I 2nd Dominic's advice - My scenario as well, and when running SID at times 
having pasystray helped select the right card when needed. Of course now, with 
Stretch installed, haven't had to do this for some time.

As you most likely have two sound cards, one on-board and one with the
video card (HDMI) it may be worthwhile installing pasystray as this may
give you better control over which card you want to use, lots of
options to reset sink, add modules etc. It helped me solve sound issues
in the past when switching between on-board headphones and HDMI to the
TV so worth a try at least.



Thanks for the suggestion.

Here's what happens:

comp@AbNormal:~$ /usr/bin/pasystray
** Message: volume:53085

Then nothing.



To get my sound working after a reboot I have to 'sudo alsactl init'.
And then I load alsamixer, choose my soundcard and turn all bars up to
100%.

Maybe this would help solve your problem?

Sharon.



Many thanks to all who replied to my cry for help.

I managed to stumble on the solution by un-muting the master in alsamixer.

In my experience, problems like this are nearly always problems
in software selection of output and/or mixer volumes.

The card that you are selecting there is an HDMI audio
controller, which means that it is a sound card which only
outputs through the HDMI connection going to a TV or video
monitor. Is that what you are expecting?

If, as is more usual, you are expecting to output through 1/8"
stereo jacks to self-powered speakers or 1/8" line-level stereo
to an amplifier, you need to select that sound card and use it.

aplay -L should give you a list of possible outputs, one of
which  you can then feed to speaker-test via -D to test.

Then you can set this in /etc/asound.conf as a default. Mine
says

defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 3
defaults.ctl.card 0

surround71:CARD=SB,DEV=0
HDA ATI SB, ALC887-VD Analog
7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers

and, this is what I get from aadebug:

0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB

  HDA ATI SB at 0xfe30 irq 16

also, that is what alsamixer is giving as the default.

So my degree of mental entropy is high and increasing (a thermodynamic 
requirement for an allowed process).


Your further comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a sound card with the same chip. I noticed that on your
screenshot some channels are muted ("front" for example). Here is a
screenshot with my audio settings.

http://test2.oles.biz/alsa.png

Just try to unmute muted channels.

HTH

Kind regards
Georgi


Thanks for the reply's.  The problem was my bad for not noticing which 
channels were muted on the Audio Mixer.


I have the sound back, but it can be best described as snap, crackle and 
pop!  I have noticed that if I mute the Headphone channel everything 
else is muted.


A screenshot is attached.

Thanks in advance

Re: Sound Problem

If you had your sound set to one speaker system, it could have moved 
back to the old default speaker system with the 3.5mm jack.  That's what 
happened to me last night while playing in tintin-alteraeon and the 
speaker I had configured just threw out a tremendous amount of static 
instead of the speech it was providing before when this system change 
happened.

Hi,

I have a sound card with the same chip. I noticed that on your
screenshot some channels are muted ("front" for example). Here is a
screenshot with my audio settings.

Just try to unmute muted channels.

without any additional input we can only guess

1. some volume control is too low
2. pulse audio and alsamixer settings
3. wrong card reference (messed up controlls)
4. using the wrong output (line out vs head phone jack)

paste output of amixer and lspci | grep Audio

A couple weeks ago when I was looking for a possible way to fix things
for my Ideapad I happened to come across some threads on kernel
developer's lists where I saw (to my surprise) that Intel actually seems
to have several people working on this and other Intel-related issues
(at least their mail addresses n...@intel.com seemed to suggest they work
for intel).
I also noticed that when I tried the latest 4.7rc kernel that the error
messages during boot have become less, which also seems to indicate that
things are going ahead (still so far no audio here and a few other things
also still missing).
I guess anything that we can do for now with such a device is to make
sure we have the latest efi/bios installed, and keep the
firmware/microcode and kernel packages up to date and hope for the best,
but at least I think there is still hope.

Regards

Michael

I just use the stock

you seem to think that reinstalling pulse wd be a good idea. cd you
tell me more of yr thinking on this?  i see a lot of stuff on the
internet about debian+pulse problems and so am hesitant.


