alsa sees my alc658D from via without problem. Did you try 'alsaconf'?


I haven't used Alsa before and haven't found any really helpful
write ups. Yes, I have tried alsaconf but it doesn't help - just
says 'no Pnp or Pci cards found' and continues to look for legacy
etc also without result.

If I run 'lspci' (blundering in the dark!), there are lots of 
'unknown devices' so the sound chip could be any one. In fact the

only two items I recognize are the ethernet controller and the
Graphics card.

What do you mean when you say your card is seen 'from via'?

Just came to this thread rather late. My experience with sound has been
exactly the same as the OP's. I spent two days wrestling with Alsa to
try to get sound working on my new Thinkpad Z61M, but in spite of much
help on this list and elsewhere I couldn't get a peep out of it. I then
tried Ubuntu and it worked instantly. And, as a bonus, the wireless
connection came up as well, which it refused to do with Debian (Sid).

AC97-Sound unter Sarge läuft nur nach ma nuellem aufruf von alsa-conf

2005-10-01 Thread Kay Martinen

Hallo.

Hardware:
PC mit MSI K7T-266A (VIA-AC97 Sound onboard)
Athlon XP 1700+
512 MB PC2100

unter Sarge

Problem: Nach dem Booten kein Sound wenn KDE/Gnome/ein Windowmanager 
startet. Wenn ich in einem terminal-fenster das alsa-conf script aufrufe 
identifiziert er die karte korrekt und nach dessen beendigung läuft der 
sound. Bis zum nächsten anmelden.


D.h. als user anmelden, script starten, sound ok.

abmelden, als root anmelden, kein sound. Script starten, sound ok.

abmelden und als user anmelden, kein sound. Script starten, sound ok.

Ich schliesse das die einstellungen nicht korrekt gespeichert werden. 
Aber wo die nun genau gespeichert werden und ob überhaupt fand ich noch 
nicht raus. Nur in /etc/modules oder auch noch woanders? Eventuell 
ausserhalb von /etc ???


Eine sache nebenbei. Ich hatte bei einer früheren windows- und debian- 
istallation versucht entweder eine soundblaster 16 (pci) oder eine sb 
128 (pci) zu betreiben. Ging aber unter windows nicht. Verzerrter Klang 
bei wave ausgabe. Unter debian woody wollten die karten auch nicht 
mitspielen. Mein Schluss damals war das die sich mit dem onboard chip 
beissen der vielleicht nicht komplett deaktivierbar ist. Deswegen sind 
die karten auch wieder raus und ich lebe mit dem onboard sound.


Ich hoffe das jemand einen Tip für mich hat.

Gruß
Kay Martinen

Re: gnome-session updated and lost sound on Sarge

Apparently, _H. S._, on 13/07/05 12:41,typed:

Sound unter Sarge KDE 3.3.1 macht massive Schwierigkeiten;-((

2005-01-07 Thread Dirk Salva
Hallo Leute,

ich hatte ja vor einigen Tagen schon von Problemen berichtet, die ich
mit KDE hatte, nachdem in Debian Sarge das KDE von 3.2.2 auf 3.3.1
hochgerüstet wurde. Diese Probleme habe ich mehr oder weniger beheben
können, in dem ich alles, was im home-Verzeichnis des Users mit KDE
zu tun haben könnte, gelöscht habe, also .kde, .mcop usw., u.a. auch
aufgrund eines kleinen, beinahe übersehenen Tip von Andreas
Pakulat;-) Letztlich habe ich quasi das Profil neu erstellen lassen.
Allerdings habe ich noch ein anderes, sehr sehr ärgerliches Problem,
welches sich dadurch nicht hat beheben lassen (unter 3.2.2 trat das
nicht auf):

Spiele ich einen Sound ab und der wird tatsächlich hörbar abgespielt,
und ich spiele innerhalb von 15s erneut einen Sound ab, so höre ich
letzteren sofort. Spiele ich ihn erst nach 20s ab, habe ich ziemlich
genau 7s Verzögerung! Häh?

