But I've still no sound with beep-media-player for example.. And the level in the mixer is not mute..... Does anyone has an idea? Cause i'ts a big probel to watch a DVD without any sound :) see ya |
If I interpret your output correctly, your kernel does not run alsa - it runs oss (open sound system), the older sound system for linux. I hope this gets you closer to your goal - I don't know to what degree oss or alsa would support your particular sound devices.
Regards, Samsara |
Yeah I want to run alsa. But I've tried to put a lot of module, it's why we can see oss with alsa loaded =)
Doses anyone know which modules I have to load to run with alsa, and put of oss? thanks, see ya |
Go to /usr/src/kernel-release/
where kernel-release is the version of the kernel you are using. In that directory, do a "make menuconfig". Under (I think) devices -> sound it will show you the modules available for oss and alsa. I'm not surprised you're not getting any sound if you have both oss and alsa loaded - intuitively, I would think that they would conflict over the use of output devices! Samsara |

Hello,
On some net sites, I've discovered that perhaps my audio chipset isn't supported by Alsa drivers. So I wanted to put OSS instead of alsa.

Problem found.
Alsa drivers work good. But, you have to mute "External", cause if you dont mute it, no sound comes out. And when u mute it, problem solved :) Thanks all, |
Hello, Wrack
It seems I got the same problem. I installed Debian 2.6.8 on my hp nx9110 and alsa too, but still no sound. I've seen you've solved your problem so please tell me, what do you mean by mute "External":) Thanks |
Mhhh first is your card known by alsa? (i.e with alsaconf).
If yes, run alsamixer, and set 100 for master and PCM. Then where should be a "External" part, type 'm' to mute it. On my laptop, it solved the problem. |
Well, I ran alsaconf and he detected my soundcard (ATIIXP150 AC97)
I configured it, snd-atiixp then he told me he would run alsa start then raise the volme with amixer but it went wrong, he wrote : Running update modules... Loading drivers... Starting Alsa /etc/initd/alsa alsactl restore failed with message :"alsactl load_state 1134 : no soundcards found" done setting default volumes... saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state /usr/sbin/alsactl : save_state 1061 : no soundcards found I tried to run amixer but it didn't work.detected alsamixer gave me : function snd_ctl_open failed for default : no such device even though alsaconf had detected it. |
What version of ALSA do you have AlPapone??
I was having similar problems to Wrack and I only resolved it once I got the latest stable version (1.06) from alsa-project.org. I dowloaded all the modules (except for the firmware and OSS library) and installed it on my laptop. Ran alsaconf and the sound finally worked. |
Well,
I don't really know how I guess which version I installed, but I think it's the latest, since I simply downloaded it with : aptitude install alsa and debian managed all that stuff for me. But I'll try to install a newer version. |
no audio on thinkpad t21
I've just installed mandrake 9.1 on a newly acquired thinkpad t21. I've got no audio out. I'm a linux newbie. Any suggestions?

AC97 Can suck it
ROFL, I was trying to make my sound work, and I had a Chrono Trigger song playing on XMMS. I was messing around with the settings of the alsamixer. I finally did something, and, BAM! Sound started blasting out of the speakers! LOL It was scary, but it also means that I'm a AC97Conquerer :).
NOTICE, I'm using Debian woody 3.0r1!! Type this into the command prompt: lspci { One of my lines says this: Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 24c5 (rev 01) } So these are the steps I did to make sure sound WORKED: 1) I compiled to kernel 2.4.22 from 2.4.18 http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html For this tutorial you would download the kernel-source-2.4.22 (or something like that) If you can't find kernel-source-2.4.22 from apt-get, try: apt-cache search kernel-source OR if you don't even have the sources.... You can use mine! @ http://home.centurytel.net/ravenz/sources.list Put those sources this folder on your computer: /etc/apt/sources.list 2) Download the latest ALSA drivers here: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub You'll want to download the latest utils, libs, and drivers that you can download: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver 3) Read about your soundcard instructions: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ 4) You may want to screw up the instructions. Because when it says this: "NB. If you are using drivers before 0.9.4 then you need to run ./snddevices If you use devfs then you should not run the snddevices script" (ALSA) Just ignore that and do it anyways (if your alsamixer doesn't work). Otherwise you should listen to what they have to say! 5) Now if you have the sound rolling, but you can't hear anything, play around with the alsamixer. Use the keyboard 'm' to turn OFF Externals. You can find that at the far right of the alsamixer options. And my typing is really slow with the sound on.....I hate myself.... And then you'll want to play around with the other volumes on alsa mixer, like the master. There are 2 master volumes, boost those up using the up arrow key, and also trying switching them on and off by using 'm' on your keyboard. 6) I hope this helps! And remember, you aren't alone!! I still have problems lol. Email me if you need more help @: Diablicolic@msn.com I hope I helped someone! peace out! -Corey :) |
Thanks, this did help.. It's one of those, check to see if it's plugged in first, type of problems. I had played with alsa mixer settings but it deserved a second look. Yeh, I had overlooked the crucial one that did the trick. Thks again.
