[Alsa-user] Setting the Default Notebook Sound Card?
Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-225 laptop and am running Kubuntu 6.10. Anyway the thing is that my laptop has onboard sound which is an Intel HD Audio Chip (which I believe is based on a Realtek design). The chip for this card is called snd_hda_intel. However I also have an Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA notebook card. The driver for this card is called snd_emu10k1. Originally with both cards active my Intel HDA card was being loaded as the default card. This was relatively easy to resolve (though not as easy as it should be) by following these guides: [url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282175[/url] [url]http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/sound.htm[/url] This essentially involved entering the following code: options snd_emu10k1 index=0 options snd_hda_intel index=1 Into these files: /etc/modutils/options /etc/modprobe.d/sound In order to cause my Audigy card to be loaded first. (Which is my preference) The first of these guides didn't work - however the second did - and my Audigy card is now listed as the default card under Kmix in KDE. However unfortunately the *majority* (and by majority I mean all of KDE, all of my Media Players, the event notification system and pretty much everything really, is still defaulting to trying to playback via the onboard Intel HDA chip. There are a couple of applications I can configure (like LastFM player) and tell them to explicitly use my Audigy card - and if I can do this the sound does play back normally and as expected. However there are only a very few applications that will allow me to select my audio device in this way - and in any case, it is far from ideal as the ideal scenario would clearly to be able to use the Audigy card as my default system wide audio playback device - rather than just having a few applications use it, while the rest of the system uses the Intel chip. There are a couple of conditions that might be wort considering in my attempts to get my set up to work. Firstly I cannot simply turn the Intel chip off in my bios - as my laptop will not allow this. (I guess it was never envisaged that I might use a different sound card). Nor is this quite a solution as it does not resolve the ordering and default device dilemma that I am facing now. Secondly I cannot simply remove the module from /etc/modules so that it does not get loaded when I reboot - since most hardware detection is now done by HAL. Nor can I compile my kernel to remove the driver - as this has the undesirable effect of meaning that I cannot use my Intel chip at all. Nor would I want to do any of this - as there are several scenarios - where for example I may wish to remove my Audigy PCMCIA card and insert a TV card, or insert a PCMCIA SATA card (so that I can load an alternative OS) and still have sound without having to hack through various configuration files. So predominantly all I want is to set my Audigy card as the default system wide card that all my applications will default to and my Intel chip as the fall back card that my system will revert to if the Audigy card is removed. Can anyone suggest how I might achieve this? I originally presumed that the above methodology would have achieved this, but this does not seem to have been the case. (And yes I did reboot after making these changes). - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Alsa-user] Sound problem with intel ICH7 (Notebook ASUS A8Jp)
Hi! I've installed OpenSUSE 10.2 x86-64 on my notebook. But have problem with sound. Card detected properly and kernel module loaded. But i can hear sound only once when kde started or after restart of alsa. When i restart sound system with YAST i can test sound and i hear sound. But if i change any mixer setting there is no more sound after it. Practically i can hear sound only once after restart sound system. I've checked all mixers setting and all fine. I've installed 1.0.14rc1 driver,libs,utils and setup my card with instruction http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intelcard=ICH+southbridge+HD-audio+and+modem.chip=ICH6%2C+ICH6M%2C+ICH7%2C+ESB2module=hda-intel but have same result. lspci entry: 00:1b.0 Audio device [Class 0403]: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27d8] (rev 02) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

[Alsa-user] multi over dmix: no sound
Hi.
Consider the following .asoundrc:
pcm.mixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm {
type hw
card 0
}
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 32768
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves {
a {
pcm mixer
channels 2
}
}
bindings {
0 { slave a channel 0 }
1 { slave a channel 1 }
}
}
Obviously the multi plugin is useless here, but it is a minimal test case
for a problem I had with a real situation.
If I play something through the mixer PCM, I get sound all right. But if I
send it through the multi PCM, I only get silence. Changing mixer to
hw:0 gets the sound back, but loses the mixer.
It is true with libasound 1.0.12 and .13 from Debian on two different
systems.
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Regards,

(And I say this as a KDE user for the last 5+ years) There should be an option in KControl (KDE control panel) that allows the user (just as one can in Gnome ad also in Windows XP control panel) to define/change the system wide default audio device, using a simple applet with a drop down menu - rather that forcing a user to struggle with several essentially very obscure configuration files. In any case after much research both cards now work. However I have another issue (with my onboard speakers not working correctly with the Audigy card) which I will post separately. - Take Surveys.

[Alsa-user] Creative Audigy 2 PCMCIA and onboard Speakers?
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to get my laptop onboard speakers working with my Audigy 2 PCMCIA sound card? If so, how can I do this? Currently everything else works as as expected - however it is impractical to always have to carry a set of external speakers around with me, so having the onboard speakers working would certainly be useful. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Alsa-user] multi over dmix: no sound
Hi!
I'm very much interested in that issue, too. I had the same problem,
having PCM not usable errors on some setups I tried. I finally gave up
thinking that it just can't be done. Hoping that it will be possible one
day, I filed a feature request. Maybe you could add a comment to show,
that I'm not the only one desiring such a feature. If you should find a
way how to do it with the current versions, please tell me how! Thanks
in advance.
