Re: [K12OSN] Yippee! It works! Wahoo!



I second that. I've been rather casually following David's thread in hopes of gleening an answer to my problem: Sound on my clients *used* to work, just a week or so ago, but now when I try to play any sounds nothing happens. During the boot up on the client, the SB card is getting initialized properly (no errors), so I'm not quite sure where to start.

One of the things I've been wondering is, when is it necessary to invoke the ESD sound or NASD? My cards are mostly ISA Sound Blaster cards, but I picked up a PCI sound card recently; haven't had a chance to try it. Will it require ESD or NASD settings in lts.conf?

Will following this thread help others to get sound working? It is something
everyone in our building wants and especially the lab. I will read through
the thread later, but is it possible David to write a HOWTO that may help
the rest of us with sound? It seems really daunting with all of the
information really kind of spread out through the archives.

Looking forward to reading this thread...

thank you all! It works!

I finally got nasd sound working in IceWM.  Special thanks to Eric for his
help debugging and to Jim McQuillan for straightening me out about the
placement of the command in my IceWM session file.  (doh!)  I now have
crisp beautiful sound not only in the regular programs such as TuxType,
but also in Flash stuff on the internet!  I have some teachers who will be
very happy as they want to use a site called starfall.com for reading.
Here's what I found....nasd worked fine in Gnome, but not in IceWM.  The
problem was the ltsp-esound.sh script wasn't being launched in IceWM so I
added it to my session script in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Icewm....in fact
here it is

#!/bin/bash
. /etc/profile.d/ltsp-esound.sh
/usr/bin/nautilus &
exec /usr/bin/icewm

*Note the second line is the one I added.  Now things work great!  And a
plus is that the annoying beeping that I had on one of my VIA motherboard
terminals is now gone!  Wahoo!

A virtual beer and pizza for all of you! Thanks!
