Built a new computer. Have a PCchips motherboard-A13G/A13G+. Alightscribe CD/DVD Burner. An AM2-3500 processor, 80 gig hard drive, 1gig of memory, and SimplyMepis installed for operating system. The disc that came with the motherboard has just drivers for windows systems. Any help as to where to get drivers and how to install them in my system. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Jim
need drivers for simply Mepis
Open the mixer app, un-mute all channels, and try playing some sound again.
If that didn't help, googling your mainboard told me you need a driver for the Realtek ALC660, or for some reason that driver (which I expect is included with your linux distribution just like all the other drivers) doesn't work correctly. In that case, I forward this question to someone who is more experienced in troubleshooting linux audio (for me it always just worked). They will probably want to know the output of the following commands in the terminal:
lsmod lspci -v aplay -l
tryed to bring up kmix but nothing comes up but a small box with file settings on it. on the motherboard i have a 4 pin connector that says cd-in but i have nothing for a 4 pin to plug into there other than a 4 pin from power supply. is this my problem
Thanks again
Sound should be coming from the motherboard (or sound card) to the speakers via a connector that looks like this.
I don't know what the 4 pin port is for , but this is pretty much the standard way it goes..
