Greetings

Well, I finally had time to sit and wait for kde to compile on my SunBlade 100 Everything works great (for the most part) The only thing that is bugging me that I can't seem to fix is how to turn off the speaker on blade.

I've tried using KMix but its slider thingy's don't seem to have any effect on the sound at all. The aRts control program will however will control the volume.

I have external speakers hooked up (to line out) and would like the sound to only come out of those, not the aweful internal speaker.

here are the related modules installed in my kernal:
trident 35272 2
ac97_codec 13056 0 [trident]
soundcore 4628 2 [trident]

and I have verified that artsd is running.

Thanks in advance for your help...

Hi,

I had the same problem with an SUN Ultra60. I think there is no way to disable the internal speaker with anykind of mixer program under linux. The only way I found out to disable it was to unplug the internal speaker connector from the mainboard. Because I do not need the internal speaker for anything. Check the technical documentation of your machine where to find this connector on your machine:

Its on page 206.

regards
Stefan

even before I was done installing I was hating the beep on my sparc, at that point I did a:
setterm -blength 0 >/dev/vc/1

Are you running KDE? I am and have had good luck changing the system bell settings in the Sound & multimedia secton of the control center under 'settings' on the menu

I set the volume to 2 % and the duration to 7ms... its not so horrible and my cube-mates don't hate me anymore.

Yeah, I've figured that out, but I still can't control the volume to the speaker itself. I want to listen to music through my headphones, which I can, but it also comes out of the darn speaker at the same time too, and I can't get the volume to that to turn off without effecting my headphones as well. :(

marvin log # man audioctl
No manual entry for audioctl
marvin log # audioctl
/dev/audioctl: No such file or directory

:(

Oh well. I just disconnected the darn thing internally. Good enough for me.

Oops, thought it was there.

Here's a url to a man page for it

any idea what device I should be using? /dev/dsp doesn't seem to work, and the /dev/sound/* devices yield the same uselseess answer:

marvin dev # audioctl -f /dev/sound/dsp -a
ioctl(getdev): Invalid argument

Just a small update to this. If you have sparc-utils-1.9-r1 the audioctl manpage now exists. Also for some helpful hints on how to work things with audioctl, check out /etc/default/audioctl.
