Knoppix 3.3 - No Sound
hello!
yesterday i installed knoppix (debian) linux on my harddrive. now i am configurating the system. everything works fine, but there is still one problem. my soundcard doesn't work. i've got the dell dimension 8300... linux recognized my soundcard as audio_i810. i read in this forum, that it should be the right one, but there is still no sound :(
the mixer is as loud as it can be. i also tried configuring my soundcard via the knoppix-wizard.
did anyone here have the same problem, or does someone know a solution for this problem?
best regards

knoppix,
sumtimes, even if the OS recognize the hardware which u are primarily talkin' 'bout is the soundcard, doesn't mean that it is compatible with the OS u have installed, i suggest u take a look at the chipset, take note of serials and ID no. and search it over the net for compatibilities and drivers.
goodluck!

If Knoppix uses ALSA, run alsamixer, scroll using the arrow keys until you see ADC and DAC, then make sure both are turned up.

I was able to get a newer version of Knoppix to work correctly with the integrated sound in my Poweredge 400SC server.
Supposedly, the 400SC, the Precision 360 and the Dimension 8300 use similar audio chipsets so this may work for you:
(1) If necessary, download a newer version of Knoppix. Mine is Knoppix 3.4 dated 5/4/2004
(2) At the bootup prompt, type "linux26 noscsi nodma alsa" and hit the ENTER key. "linux26" is the newest knoppix kernel 2.6.x series. It may also work with the standard kernel command "knoppix noscsi nodma alsa". I needed to add the "noscsi" line to prevent an error that appeared while checking for a scsi disk controller. I also needed to type in "nodma" to prevent DMA acceleration on my CDROM drive which did not like DMA and gave me CLOOP errors on bootup. You may not need to type in the "noscsi" or the "nodma" words for your system. The important keyword is "alsa". This forces Knoppix to use the ALSA sound drivers.
Good Luck.

The newest version of Knoppix 3.4 (dated 5/17/2004) solved the lockup during the scsi autodetection sequence. So the following boot commands now work for me:
knoppix alsa
or
knoppix26 alsa
Both the standard kernel and the "knoppix experimental" 2.6.6 kernel are working fine so far.
