No sound on Yellow Dog Linux 6.0

Postby rancidia16 » 21 May 2014, 07:18

I have been looking all over for this answer, but I cannot seem to find the correct answer to my problem. Maybe you guys can help?

I have a Mac Mini PowerPC G4 running YDL 6.0. I have tried to reinstall YDL to get sound. That DID work; however, it only seems to work on the first boot.

If you need any info about my computer or error logs, please ask.
Thanks in advance.

Never mind. It seems to be working now after compiling some alsa libs and such.

This may not be the greatest answer in the world, but it looks like this forum is rather sparsely populated, so here goes anyway. I used YDL a long time ago on my DA G4 Mac and when I had sound problems I ended up fixing them through the OpenSuse forums. As I recall, they have a really good section in there somewhere on troubleshooting sound. A good starting point is to use the man page on the command "alsamixer". You use that mixer panel via the CLI (terminal). Go to the terminal and type alsamixer and see what happens. If it runs, it provides a panel written in ncurses that is fairly straightforward to use.

I hope this little bit helps some.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've since gotten it to work by installing a few packages. Thanks for the reply, though!
