| Hi folks,
My slow creep towards a reinstated and working A1 is almost complete but I can't seem to get any sound out of it.
I have a bog standard Soundblaster card which I know used to work in this machine and I just tested it in my Pegasos and it works.
In Prefs/AHI, I have it set to EMU10kx:HiFi 16 bit stereo++ but have also tried a few other settings. Still no sound.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to what else I need to check or set?

My SBLive! only worked in the bottom most PCI slot when I had a A1XE.

Thanks. It's in the bottom slot but I also tried it in another. No joy yet.

There are very many versions of "Soundblaster" and only some of them work with the available device drivers. For instance, I was never able to get any SB to work that had been supplied in a Dell chassis.
You may get some advice if you can identify your model exactly, but it's not certain that it will be usable. _________________ cheers tony

I'm not in front of it right now so can't tell you specific model but I can tell you that it worked in the same A1 previously. (When I got 4.1 I wiped the HD and started afresh.)

It might help if you post all of your AHI settings here. If you started fresh you might have missed a setting that an XE owner can assist you with.
audio issues
Yeah, old thread, but something might jog your memory here.
a shorter summary
Heh. It seems to have helped an XE owner long long ago: Source

Will do once I get back in front of it, which might be a wee while - can't get a minute these days. Quote:

| Finally got back in front of the A1.
The card is a Soundblaster SB Live, serial no MSB0220310120870 and previously worked fine in the same machine.
My current AHI settings are: Music unit EMU10kx: 16 bit stereo++
Mode ID 0x001e0004 Recording Full duplex Driver Devs:AHI/emu10kx.audio Version emu10kx.audio 6.7
Still baffled by this as I know there's nothing wrong with the card and am reasonably confident it's nothing to do with the A1 hardware.

You should set all the Units in AHI prefs. Use the Unit menu appearing just before the device list and set all units to use the SB Live device driver, just like the Music Unit.
Did you do that? _________________ Peg1, Peg2, Efika, Amiga 500, Amiga 1230, Amiga 4000PPC, Sam 440EP, AmigaOne XE, MacMini PPC, PowerMac G4, G5 |

Thank you, that seems to have done the trick. I now have sound - yay! _________________ Robert -- A1XE G4, OS4.1. Peg1 G3, MOS 1.4. Abel Soul - Check out our tunes on Spotify |
