I've been working on this for a while. Read everything I could find on the
internet and still not luck.
Here's the deal. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have a Gigabyte gn 7400 pro 2 motherboard. This motherboard has the nforce2
chipset and onboard sound which is supposed to work with the intel8x0 module.
I'm running debian sid (i.e. unstable) with a self-compiled 2.6.5 kernel.
i've included the relevant bits of my setup below. here's the problem
everything seems to load ok and look normal. i can use alsamixer to move
around volumes and, when i increase the master volume to max i can hear a
hiss in the speakers, which seems to indicate that the volume is in fact
being turned up.
when i use aplay to play wavs it does one of the following -- doesn't play;
plays the wav in a bizzarre repeating loop; plays in a repeating loop at too
low frequency. (the wavs i've been using to test are the wavs from kde). the
fact that it plays at all seems to mean _something_ is working, but i don't
know what.
if i try to use mpg123 or xmms (with alsa or oss plugin) it won't play. as
in, it doesn't even begin to decode the mp3. (although, if i use the
filewriter output on xmms that works fine, so mp3 is decoding ok).
artsd on kde doesn't work (either in also or toss mode).
cd's play fine, but that's probably not a surprise.
i'm totally stumped. any ideas?
alsa 1.0.4 is installed and my relevant setup is as follows
lsmod:
snd_intel8x0 32324 0
snd_ac97_codec 63044 1 snd_intel8x0
