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] [SPAM] No Sound in Debian 6
Hello Everyone! After I recently switched to Debian I had the problem that only one Application could use my speakers at the same time, and that the microphone was not working. I tried to fix it with HowTos from the www without really knowing what I was doing. Now I have no Sound at all. Under Ubuntu 10.10 everything was working (though the micro was a bit quiet). I'm using Debian 6 with Xfce and Lxde on a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop. Thanks in advance! Best Regards Savio _ aadebug outputs: ALSA Audio Debug v0.2.0 - Sa 21.

I notices that the problem with ALSA occured since previous distros, that's why the info/suggestions at ubuntuforums refers to 9.10 (Intrepid, but also to all the other published editions; so this ALSA problem is now appeared since long time ago but still not resolved!

At this moment I overbridge the problem on a absurd virtual way: external speakers, there is a vol-button you can rise up. The best solution is that the ALSA gurus definitely fix the problem or that they should give us a good suggestion how to replace ALSA by Jack or OSS4, or telling us if the problem is being resolved soon! Unfortunately I can't apply lots of suggestions made by James in previous mailings, I'm a command-line user, not a Gnome user; but in essence that doesn't matter in Linux: when a system works it works in cli or in X as well, that's one of the nicest properties of Gnu/Linux!
