Hello --
I've been trying to get my sound working for nearly a month now with
no luck.
* I've followed the Gentoo ALSA Guide *several times*, and it's not
working for me.
* I've already unmuted my card in alsamixer and raised the volume to
100%
* There is no sound that is coming from any of the following:
-- mplayer (movies or mp3's)
-- speaker-test
-- flash movies in Firefox
-- etc ... i.e. NOTHING gives me any sound
* But when I try to play sound in any of the above mentioned programs,
I get no errors (i.e. they seem to think that my sound *is* working.
* I've checked to make sure that the volume isn't muted via the
keyboard, and that the volume is at 100% there too.
* There are no errors that are popping up in /var/log/messages or /var/
log/dmesg when I do '/etc/init.d/alsasound restart' nor when I
manually rmmod/modprobe the sound modules
* The hardware is not damaged/broken -- it works fine from Windows
* I've tried to disable ati-hdmi in the kernel and it doesn't make a
difference (it's currently enabled, but unused according to lspci -k)
and according to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ the ATI HDMI card should
be using snd-hda-intel (as it currently is) anyway
* I've tried telling alsaconf to use the Intel HDA card, and the ATI
HDMI card -- neither of these work.
* I started a thread on Gentoo Forums regarding this problem () and
someone said: QUOTE HD Audio often needs a model option passed to it
based on the codec see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/
sound/alsa/HD-
Audio-Models.txt to see what the model should be. /QUOTE ... But
looking through that file, I could not determine which option I should
use (if this is even a solution, anyway) for my card. Google was no
help here. (note that the Intel HDA card uses the SigmaTel ID 76a0
codec)
Is there any additional information I can provide (besides what I just
mentioned, and the stuff below) to help diagnose this? Anything else I
should try? Any help would be *very* much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse Taylor
