Hi I have been using debian squeeze and now sid on a ibookg g4 1.2Ghz which i believe is a late 2004 machine - 30G harddrive. Some time ago (way before squeeze) sound stopped working at all.
instead I get a scratchy terrible sound that sounds like someone blowing air under their tongue while scratching their fingernails on glass, whenever I try to listen to a ogg or mp3 lecture or music. When I downloaded a ubuntu live disk 10.04 sound works fine. So it is not a hardware problem. I had the problem for some before squeeze time and was running squeeze with this problem too. I tried some random things i googled - such as putting snd-powermac in the /etc/modules directory as well as putting the following modules to be blacklisted: snd-aoa snd-aoa-codec-tas snd-aoa-fabric-layout snd-aoa-i2sbus snd-aoa-soundbus - this had no effect. still the same bad sound. I upgraded to the latest sid kernel 2.6.38-2 from the squeeze kernel and no help. I also tried installing the latest alsa-driver from the alsa web site and this did not help? Is there anything that I can do to get this very portable nice laptop sound working? It worked fine for the longest time... here is lsmod|grep snd snd_powermac 58851 0 snd_pcm_oss 44965 0 snd_mixer_oss 19254 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 68590 2 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 4759 0 snd_seq_oss 33902 0 snd_seq_midi 8352 0 snd_rawmidi 22252 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 7904 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 53422 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 21631 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 8861 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 55632 11 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 8067 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9121 1 snd_pcm Thanks!