]Did you configure your sound card to have
X number of speakers AND mike (mono or stereo) input?


how do i configure the sound card?


Did you run
alsamixer to be sure it wasn't muted??


yes


Pulse rides on top of alsa, so if
alsa has the mike muted, pulse can not overrule alsa. Package upgrades
can break things once in awhile.


what kind of upgrade cd have caused pulse microphone to suddenly stop working?

thanks again for helping me.


No problem! I've used pulse for sometime. and with some strange audio
adapters.

First, again pulse is on top of alsa, so if alsa fails, pulse fails harder.

Second, plain-jane audio uses that work with alsa, works just peachy
with alsa, unless you start using settings like .asound which call
directly to alsa, then pulse is shoved under the bus. No setting files
at all when using pulse.

Third, pavucontrol will show you your audio sources live. If there is
sound input then the input tab page will show the audio level with a
volume level meter. IF you see no movement, then sound is not appearing
to pulse for you to use. You can use that to set the volume level too.

IF your application uses OSS then there is a pulse module to convert OSS
to alsa/pulse. OR, launch your program in a terminal window with padsp
program name and it will FORCE sound to be directed to alsa/pulse.
Kino will only run now with the command: padsp kino

Same with output sound, you should have configured your outputs with the
configuration tab, and then select the output device on the playback
page. I have USB stereo output headphone with mono mike input. And, I
have a USB 7.1 audio device which is connected to a 7.1 speaker setup.
So, when I playback through a program, like VLC, I can change between
the two ON THE FLY! with pavucontrol playback tab. I just click and change.

I have my onboard sound device turned OFF in the bios, as I don't use
it. If you use your's make sure it is ON in the bios. This should be
enough to have pulse and alsa setup and ready to go. Again, if you see
no sound level, during playback or recording, something is muted in alsa
or the stream is in another format. If it's Skype then google up on what
module needs to be added to pulse. Enjoy! Ric

Ric,

BAD MIC!  ;o(

i was mislead into thinking it was good. i was using the mic with
windows skype and skype was picking up my voice so i assumed the mic
was working.  wrong!  skype was picking up my voice from the
computer's internal mic.

i had reinstalled pulse after my previous response to yr email and
indeed, as the debian pulse page says, it 'just worked.' the mic
however was a different matter.

thanks again for your help.

 Can you try from a live CD, hopefully, rule out hardware (or
 software!)
 
 Are you sure your card does not require firmware?
 
 

Thanks for your reply.  Actually, I had run the tests that I reported
as root as well as sudo and got the same response = no sound.

However, I started to rerun the tests, as per your suggestion, and
miraculously, sound started working! Now, from a scientific viewpoint,
I believe in serendipity, but not in miracles.  However, I willing to
accept the fact that the speaker in now generating intelligible sound.

Ping works, as does the sound in a browser. Pink noise generated in
speaker-test is a roaring hiss, not the sound that I get when I access
pink noise in youtube. I can accept that because I subscribe to the
adage that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', and the lesser spoken
corollary 'If it ain't broke, fix it it it will be'. There is a problem
with Skype. The speaker works, but the microphone doesn't.  I do have a
clue. Before the HD crash and subsequent installation of the OS on the
new HD the microphone setting (that worked allowing a video call) was:

USB Device 0x46d:0x807, USB Audio (hw:2,0)

Now, in the reinstalled Skype version, that worked before, on the new
OS. there are a number of audio settings, the one most similar to the
one that worked is:

USB Device 0x46d:0x807, USB Audio (hw:1,0)  

note the only difference.  The question becomes, how do I change
(hw:1,0) to (hw:2.0?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Larry,

I am using rcconf to control, which processes should be started at boot. It is 
easy to use (nice ncurses GUI), so you can easy try things and can easy switch

Re: sound problem

[Andrea Neroni]

 Today, after 146 days, I finally got around to rebooting using the
 2.6.30-2-686 kernel. This enables the udev upgrade *but* I get no sound.
 When I reboot using the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel sound works as it's supposed
 to but the udev upgrade will have to wait.

