Sound in VectorLinux-5.8 SOHO Final. (SOLVED)

[boy91]

I have a problem with sound (VIA 8237 chip, mainboard Asrock 775VM8).
Right channel does NOT play. Left channel is good.
I had no problem with VL 5.1 SOHO.
Where is a problem?

Hi, boy91.

I moved this from the release announcement thread, as this belongs in the question section.

I had same problem on a couple of occasions on similar hardware. Try opening up kmix and start moving the sliders around, see if one of them solves it.

I have no problem with my sound chip VT8237 in VL 5.8 Gold.
Who knows a solution of the problem in VL 5.8 Soho ?

[bigpaws]

Please post the output of LSMOD from both SOHO and GOLD.

Also post %amixer -v and uname -r from both.

How can I post the outputs from VL GOLD and SOHO ?
for email?

[The Headacher]

Just open a terminal and type those commands. You can copy the output by highlighting it with your mouse, and paste it here on the forum by clicking the middle mouse button (wheel) or both mouse buttons if you have a 2 button mouse / touchpad.

[bigpaws]

This is even easier, for example to have an output dumped to a file:

uname -r > kernel

That will put the output in a file called kernel.

The same for lsmod.

moving the slider 'PCM' around solves this problem, thanks :-)

I'll edit the first post to mark it 'solved' then.
