Re: [Alsa-user] [SPAM] No Sound in Debian 6
Hello! I'm afraid the problem is totally not linked to the Debian Squeeze distro, reaosn: there are similar problems for some chipsets, especially the famous Intel HDA Audio chipset in Ubuntu: ... Note: I'm not telling that the problem happens for all chipsets, but tons of persons should probably encouter such a problem when using laptops and netbooks fitted with Intel hda chipsets. It may not be a problem of distributions, however, everything worked with the alsa packages and configuration that come with Ubuntu, but not with those which come with Debian. At this moment I overbridge the problem on a absurd virtual way: external speakers, there is a vol-button you can rise up. External speakers are not working for me. @all: I think I've found the root of my problem: I booted the computer with a Knoppix Flash drive, with which all sound output and input was fine. While checking the /proc/asound/cards of the Knoppix system, I noticed an Sigmatel Audio Card, additional to the HDA Intel entry. For the same Sigmatel Chip there werde Channels displayed in Alsa mixer, which seemed to actually control my volume. This Sigmatel entry is missing on my Debian System. Does anyone know how to add this card to my alsa? Best Regards Savio -- What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!

Hello, Thank you. These are the differences of the two logs: http://pastebin.com/nAtnhMvc As I am not a really experienced user, I do not know how to add and configure the modules properly. It would be nice if you would explain this in more detail. This is the modinfo on the three sound modules installed on Knoppix: http://pastebin.com/ADknBwRt And this is the output of the alsa-info skript you mentioned - On Knoppix: http://pastebin.com/fHCguzr6 , On Debian: http://pastebin.com/0rAPiyEN . Best Regards Savio PS: I hope the Pastebin Links are ok. I just wanted the mail not get too messy. PPS: As seen in the files, I was wrong saying the there would be a Sigmatel card on Knoppix in /proc/asound/cards. However a Sigmatel codec is used on Knoppix. Finding out what's different with more detain than Yes and No would help. boot into knoppix $ lsmod | grep -i snd | sort 21 | tee alsa_knoppix.log boot into debian $ lsmod | grep -i snd | sort 21 | tee alsa_debian.log save these files on a common medium (flash drive) of course. $ diff -a -U 3 alsa_knoppix.log alsa_debian.log And of course noting /proc/asound/cards plus you might want to modinfo the module of importance for each, to see what differs there (versioning / parms).

Re: [Alsa-user] [SPAM] No Sound in Debian 6
A little overkill from my description. And so forget that versioning would alter the module sizes. But alsa-info has the needed info. Knoppix - Kernel 2.6.37 - alsa 1.0.23 Debian - Kernel 2.6.32 - alsa 1.0.24 Is that the way your debian came, or did you try to fix things manually? Just an odd versioning combo AFAIK. The the older debian kernel would have the newer alsa version. Other notes. Aside from that WTF modinfo null. stuff for debian. knoppix - Codec: SigmaTel STAC9205 debian - Codec: Conexant ID 2c06 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:284b (rev 02) Subsystem: 1028:01f1 So the knoppix one is the one that works? If so: modprobe snd-hda-intel id=SigmaTel ??? Or add snd-hda-intel.id=SigmaTel to the kernels boot line in grub (or lilo). Or something like that, it's been a while. Syntax might vary. And it might need to be in the kernel's .config if it's not already. Unless you compile alsa / install the old 2.4.x way. Beyond that your guess is as good as mine. Probably some alias / options line you can add to /etc/modprobe.d/*alsa* as well, or instead of those two other ways, that functionally do the same thing (with quirks). Hopefully something in there rings a bell for you. Or else the old alsa-project.org and doc stuff might hint towards a solution. On the surface it looks like debian is defaulting to a conexant codec and failing and knoppix is defaulting to a sigmatel codec and NOT failing. Which is the same module / driver for all intents, so something configuration is awry. Or I could be wrong. - James On 5/23/11, s.keup...@arcor.de s.keup...@arcor.de wrote: Hello, Thank you.

[Alsa-user] HDA Intel problems on MacBookPro
Hello everyone! A friend of mine can't get sound on Linux Debian Wheezy/Sid. Here are the hardware data: Card: HDA Intel pch (6 series chipset family, High Definition Audio controller Rev. 05) Chip: Intel cougarPoint HDMI He runs the standard Kernel with the Distro ALSA version 1.0.23. Does any of you have an idea/tips? Thanks a lot in advance and Kindest regards Julien P.S.: My friend is included as CC, please reply to all adresses, thank you.

Does any of you have an idea/tips? unfortunately that report is useless because it is not detailed enough. I guess though, that Cougar Point is too new and probably not supported by the Debian packages your friend has installed. Although You should do the following. 0. Be more specific what does not work. Are there any devices? Did you try speakers and/or headphones? … 1. Probably send further messages to alsa-devel [1] instead of alsa-user since most developers are not subscribed to alsa-user as far as I experienced it. 2. Submit a report to the Debian bug tracking system using reportbug linux-image-2.6… which can be installed using the package management system, e. g. using the following command. sudo aptitude install reportbug 3. Attach *and* upload the output of `alsa-info.sh` to every message [2]. 4. Try out newer versions of ALSA either by compiling ALSA by yourself (although the drivers should be included in the Linux kernel and 2.6.39 is available in the Debian Sid/unstable archive) or by running some live system from USB medium or CD like Knoppix [3] or Fedora 15.

Re: [Alsa-user] HDA Intel problems on MacBookPro
Hello Paul! Thanks for the detailed reply. It all looks very helpfu, except one minor thing, which I hope is wrong. :-) But frst the good news: We tried some more and restarted and now there is a soundcard, which evidently works, so I suppose it's udev trouble. Well in my experience udev and trouble are synonyms, but that's another story. :-) I hope we still have enough developers/gurus on this list, otherwise it would be bordering on pointless to have this list, since there are so many potential problems, which directly connect to the devel-team (like support and real bugs). Thanks again and in future I will heed the advice about alsa-info.sh.