 Why would I get no sound with 2.6.30-2-686? What logfile can I look at
 that might give a clue?


I had this problem too whit my sound card Audigy 2ZS.
In my case the solution was to disable the modem integrated in the motherboard 
from the bios menu.
Note that also the motherboard sound card must be disabled if you use an 
external card like Audigy.

If this is a lenny system you should rather use 2.6.30 from backports, 
because it was compiled for lenny.

 Why would I get no sound with 2.6.30-2-686? What logfile can I look at

 No good at all, now even KDE's startup tunes don't work anymore

Did ALSA throw any errors when running alsaconf? What does your the
log entries show at that time? Have you checked the mixer settings to
ensure that volume isn't simply muted?

 alsaconf is not working.

Okay, I don't know what the problem is, but maybe I can give some suggestions.

Are you saying you think that somewhere in the upgrading and
downgrading the auto-detection seemed to fail?

You can also check in the BIOS of your computer to make sure that the
onboard sound hardware is enabled.  If it's not enabled alsaconf won't
detect it.

If you run the command lspci can you see your sound card?  All PCI
sound cards should show up there.  It will say multimedia device, I
think.  If it shows up then at least we'll know, uhm, something.  If
it doesn't it's possible you have an ISA card.

Also, did you change Plug and Play settings in your BIOS recently?

That's all I can think of for now.

 Hey, all.

 The sound abruptly stopped working on a Lenny KDE installation on my

 fine with. I'm running a stock Lenny PowerPC kernel, and can't find  
 anything in the APT logs about software changes which might have  
 affected this.

 At startup, pbbuttonsd complains that it can't find /dev/mixer, and aRts 
 complains it can't find /dev/dsp (in both cases, ls -l can't find them 
 either). Similarly, amixer info says it is unable to find any devices. 
 Nothing in KInfoCenter, lspci or Apple's System Profiler seems to give 
 any information on any sound hardware.

 I've tried a dpkg-reconfigure of aRts, reinstalling the arts and  
 libasound2 packages, and installing alsa-tools, without success.

 Does anyone have any other ideas?

Try (as root):

modprobe snd_pcm_oss

If that works then you can add snd_pcm_oss to /etc/modules to make sure
that it is loaded at every boot.

/home/lestat/.kde/socket-comex should be a symlink to

thanks Jonathan, but have altready done that. And tried both as root and

it is something very trivial, but i am clueless as to what else needs to
be done. I cannot get sound on vlc or xmms either though i can play the

thanks and regards,

 Hi Arvind,
 Sorry to be asking the obvious but... have you checked your mixer? Alsa is
 notorious for its default muting behaviour. For example, the pcm setting
 often starts off at zero and you have to manually raise it to a reasonable
 level to hear sound. If you haven't checked, it may be worth a try.
 Cheers,
 Jonathan

Hmmm,
I think you said you ran alsaconf (must be done as root). Can you try it
again and tell me/us (the list) what the output is. Make sure that
everything goes normally. I have never seen/heard of a case where
alsaconf detects your card correctly and then installs the driver and

jumping in the middle here so excuse me if I restate what has already
been done.

1. check the blindingly obvious -- speakers plugged in? to both the
   wall and machine, if appropriate, and to the right output on the
   sound card? are you sure there is not some stupid thing like: the
   rear jacks only work when their are front jacks connected, or when
   you set this jumper (had that happen once, took me days to figure
   out, stupid design).

2. does sound work in some other os?

3. what output do you get running a command line player like aplay,
   alsaplayer or mplayer from the cli?

Re: Sound problem

[Trace Green]

Strake,


Let me tell you how to deal with sound card problem as I know.


I will show you my computer's configure as example.


1. lspci and you will see your sound card config info, mine is :

 :00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM
AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

 you will find a string like ":00:1f.5"


2. lspci -n and get the string contail info like ":00:1f.5"(you
have your own)

 :00:1f.5 0401: 8086:2485 (rev 02)

 also, you will get "8086:2485"(of course, you will have your own)


3. less /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap and you will
see a lot of info about all kinds of modules.

 please pay attention to the info of "0x8086 0x2485"(you just
have your own), and you will find the module

 you should load. Mine is "snd-intel8x0"


4. modprobe it. Of course you should remove all sound card driver
first.


