 I have a broken .wav file )-; Well, you guys helped me with the sound, and I've been playing .wav files 'til the cows come home. ;-) But there's one that I managed to save from the W95 days, "Musica_Open.wav"; but mine is broken or something: http://www.neodruid.net/Share/Musica_Open.wav You can hear that KKH! at the end, right? So, I'm looking for a sound editor, and first I thought I'd ask, do I already have one? I did a web search and the hype for Kwave sounds like it'd be OK, but do I really want to compile from source if there's something already out there? Any recommendations for a .wav file editor? Apologies for this not being strictly Slack-specific, but I wouldn't know what other NG to ask in. Well, there is method to my madness - I'd much rather have a Slack package (or find out I already have one, but I don't even know where to begin to look) than compile from source. That's pretty much Slack-specific. :-) Thanks! Rich      |

If you leached the wav file From the URL, you don't have a wav file. Look at the file size. How much audio can you squeeze into 489 bytes? That's the first clue that something's not right. Look a little closer: $ file Musica_Open.wav Musica_Open.wav: ASCII text uhoh.

The windows version is a lot less buggy than the linux version. Since we are using a 2.6.20 kernel with an AC97 sound chip on our motherboard, alsa, and all sound, is unavailable to us. Unless we boot up to windoze of course... You are way, way ahead, to use windows for your multimedia stuff. cordially, as always, rm |

You had it working with an earlier kernel? I've not used a 2.6.20 kernel yet, but certainly with 2.6.19.2 I don't have any trouble. It would astonish me if the driver was broken from one version to the next. If you post the output of the following command, I imagine you'll get sufficient help to get sound working on your system. zgrep ^CONFIG_SND /proc/config.gz I'll append that output from a system I have where I use only the onboard "AC'97" sound interface, in case it helps. I expect there are some items there that I don't need (such as the MPU401 and VIRMIDI drivers, given that this computer does not have a MIDI interface that I'm aware of, though VIRMIDI might still be useful ...) but sound output on this system works just fine. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl@alcor.concordia.ca Systems and Network analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- : elvira[syl] ~; zgrep ^CONFIG_SND /proc/config.gz CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=y CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=y CONFIG_SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT=y CONFIG_SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API=y CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS=y CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=y CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=y CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=y CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI=y CONFIG_SND_MPU401=y CONFIG_SND_ATIIXP=y |

They only suggest that the drivers should be compiled as modules, although they can't say why. > If you post the output of the following command, I imagine you'll > get sufficient help to get sound working on your system. > zgrep ^CONFIG_SND /proc/config.gz Okey dokey.
