 No video sound on older computersWe have a couple updated Mepis Linux 8 installs on older computers with approx 1 GHz processors. Sound works and mixer is correct but no sound on c-span.org , wegoted.com , etc. which I understand use flash.
We have the following: user@aa:~$ lspci | grep -i audio 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI] Does anyone have a clue how to solve this? Thanks. |

I don't know if this will help but in the repos is a package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. This is the description

RE: No video sound on older computers Thanks. I added flash-plugin-extrasound but still no sound in c-span.org , etc. Only these older computers with Mepis have this problem. C-span.org in Windows XP on these older computers does work but not as well as on newer computers.

That is an old card, I just did a search and there is a brief discussion on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster#Ensoniq_AudioPCI-based_cards The article talks about it using RAM to store sound, how much RAM have you got ?

RE: No video sound on older computers This computer has 512 MB RAM and another 500 swap so that should be OK. I replaced the Ensoniq ES1370 with a Soundblaster Live CT4830 and now it works good. Apparently some of these Ensoniq cards would be better off in the scrap pile. Thanks!