5. You can also try to check whether kernel contain this module, find
it in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/. If you can find the name
in modules.pcimap, kernel contains this module as usual.


If you don' find certain module, that means alsa don't support your
sound card. You may try to reinstall your alsa

If you can't read sound card info(vendid, etc), it means kernel don't
know it.



All above is my experience, share with you and best wishes.

I'm really sorry.  It still behaves the same.  I did run alsamixer, and

aplay on some things in the :/usr/share/apps/kolf/sounds# directory.  
They seem to process, but I get no sound.

Yeah, I know.  Specifically, I have the same behavior as before.  The 
aplay yields no sound.  The CD player shows it running along songs on a 
Duke Ellington disk, but no sound comes out.  Again I tried my other set 
of speakers and nothing.  All behavior is the same.  No sound.

Ok, Xeno get some rest. You've earned it. Here are some things to try.
1. Reboot and see what the boot up messages are regarding alsa. If it
scrolls by to fast you can see them by typing dmesg at the command line.
Is alsa installing correctly? I would guess not based on the unresolved
symbols msgs you are getting when you run alsaconf.
2. Assuming the worst, i.e. alsa is not installed correctly then get
ready for some fun. In my experience the unresolved symbols msgs result
from the alsa module being out of synch with the kernel you are using.
Even the tiniest change of the kernel will have this effect. I got it
when I went from 2.6.8-15 to 2.6.8-16 (or something like that). You have
to compile the alsa-driver package yourself. But why oh why oh why are
you using the 2.4 kernel? To spare yourself a lot of grief why not just
upgrade your kernel to 2.6.8 (see the list archives for how to do this -
but IT IS EASY - far easier than sticking with your 2.4 kernel) and it
will work.
3. If you really want to go ahead with your 2.4 kernel let us know and
I'll carry on with instructions. When you get up tomorrow you might want
to look at this:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intelcard=Soundtrack+Audio+DSP+24.chip=440MX%2C+i810%2C+i810%2C+i810E%2C+i820%2C+i820module=intel8x0

Let me preface this post with an apology for inappropriately sending to 
private emails without checking rather than just directly to the list.  
I'll make an effort to be more careful in the future.


I have now got the kernel updated to a -686 thing, and have the 
corresponding modules, ...
it seems I still have to figure out the alsa file stuff from the 
configuration page.  Nothing works yet, but I do have a mess of 
configuration stuff to check 
(http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/alsa.html#sargestock).  Rebooting with 
the new kernel and
modules got the lsmod listing with snd-* files, but no sound yet.  I'm 
trying to follow the instructions on this link:  
(http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/alsa.html#sargestock).  I seem to have 
everything in order.  I've attached my /etc/modules.conf file in case 
that is of interest.  I would sure appreciate further feedback on this.  
I also did the chmod a+rw setting specified on that instruction page.  I 
know this is a drag guys, but I'd appreciate more feedback if you can 
stand it.


Sincerely, Xeno

 I've got three jacks together on my T3985 (Celeron system with all the


stuff in the motherboard):

  My new debian system doesn't relay any sound to my speakers.  I've
tried two sets of speakers, and both sets work on my other system's cd
drive jack.  The sound plug area in the back of my new system has three
holes, and the line out output is the same green plastic as the male
part on the wire to the speakers.  The other two holes say MIC (orange)
and line out (light blue).  Another system I recently tried to
install
linux on also could not put sound out and it also had the same three
jack holes (apparently that's popular now?).  I wonder if the driver
expects only one or two holes and is confused by seeing three?

I've looked at some postings about problems like this, and none
seems to
match mine exactly.  One said the guy could play on root, but I tried
that with cdplay start on this, and it still didn't make noise.  I'm
not
sure what else to look for.

