Have you run aplay -L?  Can you run amixer set Master 85% then alsactl 
store?  Last commands as root or sudo root most likely.

Subject: "No soundcard"-problem after reboot on 1005HA without speakers

Hello

I have a Asus Eee PC 1005HA on which I run Jessie. The thing is that the
speakers have been physically removed and I am having trouble getting
audio to work via the headphone jack.

However, if I run

# apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio

and then reinstall them both and reboot it works perfectly. If I go to
alsamixer I see HDA Intel, Chip: Realtek ALC269 and:
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
   HDA Intel at 0xf7db8000 irq 44

But when I reboot the computer again I'm back to square one and my
soundcard can't seem to be found.

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition
Audio Controller (rev 02)

# alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

also if I open the gui pulse mixer no sound card is found.

# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---

# alsactl init
alsactl: init:1758: No soundcards found...

# journalctl | grep snd
Aug 18 15:16:02 noether kernel: snd_hda_intel :00:1b.0: irq 44 for
MSI/MSI-X
Aug 18 15:16:02 noether kernel: snd_hda_intel :00:1b.0: no codecs
found!

I can then purge and reinstall to make it work temporarily again which I
tried a number of times just to make sure that the behavior is
consistent.

How can I make alsa/pulse remember my card after purge/reinstall?

Regards

tells us that Jessie's kernel finds your soundcard, but for some reason
udev does not load supplementary (yet needed) kernel modules to actually
produce sound.

And that tells us that running Pulseaudio (or alsa-base post-install
script) requests to load such kernel modules.

It's simple.

Make your laptop enter this 'broken' state, in which no soundcard is
'found'. Execute /sbin/lsmod, redirect its output to some file.

Make your laptop enter 'correct' state, execute /sbin/lsmod again,
redirect the output to some other file.

Compare two outputs, put the difference in /etc/modules. Since such
approach is much of a band-aid - expect the things to break again once
you'll upgrade to next Debian version.

When you install Sarge you have a choice of kernels and 2.6 is one of
them. When you begin the install (say, of netinst CD) you first hit F2
(I think) to get a list of options. One of those options is to install
2.6.8 rather than 2.4. This may have been changed in more recent install
CD's but anyway it should be quite easy for you to upgrade to the 2.6
kernel without reinstalling. There are detailed instructions if you
search the archives of this list.

It would help if you could confirm that your card has an Intel chip set.
Assuming it does, the alsa driver ought to be snd_intel8x0. You can find
instructions here:

What kernel are you using? Is it 2.6.x? In any event it seems the
simplest solution is to reinstall your kernel or upgrade it to
2.6.something if it's a 2.4 kernel. Read the archives about how to do
this. When you've done that make sure you have the package alsa-utils
and follow the directions given earlier. The alsa driver snd_intel8x0 is
very commonly used so I wouldn't expect you to have all this trouble.

Jonathan

 #aptitude install alsa-utils
 then run alsaconf. If all goes well then run
 $alsamixer
 and make sure the setting are to your liking.
 If alsaconf can't find your card go to the Alsa Project drivers page and
 make sure it's supported and which driver it needs.

Do you have hotplug installed? It should automatically detect your soundcard's 
module and load it at boot.

It would help if you could confirm that your card has an Intel chip set.
Assuming it does, the alsa driver ought to be snd_intel8x0. You can find
instructions here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=SiScard=SiS+745.chip=SI7012module=intel8x0
You may want to download the latest version of alsa-drivers and compile
them yourself (you'll need your kernel-image and kernel-source to do this).

Don't take my word for any of this, but

To my knowledge, ALSA is already installed and configured in Sarge (at
least, it was for me). I had great difficulties to get my sound to work
and some how managed to do it. I'll try to tell you what I did.

FIrstly, if you are using KDE, choose Kmix (K menu, multimedia, kmix)
and make sure that a: there is a sound-driver (it will say this under
the sliders, by the sideways slider. Mine, for example, says SigmaTel).
Now, make sure that NOTHING is muted.

If this does not work, I'll try to give you more advice.

CM8738 soundcard problem

2004-03-13 Thread Bostjan Muller 
Hi!

I have just purchased a new sound card C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738
which seems to have one problem. The sound it outputs is about 10db
quieter than the previous cards I had. I have the autio output (just 2
speakers) connected to the stereo and to achieve the same loudness
(alsamixer/aumix set to the full), but the sound is still quieter.
Is there anything I can do to make it output sound at normal loudness?

I have played around with alsa's drivers and with standard OSS from
kernel 2.4.23.

I would appreciate any hint on how to make it output sound at normal 
loudness.

Regards/Lep pozdrav

Are you using an amplifier or are you sending the soundcards signal
directly to the speakers?

This might be electrical issue. The output signal of your soundcard
should probably be amplified (by an amplifier of course) before sending
it to the speakers. Perhaps the soundcard has another output, where you
can get more powerful signal meant for headphones or smaller speakers.
Maybe your soundcard has a jumper, which can be used to turn on small
amplifier on your soundcard?

Well, if you use discover maybe it can detect it and you can see it in

Here is my audio section from dmesg ( just as an example ):

i815 Soundcard Problem

2003-07-10 Thread Ratheesh K K 

Hai to the users of Debian,

Problem:
   My motherboard is of D815EEA2 from Intel with
onboard soundcard with the chip AD1885. The problem I
face is that I cant boot with sound support every time
I boot the system.Only at random occasions the
soundcard is working. This is the case whether I
include the sound support into the kernel or compile
it as a module.
On the other side manpage of bootparam 'man
bootparam' says that there are certain soundcards that
requires the particular dos driver to put the card
into a known state.Following this after booting pc
into dos, loading the particular dos driver, then
loading GNU/Linux with the help of loadlin surely
works.
This is the case with almost all systems working on
the specified series of the motherboard.I have tried
kernel-sources (2.5.38  2.5.41) which supports alsa
modules  drivers ,but the same problem persists.
Is there anyone else using and facing the same
problem/ any solution for this problem where a 100%
sound can be obtained without the help of loadlin in
these motherboards.

