The reason I haven't tried testing is that this is a semi-production system and I'd like the base system to be stable. Also I've seen some success story regarding this type of sound card on other Linux distributions with a sufficiently recent kernel (5.15-ish), so I'd like to at least try to make it work which will be a learning process. In the worst case I may just wait for bookworm to become stable next year :) OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Help settings up sound card on Debian stable
Hi, I have been trying to set up a Minisforum HX90[1] with Debian stable with backports. Most of the stuff works out of the box except sound, bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. I'll focus on the sound card issue here and use a new thread for the latter 2 items (which are related to the same MediaTek module.) I've enabled backports repo and installed the latest backport kernel. It looks like the system can detect the device according to inxi output: ``` $ inxi -SMA System: Host: debian-hx90 Kernel: 5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: N/A Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: N/A model: HX90 serial: UEFI: American Megatrends LLC. v: 5.19 date: 10/11/2021 Audio: Device-1: AMD Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: AMD Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor driver: N/A Device-3: AMD Family 17h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-4: C-Media Audio Adapter (Unitek Y-247A) type: USB driver: cmedia_hs100b,snd-usb-audio,usbhid Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 running: yes Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 14.2 running: yes Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.19 running: yes ``` but note this line: "Device-2: AMD Raven/Raven2/FireFlight/Renoir Audio Processor driver: N/A" which seems to suggest that the driver is not available. I tried to list devices using "aplay -l" but got no sound card available: ``` $ aplay -l aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found... ``` PulseAudio also reports only the dummy sink is available: ``` $ pactl list sinks Sink #0 State: SUSPENDED Name: auto_null Description: Dummy Output Driver: module-null-sink.c Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right Owner Module: 12 Mute: no Volume: front-left: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB, front-right: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB balance 0.00 Base Volume: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB Monitor Source: auto_null.monitor Latency: 0 usec, configured 0 usec Flags: DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY SET_FORMATS Properties: device.description = "Dummy Output" device.class = "abstract" device.icon_name = "audio-card" Formats: pcm ``` I've googled around and tried to install some firmware including "firmware-sof-signed" but it didn't help.

Trouble with 2011 iMac Sound Card On Debian
Hi all, So I installed Debian on a 2011 iMac and it is working ok, except for the sound. There is no sound from either the speaker or the headphone jack. When I go to the system settings, the volum option is completely greyed out. Running cat /proc/asound/cards in UXTerm returned this: 0 [PCH ]:HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xa890 irq 47 1 [HDMI]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xa884 irq 48 I am wondering why the speaker and headphone jack would not work when the sound card is recognized?

What I played with on mine might not help, but am sharing in case it does, at least in part. You said "device", so I sampled: # ls -ld /dev/* | grep au -i Throwing in grep was a little trick I learned from seeing it tossed around here on Debian-User.

Since those extras created only a little noise, they were left in just to show that usage. :) I also tried running "apt-get search sound card". That right neighborly (effortlessly) landed: xmix - X11-based interface to the Linux sound driver mixer It's 10.8kb (for me) so I test drove it before sharing. It's... "cute". Unfortunately, I don't have any way to know if it recognizes two cards instead of just the one that I (presume I) have. The Master setting was down presumably at 0. I had some trouble bumping that up... and now can't get it to slide back down. Additionally my own speaker(s?) has not worked in a while so I don't know if it had any effect when it did move upward. :D Normal user was "allowed" to run xmix, root was not. That was expected behavior similar to how root is supposed to be all business, get in, do some work, and get out and thus not "playing" with known time wasters, e.g. web browsers. As an aside for potential Developer interest, closing xmix via that universal top righthand (and sometimes lefthand) "X" repeatedly received the following feedback that did NOT come back when closing via the "Quit" button: $ xmix XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 325 requests (325 known processed) with 0 events remaining. As a further and totally OT aside, the "sound card" search also landed these two packages that look interesting: cw - Morse code tutor - command line user interface xdemorse - decode Morse signals to text Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *

That's what I'm imagining from the description, too. Sounds like all power's off to the computer... so I'm imagining that... The card doesn't need "power" to work? Apparently no. This is the first time I've ever thought about that aspect. That's a constant checkpoint for things like those CHEAP $5 external hard drive adapters that have no enclosures, but it's never been a factor for PCI'ish/plugs into the motherboard type hardware. Is there some kind of direct wiring going on between the linein and lineout points? Yeah, I know, never mind on that one. There has to be something like that for it to work even when the power switch is on. Something goes in and can only go back out if there is an unbroken line of connectivity somehow within the product. :) Those thoughts are coming from sitting here reading Long Wind's description while knowing that my speakers power on and off separate from the computer. Wish I had some way to (kicks 'n' giggles) test the same to see if mine duplicates the result. Afterthought: This is a stretch of the imagination, YES, but Is there any way it could be seen as an exploitable vulnerability where it's possible to interact within the computer even when it's turned off completely? Absolute worse, hopefully totally impossible scenario would be that the boogeyman burglar busts into your office one night, plants some bad mojo on that PCI card, you boot up your computer the next morning, and off that bad mojo goes running throughout the rest of the internal workings... Yes, I do understand that the card would have to be capable of certain [tasks].