I think the special files are /dev/dsp*,  and I changed these to
protection 666.  I run CD Player
to test the sound and it runs and identifies a Duke Ellington CD, but
the sound just don't come out even though it shows the CD playing.

I'm not sure if the drivers for audio are all there.  The only thing I
see is something called soundcore, but perhaps that's all that's
needed:
  


snip
Dear Xeno,
I'm running Debian Etch and have a similar 3 plug arrangement in back.
One for the mike and sound left, sound right. It might help if you gave
us a bit of info on your system. Which Debian are you running? Have you
installed alsa (lots of postings about how to do that). The more info
you give the easier it is to help.
Jonathan
 


I'm running Sarge, and I just installed it this weekend.  I did
install alsa, but I don't know if the test program I'm running is an
alsa program.  It's the CD Player in the multimedia pulldown, which
seemed like the simplest one to try (and there is another thats a
command line one I
tried.)

I think you guys don't like attachments, otherwise I could attach the

Thanks for any feedback. Sincerely, Xeno

Re: Sound problem: My green output jack doesn't relay any data.

[Jonathan Kaye]

En/La Xeno Campanoli ha escrit, a 27/06/05 07:50:
 I've got three jacks together on my T3985 (Celeron system with all the
 stuff in the motherboard):
 
My new debian system doesn't relay any sound to my speakers.  I've
 tried two sets of speakers, and both sets work on my other system's cd
 drive jack.  The sound plug area in the back of my new system has three
 holes, and the line out output is the same green plastic as the male
 part on the wire to the speakers.  The other two holes say MIC (orange)
 and line out (light blue).  Another system I recently tried to install
 linux on also could not put sound out and it also had the same three
 jack holes (apparently that's popular now?).  I wonder if the driver
 expects only one or two holes and is confused by seeing three?
 
 I've looked at some postings about problems like this, and none seems to
 match mine exactly.  One said the guy could play on root, but I tried
 that with cdplay start on this, and it still didn't make noise.  I'm not
 sure what else to look for.
 
 I think the special files are /dev/dsp*,  and I changed these to
 protection 666.  I run CD Player
 to test the sound and it runs and identifies a Duke Ellington CD, but
 the sound just don't come out even though it shows the CD playing.
 
 I'm not sure if the drivers for audio are all there.  The only thing I
 see is something called soundcore, but perhaps that's all that's needed:

Dear Xeno,
I'm running Debian Etch and have a similar 3 plug arrangement in back.
One for the mike and sound left, sound right. It might help if you gave
us a bit of info on your system. Which Debian are you running? Have you
 installed alsa (lots of postings about how to do that). The more info
you give the easier it is to help.

 I was trying a sample audio project and I am getting the following error:
 
 open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy
 Couldn't open audio: No available audio device
 
 however my sound system works fine on kde and other applications.
 
 also, the Blender worked on windows and suse9.1 on the same PC.
 
 Anyone have the same problem?

You'll have to kill your sound server. either esd or artsd (i think
arts is kde default).

Blender wants direct access to the sound device(s) and it can't get it
when the sound daemon is using it.

 make sure that hotplug, alsa-base and discover1 are installed
 with the latest versions ***so that the OSS driver are not loaded. Use
 lsmod to check if maybe this is the problem. I think the OSS driver
 name is i810_audio.

It gets loaded by default at boot because the Intel 8x0 driver could
not be found.

 kernel: i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0x9000 and 0x9400, 
MEM 0x and 0x, IRQ 193
 kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
 kernel: i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.

 kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ADS112 (Unknown)
 kernel: i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 6  

The initial reply to this advice failed to get to its intended
destination.

Fortunately, because the information that it contained was probably
beside the point.

The short story is that the CD that came with my (newly acquired)
computer is designed for installing drivers in a Windows environment. It
appears to lack the sound driver needed to persuade the hardware to
work with Debian

And the only clue that I have discovered is:


00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems 
   [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev a0)
 Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 80b0


The only other (possibly relevant) information is that Asustek is the
Asia-Pacific subsidiary of ASUS Computers (the German subsidiary is in
Ratingen).