Ebenso ist mir aufgefallen, daß ich von der Datei
/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep.ogg (das ist der beep, wenn man in konsole
einen beep verursacht) überhaupt rein gar nichts höre, egal was ich
mache. Sie wird zwar angeblich abgespielt, aber man hört nix.
Andere .ogg-Dateien lassen sich problemlos abspielen. Ich habe auch
mal probehalber exakt diese Datei übers Netz per sftp von einem
anderen Rechner mit KDE 3.2.2 geholt und ausgetauscht, das Ergebnis
ist immer noch, daß ich nichts höre, wenn ich sie abspiele (also
liegt es schonmal nicht an der Datei)?!?

Ob ich dabei im Kontrollzentrum (Sound und Multimedia-Sound-System)
artsd automatisch abschalten nach 60s Inaktivität
[ ] oder [x] auswähle ist egal.
Ebenso ist es egal, ob das Programm /usr/bin/artswrapper ohne SUID
oder mit läuft (wie es von aRTs-Steuerung verlangt wird, wenn man
dort auf Ansicht-aRTs-Status geht, aber standardmäßig nicht gesetzt
ist). Wenn ich SUID dort allerdings setze, dann hängt der Rechner
genau so lange, bis der Sound tatsächlich abgespielt wird.

Ich kapier einfach nicht, was da schiefläuft. Jedenfalls kann ich
z.B. kopete so nur sehr schlecht nutzen, weil jegliche klangliche
Unterstützung fehlt bzw. unbrauchbar ist.

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand einen Lösungsansatz hätte
oder gar wüßte, woran das nun wieder liegt, denn ich weiß jetzt
absolut nicht mehr weiter!?!

Ach ja: der Rechner ist ein AMD K6-III 400 mit 640MB RAM, Soundkarte
ist eine uralte Soundblaster-16 ISA. Als Kernel läuft 2.6.8-1-386
(original Debian Sarge), bis gestern mit oss, aufgrund der Probleme
habe ich mal alsa installiert (und zum Laufen gebracht), allerdings
hatte ich mir schon vorher gedacht, daß es daran nicht liegen kann,
den _grundsätzlich_ geht Sound ja.

Und: mit KDE 3.2.2 hat das alles *fehlerfrei* funktioniert.


ciao, Dirk
P.S.: bevor jemand meckert: ich habe das Gleiche auch in
de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde gepostet, im Grunde mehr aus Verzweiflung,
da ich keine Ahnung habe, wo's diesmal hakt, aber stark vermute, daß
es an KDE liegt (und vielleicht trotzdem Debian-spezifisch ist?!?).
Und es lesen nunmal nicht alle Spezialisten hier und dort.

I am not a member of the list because my internet connection is far

Instead, I post to the list via gmane.linux.debian.user and download 
only the headers of all the postings to the list in the first instance.  
From these I flag the bodies of postings for a subsequent download.

Both my From: address and my Reply-To: are supposed to be gmane
addresses and encrypted; only gmane is supposed to know my real

From: | Reply-To: entry.

I am grateful for the advice and will seek to remedy it - if it turns
out that things are not working as they should.

PS: After sleeping on the above reply, the penny dropped.

My email-reader can be (and is) configured to distinguish between 
emails from lists and personal emails.  And it asks if the reply

I appreciate that people who use other email readers may not be
so fortunate.  But, as explained above, there is little I can do 
about that.

That means sndconfig is only for 2.4.x kernels and before -- the new .ko 
 end is new in 2.6.x kernels;
Install hotplug and/or discover and your PC will probably autodetect 
which modules to use

 You need to load the driver for your sound card. If you use Kernel
 2.6, installing discover and/or hotplug can probably do that. You can
 also load it at boot time by adding the module name to /etc/modules.
 To do that, you have of course to find out which driver you need. Use

 drivers, install the alsa-base package and run alsaconfig. After
 loading the driver, make sure you are in the audio group.
 
