I have installed Mandriva 2009 One edition.....

System: Dell Studio 1535
Chipset: Intel GM/PM 965
Audio Device: IDT 92HD73C ( as shown in BIOS)

In mandriva, when I entered lspcidrake -v at console, the audio device is shown as snd_hda_intel : 82801H (ICH8)

But when I entered /sbin/chkconfig --list sound & /sbin/chkconfig --list alsa, an error message is shown - "error: no such file or directory"

the file chkconfig does exist in the given path.... Help me

later I tried installing omega 10 and fedor 9.... all of them is having the same problem...

I solved the problem in suse.... I think the problem is, two sound cards are listed on executing that lspcidrake command....

1) ATI sound card
2) Intel

The default sound card selected is the 1st one... in opensuse, I was able to change the default soundcard through yast... in Mandriva, I did'nt find any option to set the default one.... can anyone help me to set the default sound card???

Assuming you aren't using the onboard sound, you can always disable it in the BIOS to avoid conflicts.

my problem got solved....just try this... Open up Kmix (left click)
Click on "Mixer"
Under Settings (top bar) click onto "Configure channels".
Tick "Analogue Loopback" and click "OK"
Back in your Mixer Window, tick "Mute" analogue loopback.

that will get rid of the hissing and pop sound.
Right click in the taskbar on KMix
Click on "Select Master Channel"
Set it to "PCM"
Keep your front volumes up all the way in the main Kmix window and use PCM to adjust volume.