Attempts to contact Asustek Computer Inc. for information generated a
prompt (automated) response that I found unhelpful.

All advice will be gratefully received.

 why eSound works and alsa doesn't and what it is ?

I think esound is the elightened sound daemon, esd, which provides
sound mixing services, basically.  I suppose if esd is running, other
apps can't bind directly to /dev/dsp but have to go through esd.

my box doesn't have sound working at the moment, so I'm just remembering
this stuff, I may be up the creek.

 discover1 is optional.  You can also install discover (instead of
 discover1). Current (= 2.0.6-1) versions of discover refrain from
 loading OSS modules if alsa-base (= 1.0.7-1) has been installed.

As I wrote the same works with discover1. The last time I installed
Sarge, discover1 was part of the base system, discover was not. Did
this change in the meantime?

What outplug plugin does xmms use? Maybe you need to switch to the ALSA

should be loaded automatically, but maybe you need to install
alsa-oss). Also make sure the OSS driver has not been loaded.

 Hello


 If it is a sound card and ALSA drivers are installed,. 

There is the problem!

Regrettably, the solution is not clear to me from studying the supplied
documentation.


The relevant output (now produced by KDE) reads:

Sound Driver: 3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v 1.04 emulation code)
Kernel Linux 2.6.8-1-386 #1
Installed drivers Type 10 ALSA emulation
Card config No soundcard 

And the Install-CD supplied by the soundcard manufacturer is primarily
designed to be used in conjunction with Windows OSs.  The CD does
have _one_ entry relating to Linux but this is mainly concerned with
installing ALSA on kernel 2.2 and is, presumably irrelevant.

The package does include the following modules.conf file - which
looks promising:

On a Debian system, don't edit /etc/modules.conf. Your changes will be
overwritten sooner or later. Instead edit a file in /etc/modutils, in
your case I recommend /etc/modutils/sound, which is the file alsaconf
would creat. Add the following entries (if snd-intel8x0 is the correct
driver, use lspci and dmesg to get more information):

alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=ICH

(I have no idea it the snd_id option is correct that way, I just took it
from your example above)

After making the changes, run update-modules. If you use kernel 2.6
instead of 2.4 (which you apparently do), edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound
instead. Make sure /etc/modprobe.conf is not present (remove it if the
file is there), and also make sure that hotplug, alsa-base and
discover1 are installed with the latest versions so that the OSS driver
are not loaded. Use lsmod to check if maybe this is the problem. I
think the OSS driver name is i810_audio.

All correct so far.


 and also make sure that hotplug, alsa-base and discover1

discover1 is optional.  You can also install discover (instead of discover1).
Current (= 2.0.6-1) versions of discover refrain from loading OSS modules
if alsa-base (= 1.0.7-1) has been installed.

 If you found out which driver you need, add a line:

 to /etc/modutils/aliases or you own file in /etc/modutils, and run
 update-modules.

A belated followup - there is a time delay because my messages are routed
via the gmane newsgroup.  So this may be old hat.

The above answer - for which I am grateful - may also hold the key to my
problem (posted and present in the same day's downloads).

On my box, the driver is recognised and loaded at boot. But it may need
configuration tweaks.  So my question remains and has just received an added
dimension  - namely, the suggested entry is absent. 

So where do I look for the needed information for the name of the
module.

If it is a sound card and ALSA drivers are installed, run lsmod and look
for modules beginning with snd. Also run lspci (if it is a PCI device).
The name of the device/chip often also is part of the driver name. And
of course, use Google Groups and the list archive at lists.debian.org.

FWIW, I've NEVER managed to get sound working in debian without 
recompiling the kernel to include the core sound module (sndcore?) in 
the kernel itself. I've been using debian since 1996, and that is the 
only thing that has ever worked for me.

I've read the replies from Nicos Gollan, Andreas Janssen and Eric van 
der Paardt, and I know I've tried all of those solutions in the past 
without success. Always that same Device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No 
such device) message. So if their solutions don't work for you, try 
mine and I think it will work.