Sound card with support either out-of-box (kernel support) or ALSA/Pulseaudio
Hi list members, I'm currently running Debian on a custom built desktop, and am looking to get, as a little something to complete the rig to desired specs, a sound card. Yes, I know the spiel... "Who needs a sound card in 2016?", or, "But onboard audio...!" My reason is for audio processing: I need a separate device with a little more dedicated "oomph". But I digress. I've been carefully researching cards, trying to find a solution that, in essence, translates to one of the following: 1) Drop the card in and either there's kernel support 2) A kernel module is available 3) ALSA and/or Pulseaudio will see it and pick up on it My rig is running sid with the 4.7.0-1-amd64 kernel. I do have non-free repos enabled; I did so to get proper Nvidia drivers for my graphics card. So I am flexible enough to accept non-free if, and only if, there's no other really good solution. The cards I narrowed down to include the Creative Labs Z series (which, AFAIK, are emu10k cores that are listed on the ALSA wiki as supported), or the Asus Xonar Essence cards (which I have read as having kernel support). However, I may take the Z series cards, as they're more within my budget. So my question now is this: has anyone tried out a Creative Z series sound card in their rig, and if so, what is it like setting it up to work properly with Debian?

You should be able to blacklist the snd-hda-intel driver in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist. That ought to prevent the Intel HDA driver from
loading and thus leave you with just the USB audio device.
Secondly, most modern desktops are using PulseAudio these days, there's
a tool, `pasystray` which lets you select the sound device.
Finally, there's asoundrc to configure the default device, have a look
at the output of `cat /proc/asound/cards` to make a note of what ID the
device has, then add a line to your .asoundrc:
> pcm.!default {

See http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc for more
information.

Disable a sound card
Hi,
The speaker output of my DELL laptop D430 doesn't work, I have
sound only by the speaker of my laptop. It is impossible to desactive
Intel sound card by the bios.
I bought a usb sound card Terratec. I
always have a sound on the speaker of my laptob but no sound
on output
of usb sound card. I think there is a conflit between Intel sound card
and usb sound card.

Sound-Card Chain of Command?
Hi everyone, My friend Larry hart has a rather unique debian question. Is there a script to do what he wants? I have already suggested that he will need to give the infinite channels of wisdom here more information. I am only sharing his posts, and your answers, because I am already on the list. Thanks in advance, -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2015 08:08:45 -0800 Subject: Sound-Card Chain of Command? Hi All: Especially since I am totally blind, I am only in a console setup, mostly Debian Testing. I have 4 sound-cards, one of which is a high-end, supporting equalization. These seem to let me play multiple streams at once. Problem is if we run speech-dispatcher to run a graphical screen-reader, I cannot rip audio in ice weasel xvfb, but I can still play. What I would essentially like to do is have either speech-dispatcher or the recording function find a next available empty sound-card. This would certainly provide lots more flexabillity. Thanks so much in advance Hart

Thank You Danny Normally when a signal is "split" you should have "identical" impedences on both sides of the split. Assuming this is so the resulting signal on either side of the split should be down by 3db or "half". Normally the amplifiers which are at the end of the split signal have enough gain so that 3db should not affect the sound quality. Larry

I assume "desktop speakers" are designed to present a load comparable with headphones, or at least compatible with typical sound card capabilities. They will soak up a little of the current available at the output, while your rig will only be interested in the output voltage which will be unaffected. (Am I saying all this to a licensed ham?) My desktop soundcard had to drive a pair of Jordan Watts like these: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BAbT1p2CUAA0Di0.jpg but I wouldn't recommend that for you. However, my concern is for how you deal with the volume control. I assume your rig wants the output turned up loud so that's what you'll get through your Y-splitter (Y-sharer might be a better term). What I do (currently on my server in the basement) is connect the output to the line/aux input of an old ghettoblaster (cassette mechanisms long worn out) which gives me not only volume but tone controls too. If you haven't got any of your own, their are junk shops, charity shops, neighbours... This solution is safer with headphones too, when the software unexpectedly maxes the volume. Cheers, David.