 Most Alsa-divers are already in the Kernel, I know for the
 Sound-blaster Live 5.1 I am using I could pick it when I compiled the
 kernel.

Right, but the alsa-base package does not contain any drivers anyway.
But it does have some utilities, like an init script to save/restore
the mixer settings and alsaconf to set up your module configuration
properly.

Are you a member of the audio group? If not, this might just be a 
permissions error.

But more likely, your sound module has not been installed. Run lspci 
to see what sound chipset you have, then run modconf to insert the 
appropriate module for that chipset.

Alsa sound initializes to muted. Yup. Run one of the alsa mixers (alsamix, 
aslamixgui, etc) and raise the volumes as required, see if this works).

There is a bug on latest sid and these setting, which used to be saved and 
restored, are now lost. So each login, you may need to repeat until this is 
fixed.

Typical problems are:

- no write access to audio device files
Add yourself to the audio group, log out and in again

- volume set to 0, channels muted
Install and use mixer (e.g. amix)

Also check dmesg to see if the device driver reports any errors when it
is loaded.

Are you using ALSA or ARTS for sound output?
If it's ALSA the driver might be bugged check the alsa site for details on
how to fix it. I remember that there is also one channel you have to
disable in KMix to make it work. Had a similar problem with a mates box
using Fedora Core II IIRC. I also think that channels are switched too you
might have to increase the volume somewhere else than the volume channel.

there is a program called alsactl (on my machine it is in /usr/sbin/, so
it is not in my PATH, but everyone does have execute privileges ??)

but you could do a alsactl store on logout and a alsactl restore on

perhaps grep /etc/ for alsactl or google for kde alsactl. check out

Correct. The alsactl init script loads volume settings at boot time,
and, if configured to do so, saves them when you shut down the
computer. However by default the KDE sound system also restores the
volume settings when you log in, but does not automatically store them
when you log out. Because of this everytime you log in KDE loads the
wrong settings. To solve the problem, either

start kde, execute /etc/init.fd/alsactl start, open
kcontrol=Sound=Mixer and save the settings you want so KDE will
restore them from now on

or

open kcontrol=Sound=Mixer and uncheck Load automatically or whatever
it is called in the english version of KDE

Kein Sound unter Sarge ( und ein bisschen Sid )

2004-06-04 Thread Jochen Heller
Hallo Liste,

bitte gib mir einer einen Tip wonach ich suchen muss.

Nachdem ich nun einige Tage voller Neugier und Spaß mit Sarge, Gnome 2.6
und ( erstmal ) Kernel 2.6.3-1-k7 rumexperimentiert, bleibt neben
anderen Kleinigkeiten, mein Hauptproblem die Sound-Konfiguration. Zwar
hatte ich sie, durch einen seltsamen Zufall korrekt am Laufen, aber
irgendetwas ist vorgefallen, ich glaube nachdem ich den MPlayer von pre4
auf 3.96 zurückgesetzt hab, kann den genauen Hergang aber leider nicht
mehr so ganz nachvollziehen.

Mein Soundmodul ist das intel_i8x0. Konfiguriert hatte ich das bisher (
2.4er-Kernel ) über modconf und danach lief immer alles. Nachdem ich nun
erstmal ein bisschen suchen musste, hab ich dann das Modul unter
sound/oss gefunden. Doch danach gab er erstmal keinen Ton von sich.
Einem Hinweis, den ich ergoogelt hab, folgend, hatte ich alsa
installiert und alsaconf durchlaufen lassen. Danach hörte ich
witzigerweise schonmal den Gnome-login-sound, aber nichts anderes. 
*am-kopf-kratz*