Of all the things one has to set up in debian, sound is the hardest to 
get working. Why is that, people? Is it a Swedish thing (I notice the 
original poster is in Sweden like myself) :-)?

This means the driver has not been loaded. First of all, I suggest you
upgrade to kernel 2.4.18-1 if you still use the default installation
kernel 2.2.20-idepci, because the installation kernel lacks some
drivers you may need to get sound working. Next, find out which driver
you need (if you use a PCI sound card or onboard chip, run lspci to get
more information). Searching Google Groups using the name and terms
like linux module mostly works. If you found out which driver you
need, add a line:

alias sound-slot-0 modulename

to /etc/modutils/aliases or you own file in /etc/modutils, and run
update-modules. Next, add yourself to the audio group:

adduser thomas audio

Log out and in again. That should be all you need to do.

 Any tips? 

you are probably using alsa as a driver.

check /proc/asound for a card.

also the default for alsa is to mute things.

either run alsamixer, you may need to be
root but i am guessing that since you are
in the audio group that would suffice.
or you can grab the gnome-alsamixer package
for a nice gui, and unmute things like
the master, pcm, cdrom channels.

 Shortly after switching to 2.6 I began using my on-board sound, as it
 required alsa, but still no luck. The sound works fine with other
 applications. I really don't think it's hardware related, as I lost
 flash sound on a completely different machine when switching to the 2.6
 kernel.


load the pcm emulation. (module snd_pcm_oss) Flash is probably trying
to access /dev/dsp instead of using alsa output.

Eventuell KDE/aRTs geladen??? Wenn ja, blockiert aRTs die Soundkarte und die 
Fehlermeldung wäre erklärbar. Auch das du die Audio-CD hören kannst, z.B. 
über ein KDE-Prog oder eines mit aRTs-Unterstützung.
Ähnliches gilt auch für Gnome (AFAIK gstreamer(?)).
Benutze einfach Prog mit entsprechenden Ausgabeplugins oder schalte die 
Soundserver ab, um direkten Zugriff zur Soundkarte zu kriegen.

Hmmm, Systemklaenge... das hoert sich fuer mich nach Klaengen, die
von einem der Desktopsysteme (KDE, GNOME, XCFE) ausgehen. Denn ein
moeglicher Ansatzpunkt waere der jeweilige Sounddaemon (z.B. unter
Gnome werkelt esound) des Desktopsystems, der u. U. noch nicht bzw
fehlerhaft konfigurert ist. Funktuniert PCM nur unter X (samt der
Desktopumgebung) nicht, oder hoerst du auch unter der Console nichts.
Dass du AudioCDs abspielen kannst ist kein Indiz dafuer, da das nicht
ueber PCM laeuft.

Als du versuchtes diese WAV auf das device dsp auszugeben, lief da
irgendeiner dieser Sounddaemonen im Hintergrund, denn dass wuerde die
Meldung 'Das Geraet oder die Ressource ist belegt' erklaeren.

IMO kannst du  ohnehin keine WAV direkt auf das /dev/dsp ausgeben,
sondern nur eine AU. (Soweit ich mich richtig erinnere versuchte ich
dieses auch und entlockte entsetzliches Gekrachtzt aus den Boxen ;).
Nimm stattdessen zum Beispiel play, oder konvertier die WAV vorher mit
sox.

thanks to all who helped me out on this ( other related) thread(s)!

Wild guess:
Are you using alsa with oss emulation when running music123? If so, you 
might have loaded a kernel module that is registering /dev/dsp, thus 
preventing alsa from being able to access dsp for oss emulation.

If this is in fact the case you should see something like
unable to register OSS PCM device 0:0
unable to register OSS mixer device 0:0
in your logs.

At least I had this problem to begin with going from oss to alsa. In my 
case it was the module called audio (for usb audio) that caused me my 
problems.

Assuming you use alsa, I also believe you shouldn't load es1371 for your 
sound card. Alsa sound modules (all?) begin with 'snd_' (I suspect you 
should load snd-ens1371 instead, but I could easily be wrong).

