux and give it a try again.

Windows file sharing does just that, it shares files. In order for remote CD Burning to work, you would need to be sharing out direct access to the drive itself, not just the files on it. Now that's not to say this is impossible, it just can't be done with Windows File Sharing/Samba. It is theoretically possible to create a program that listens on some network port and allows users to remotely upload ISO images and automatically burn them (or something similiar). Or maybe just watch a particular directory and burn any ISO image that shows up into it (once the file is complete. Not sure the best way to figure that out). Then you could use samba to put the files into the location that the program is watching. I've never heard of such a program, but maybe it's out there somewhere.. or if you want to work on your programming skills you can try creating one yourself.

Install linux on it.. problem solved ;-) ssh in remotely and burn it. The box said "Requires Windows 98 or better" so I installed linux.. gma2004(a)verizon.net wrote: > Anyone know if there's a way to control a cdrw on a win98 box from my > linux box?

remote burning

by gma2004＠verizon.net

Anyone know if there's a way to control a cdrw on a win98 box from my linux box? With Samba, I can mount and read any of the drives on the win box, but I want to be able to burn. How do I list this remote burner as a device in linux so that I can use it? I tried cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI, but it only looks locally. Is there some way to link a block device to a target on another machine? Don't ask why I want to do this. "Because it's there" is probably the best answer I can give. Or at least I think it's there. Maybe not. Thanks, Greg Avedissian

For 2.4, what does your /etc/modules.conf look like? For 2.6, what does your /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf.dist look like? > Now, it shows the card as being supported and it looks like ALSA is loading > a gackle of drivers (and I checked and they've been unmuted...) yet no > sound.

If the latter, do you have the OSS compatibility modules loaded? Try using gnome-alsaplayer or xmms-alsa for a native ALSA application. Does the application "work", i.e. show that sound is playing (graphical equalizier or VU meters moving)? > Has anybody had any experience getting this sound card to work? Note: It is > integrated... I'll continue to probe the deep waters (i.e. Google) for > answers... Yes. All of our Dells have that sound card, and it works fine with ALSA using the snd-intel8x0 driver. Here is my 2.4 ALSA config: # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd #options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 #options snd-intel8x0 snd_ac97_clock=41231 # ALSA OSS/Free emulation support alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Run alsamixer and be sure that all channels are unmuted. Scroll the screen to the right with the arrow keys--you may have missed some channels off the right hand side of the screen, and they are not always named intuitively (Master, Master Mono, Headphone, PCM, Phone, ...)

Along the same lines as plugging it in... Open a mixer and make sure the channels are un-muted. What's the sound section of your modules.conf look like?

Well, the first problem is that you bought a Dell. :-) > Looking in /proc/pci I see it shows the audio card as... > > "Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio Controller > (rev 2)." If there is a driver for this chipset it should (obviously) work. Are the modules set up properly? Can you run 'amixer'? -- Gary