Rumkonfiguriererei meinerseits half nicht weiter, erst nachdem ich
irgendein Programm, mag es xine gewesen sein, ich weiß nicht mehr genau,
installiert hatte, zog er sich scheinbar die fehlenden Teile, oder
konfigurierte sich daraufhin korrekt, zumindest lief es auf einmal. :-))

Heute wollte ich besagten MPlayer der nicht funktioniert von testing
ziehen, hab ich auch ( also erst apt-get remove, dann apt-get install ),
danach war mein PC wieder stumm. Nix hat bisher geholfen. :-((

Wer mir also die Nase auf mein Problem stoßen kann bzw. einen Ort im
Netz, bei dem ich mir die Anweisung nachlesen kann, wie ich zu Fuß den
Sound konfiguriere, würde mir sehr weiterhelfen. Ich hatte jetzt erstmal
nix gefunden - aber wie gesagt, ich brauche den Tip für das treffende
Suchwort. ( Auch würde mich ein Hinweis interessieren, wieso der Login
musikalisch ist aber danach alles stumm bleibt. )

Vielen Dank schonmal im Voraus

This looks like alsa-xmms predepends on xmms, which is hardly surprising.
Xmms has a myriad of these.

alsa-xmms, no such package, quite emphatically.

Not gospel, but it looks as though alsa-xmms is an integral part of the

You may have to install xmms to get it. I can't think of any other
reason as to why your package manager would respond by installing an
apparently unrequested package otherwise.

David,

 In view of what you said, I decided to install 'xmms' (if 
necessary I
could always purge it).

The install log shows what the problem was:-

--
[snip]
Version: 1.2.10-1
Replaces: x11ampg, x11amp, xmms-vorbis, alsa-xmms
Provides: mp3-decoder, x11ampg, x11amp, xmms-vorbis, alsa-xmms
Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libglib1.2 (= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (= 
1.2.10-4), xlibs ( 4.1.0) | libice6, xlibs ( 4.1.0) | libsm6, xlibs 
( 4.1.0) | libx11-6, xlibs ( 4.1.0) | libxext6, xlibs ( 4.1.0) | 
libxi6
Recommends: libasound2 ( 1.0.0), libaudiofile0 (= 0.2.3-4), libesd0

libogg0 (= 1.1.0), libvorbis0a (= 1.0.1), libvorbisfile3 (= 1.0.1), 
xlibmesa3-gl | libgl1, zlib1g (= 1:1.2.1)
Suggests: unzip
Conflicts: x11ampg, x11amp, xmms-vorbis, alsa-xmms

Again, thanks for pointing the way.

Regards,			John.

Sound on Sarge

2004-04-22 Thread john gennard
I am trying to install sound, using Alsa, in Sarge. There is plenty of
information available (esp. on this list) and I've found a doc titled
Debian, a Custom Kernel, and ALSA written by Rob Knop and
dated 30/11/2003 in which he refers to a package 'alsa-xmms'.
This I cannot find anywhere. Can anyone help please?
John.

Here you can find a lot of alsa plugins:

Hello John,

alsa-xmms is definitely in the pool.
I was going through dselect last night and saw it there, so it is 
definitely available.
apt-get update
apt-get install alsa-xmms
should install it for you.
Regards,

David.

I had tried that, David, and only got the offer of 'xmms',
repeating shows:-
-
Leary:/home/john# apt-get install alsa-xmms
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Note, selecting xmms instead of alsa-xmms
Suggested packages:
  unzip
Recommended packages:
  libmikmod2 libvorbis0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  xmms
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 40 not upgraded.
Need to get 2013kB of archives.
After unpacking 6255kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org testing/main xmms 1.2.10-1 [2013kB]
25% [1 xmms 507879/2013kB 25%]30.3kB/s 49s
29% [1 xmms 601999/2013kB 29%]29.6kB/s 47s
I aborted at this stage

A package search on Debian.org in both Sarge and Testing failed
to show 'alsa-xmms'. Very puzzling to me.
Thanks for the response.		John.