If you don't use alsa, you can ignore this posting...

If you're running OSS (which it looks like you are), you need
soundcore, sound, and es1371 (and maybe ac97_codec, dunno, depends
on your card).

If you're running ALSA, you need soundcore + the relevant ALSA
modules.  soundcore is common to both OSS and ALSA.


 es1371
 (which is what I think I need for my Ensoniq) is in /etc/modules, but
 it's not getting loaded; there's nothing i can see in dmesg,
 /var/log/messages, or /var/log/syslog that's relevant.

Create a file in /etc/default called bootlogd.  Edit
/etc/default/bootlogd so that it says:

# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

You will then get files in /var/log with names like boot, boot.0,
etc.; these will contain logs of what the /etc/init.d scripts
do during the boot process.  The actions of those scripts aren't
normally logged in dmesg.


 So i try to modprobe it in by hand, and get the following output:
 
 /lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o:
 init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by
 incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
   You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

 No such device? What device?  I have all the /dev/dsps:
 
 crw-rw1 root audio 14,   3 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp
 crw-rw1 root audio 14,   3 Apr 14  2001 /dev/dsp0

 crw-rw1 root audio 14,  35 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp2
 crw-rw1 root audio 14,  51 Jun 22 00:53 /dev/dsp3

Try modprobing soundcore first, then sound, *then* es1371.  Yes,
modprobe should take care of those dependencies; but you might learn
something from any messages that occur earlier, dunno.

/lib/modules/2.4.20+nori-orange_15652/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o

(yes, i rolled this one myself)

but, the same thing for soundcore returns nothing.  in fact, the
only soundcore modules i have are under different kernels:

/lib/modules/2.4.18-386_199/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o
/lib/modules/2.4.4/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o

there's a sound_core under a bunch of directories in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20, but nothing else similar.

Does this mean that somehow, in the building of my kernel (which, I
should add, I've been using for at least a year without any problem),
I left out the crucial module soundcore, and will now need to go
back and reroll it (or just grab a kernel package) with it in?

Sorry, I didn't follow this issue. So if this has already been tried
excuse the duplication:

If you are using KDE (which it sounds like) go into artsd config in the

 Hello. Sometimes I've had an annoying problem when using mplayer
 (currently using 1.0pre3-3.3.3) in sid. The basic problem is that I
 eventually lose the sound while watching streaming video. Killing
 mplayer, and trying to unload/load sound modules with modconf does not
 work, since 'device or resorce busy', and I don't know what is the
 problem, since mplayer is the only program trying to use sound. My
 only solution is to reboot. Is there a cleaner way?

 A typical situation in which this happens is after succesfully
 watching streaming video for over an hour (like yesterday!), data
 download gets slower. That could be a server problem (I started
 watching at about 7pm, Chilean time, and then problems appeared at
 about 9pm, when probably more people was connecting to the server).
 Since the video stopped, I killed mplayer, restarted it, but then I
 could not get sound. I usually have to kill and restart mplayer, and I
 don't have this problem. So the thing is, rather than trying to
 identify the cause of the sound problem, I'd like to recover sound
 without rebooting. 


Do you use esd for your sound?  Sometimes esd just disappears on my
system, and I need to restart it to get sound again.

Not that I'm aware of. libesd0, esound, esound-clients, are installed, but I
don't think I'm using them. I don't use sounds in Gnome, and I don't see
anything related to esd with 'ps aux'. xmms is configured to use the OSS
driver as output plugin.

Take a look at the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist  It's pretty self

Finally figured out the config file to skip the module in question.

 You need to choose which ones you want to use, and only have those

 Then you need to make sure the OSS modules don't get modprobed.
 Since you say that this started after a dist-upgrade, I suspect

I had exactly this same problem, but disabling discover audio/sound
finding in the discover config file had no effect.  There was no way to
tell what was loading the OSS drivers, which I do not want to load.  My
solution was to rename the old OSS driver to something else so that it
could not be found.  However, the emu10k1_gp module is still loaded,
though I would probably prefer that it is not. I have no idea where to
