No sound in sam640LE

Post by musa »

Hello everyone
I have just assembled my new am640LE and installed Amiga's 4.1 FE and Morphos.
Everything seems to work except my sound card.
I have the following cards installed
ASUS ATI RADEON HD4350 1GB PCI-E ASUS ATI RADEON HD4350 1GB PCI-E
Silicon Image SiI3114 4 ports
Envy24HT PCIe audio card
All three are found but there is no sound in Os4.1 FE or in Morphos
I have installed the drivers and sometimes there is a test sound in ahi prefs. Then completely dead.
Several programs say there is no device.
Anyone with experience with this
Thanks in advance.

Which programs say there is no device?

I found that Notification/Ringhio is hogging AHI when ran , so you could try to not start it through WBStartup and test the test sound and these other programs.

Normally to test sound output is to use AmigaAmp as it has the option to "keep AHI unit ooen" during playback.

Hi
Many thanks for the help. Now I got a little further.
Ahi sees the card and plays the test tone correctly.
Amigaamp says " error trying to open ahi.device check you have at least V4 of Ahi (I have)

Have a nice day

In AmigaAmp prefs
AUDIO
set the AHI unit to "0" and
"Keep AHI unit open"

Close the prorgram and restart.

I got the same error lately with every unit except "0"

Hi
Many thanks for the help.
I had the settings in amiamp as you say, but then got the idea to reset ahi to the standard settings and then suddenly music appeared in amiamp.
Many thanks for making suggestions because I had given up.

I have found that if you go into prefs -> Sound and test the startup sound, I get nothing. If I click on "mode settings" and select Unit 0, I can play a test sound. If I then go back to "Sound Settings" tab, my startup file will play. However, if I close Sound Pref and reopen it, I have the same thing. it seems something is with the Sound pref.

BTW, I do not touch or change any setting other than selecting Unit 0 in the pull down. I have also tried to save but it does not help. Once I close the Sound Prefs and reopen, i get no startup sound when testing. I should add that this only affects the startup sound. I can play Amiga AMP just fine.

UPDATE: After messing around as described above, my startup sound is now working.