By any chance, do you have the volume up? Use something like aumix
(it's also a package -- nice text mixer) to set the volume.
And make sure that the module is loaded :) [just add
the module to /etc/modules but I think you got that step :]

ES1869 soundcard problem? (lengthy description)

2000-09-07 Thread Peter Fedichev 
Hello,

since yesterday I am trying to configure the sound card on my laptop. I
would be very grateful to anyone who could hint me a solution. The
hardware has been till yesterday working fine under Windows (though I
don't have W to check it again but I don't expect anything happened).

I will be trying to get sndconfig package from woody as it's been
suggested by Michael Smith, but to be fair I don't expect it to work
fine, since several months ago I tryed the sndconfig on RedHat and
failed to find a working combination of irq/dma/ioport. I'll be trying,
but a help is welcome.

Even installing Windows I had the same problem, but somhow after several
attempts it's gone by itself, so I have no idea what I did right (or
wrong) before the card started working.

thanks.

Here follows a lenghty description of the problem.
when I boot the computer I am getting (this is the output of dmesg |

Re: Ensoniq Soundcard Problem

2000-08-07 Thread Phil Brutsche 
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 On further investigation, the sound card works fine in my root
 desktop. How do I set the permissions for it to work properly in my
 user directory.  (It's getting close to working :-)

Investigate the files /dev/dsp* and /dev/mixer*.  Correlate your group
access permissions with the permissions of /dev/dsp* and /dev/mixer*.  
Alter your permissions in /etc/group accordingly.

How do I add audio to my user group definitions? I can change the file
permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer, but won't that make the system
less secure? I'm looking at the permissions now. Seems I could also
change ownership of the files for the same result, but again wouldn't
that compromise security?
thanks for your reply.

Just edit /etc/group so that your username is in place of pollywog below.

Your group number might differ from mine for the audio group but that is
alright.

audio:x:29:pollywog

It works, thanks, this has been such a headache. I changed from a
yamaha oplsax isapnp sound card and went through so many aggravating
problems. Now I can relax..

 BUT!!! The user you just added has to log COMPLETELY off the box, and back on
 for the changes to take affect. Let me know if this works.

 I have recompiled 2.2.16 kernel to support my creative ensoniq

 hangs and I don't get back to the user prompt. If I try to connect to
 the ESD volume meter on the desktop while the esd command is hung, it
 seems to work. If I try to connect to the mixer, then I receive an
 error:  [No mixers found, make sure you have sound support compiled

 I think there is probably some sort of permission problem here, but I
 don't really know where to begin. I'm reading the manual..
 any suggestions?

AWE-soundcard problem (potato)

1999-11-13 Thread Sven Esbjerg 
Hi

Yesterday I decided to upgrade one of my Slink machines to Potato to see how
it works. Except for a minor problem whith a package it all worked out well, I
thought... After upgrading I decided to listen to some mp3 and then my
problems startet. First I had to learn that you are no longer able to set
parameters in modules.conf. After outcommenting those modprobe worked again.
Next I found out that somehow the irq had been set to 7 and not 5 as before.
Loading the module whith isapnp.conf didn't work either. It just didn't
matter. So I decided to try modconf. After that at modprobe -c showed:
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
which is correct for my AWE64 card. Well when I load the module and afterwards
start mpg123 dmesg will (still) show me:
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
furthermore when I try to do a 'cat /dev/sndstat' I get 
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device
'ls -la /dev/sndstat' shows
crw-rw1 root audio 14,   6 Aug  6 15:48 /dev/sndstat

So I'm totaly bewildered. I have been using kernel 2.2.13 all the time. Only
thing I did was to do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and now everything seems to
totaly broken whith my soundcard. I have been reading in sound.c but it seems
to load the parameters for irq and dma when it gets loaded. I did notice one 
thing. Some people at Redhat had modified the original source. This was signed
by Alan Cox.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix this?

Hi Sven, I'm a newbie, so you may want to take this with a grain
of salt.  I also have an AWE 64 card and I've had better luck with
potato than I ever did with slink.  I think there is a sound HOWTO
on www.linux.org that I used which worked real well.  I'll
just go over the highlights and what optios I chose.

Some details, I'm running the 2.2.12 kernel and when I did my
apt-get session I made sure I got the awe-drivers and such.
I think I still had the to run the install.sh in my /usr/src/awedrv
directory.  I'll include my .config file for you.  Hope this helps.
I've found the folks here most helpful in getting my stuff to go,
so thanks everyone.

I've also found the AWE32/64 HOWTO to be very helpful:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Soundblaster-AWE.html

 #define AWE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR   0x620   /* base port address */
 #define AWE_DEFAULT_MEM_SIZE512 /* kbytes */
 in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.12/drivers/sound/lowlevel/awe-config.h

Another way (more tweakable perhaps) is to put the settings in
/etc/modules.conf.  (actually, in Debian that file is actually generated from
/etc/modutils/*, so you put this in a file, say
/etc/modutils/stuff_added_by_me) I use the following options:

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

Check documentation on what else you can configure there.
