Hello, I own an eeepc 900a and installed debian. I recently did an "apt-get dist-upgrade" and I am running Kernel 2.6.32-5-686
Since alsa was not working without trouble I followed these instructions http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Sound#InstallanupdatedAlsadriver to get a newer alsa version. But still I am having problems. I put a the output of alsa-info.sh here http://files.muellers.ms/alsa/eeepc_900a_alsa-info.txt 1) Mixer controls In alsamixer I see the control for "Mic Boost" twice. If I change one of them the other also moves, Same for "IntMic Boost" it's also there twice. See here for a screenshot of alsamixer http://files.muellers.ms/alsa/eeepc_900a_alsamixer.png But anyhow it seems that they do not have any effect at all, they only raise the noise while. To record with the internal Mic I have to enable/open "Capture" and "Digital" Does that make sense ? 2) crackling noise If I change any of the mixer controls e.g. increase volume or do an "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" or do an "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0" or start arecord I get crackling noise on the speaker and headphones for a few seconds. 3) duplex It seems that I can't hear the input of the internal mic neither on the speakers nor on my headphones. Even not while recording. This is different on my IBM Thinkpad T43 where I am able to monitor what I am recording. Is this because full duplex is not working, means recording and replaying at the same time ? 4) audacity If I start a recording with audacity it first needs some seconds to raise it's levels which looks like this http://files.muellers.ms/alsa/audacity.png All in all recording quality is very low with very high noise. But playback e.g. mplayer mp3 or flashplayer just works fine beside the crackling noise I get for a few seconds once I modify the mixer controls With the Original OS Xandros Linux didn't have these problems but of course I prefer Debian. Any suggestions to get these issues resolved ?