I have no quarrel with the advice that follows, but I do not understand the comment above. Speakers are rated for the _imppedance_ they present to the amplifier which drives them. Impedance is defined as R+jX, where R is resistance and X is reactance, which can be either negative (capacitive) or positive (inductive), and appears on the imaginary (y) axis of a rectangular graph, thus the j term. Power is always expressed in Watts, and is defined as current times voltage, or in engineering terms, P = IE. I is current in Amps, E is voltage in Volts. The voltage is either DC, or the RMS value of an AC waveform. [j = sqrt (-1)] The "120 volts" coming out of a wall outlet is an RMS value of voltage. (RMS value of a sinusoidal waveform equals 0.7071 times the peak value.) So, power can mean AC audio power sent to a loudspeaker, (or AC power from a wall outlet sent to whatever device it powers),or DC power sent to some load, such as a flash-light bulb, the supply for an amplifier, or whatever. Nowadays, that DC power is frequently obtained from a module that plugs into a wall outlet, commonly called a wall-wart. DC power can also be obtained from batteries or from the lighter socket of your automobile. --doug A pair of powered desktop speakers designed to plug into the output port of a computer is a commodity item which can be purchased for about twenty dollars at any computer store.

Doug, As I recall, the thread began with the need to monitor the audio signal being fed into a transceiver from the headphone-level audio output of a computer.

The term "powered speaker" commonly is used for an integrated unit which consists of speakers (left and right), amplifier(two-channel), and power supply.

Such a high impedance is all but invisible to the output of the computer, because the output of the computer is designed to pump 10 to 20 milliWatts into a pair of 8 Ohm earbuds. So we take a functional system (the computer output feeding a signal into a transceiver) and connect in parallel the powered speaker, which adds to the computer output an almost-invisible load. And, like the powered speaker system, the transceiver input has a high impedance. So, essentially, the computer HEADPHONE output (which has a very low impedance) is running unloaded.

RLH Ok, I think we are not fighting over anything. I did not assume speakers as the destination when I suggested a Y adapter. _Then_ the OP said he wanted speakers. I did not assume, as you apparently did, that he was thinking of powered computer speakers. With the exception of some Logitech powered speaker systems, practically all others are junk, with no attempt at fidelity. So I would not immediately think of "computer speakers." And yes, the input impedance of any of such systems is at least a couple of K-ohms, and will not load the Y adapter. Another responder, as you no doubt know, suggested an old boom-box with an external audio input jack. That might be the simplest answer of all, if there's one kicking around somewhere. Cheers--doug

A Y-adapter simply parallels two circuits. There is no splitting as such. The driving capability of the output circuitry normally is sufficient to keep the output level nearly constant for any reasonable load. Headphones are the worst-case load; the input circuitry of an external amplifier presents no appreciable load.

I could be wrong, but it seems logical to me. With consumer electronics, the source (LINE OUTPUT) typically is of low impedance, say ten to a hundred Ohms. And the load (LINE INPUT) typically is of high impedance, say a thousand to a hundred thousand Ohms. Consequently, loading is not a concern: the load cannot draw sufficient current to affect the source. Loads typically are connected in parallel one with the other, so no "splitting" or voltage divider is involved, as would be the case if loads were connected in series one with the other. In consumer audio gear, (1) the HEADPHONE output may be driven by a buffer amplifier stage which is driven from the LINE OUTPUT stage. The buffer stage typically is able to provide a hundred milliAmperes or so into any reasonable headphone load. With this arrangement, even a dead short across the output terminals of the buffer amplifier should not affect the LINE OUTPUT. But it may be that (2) the LINE OUTPUT and HEADPHONE jacks are connected in parallel, one with the other, across a single output stage. Again, the output stage is going to be an amplifier which is able to provide a hundred milliAmperes or so into any reasonable headphone load. So, whatever the case, connecting headphones to the HEADPHONE jacks should not cause a lower level of the LINE OUTPUT. RLH

(This is an addendum to my previous reply) There is no "splitting" of power. Whatever device is connected to the LINE OUTPUT jack looks only at the output voltage, and from that voltage generates whatever power is required. In other words, the function of a LINE OUTPUT is to provide a voltage signal, and NOT to transfer power. Almost always, the power-handling capability of a pair of headphones is small in comparison with the power available from the output stage of a computer sound card or a USB audio interface. While a speaker in an enclosure may need a hundred Watts to provide adequate loudness in a room, a pair of headphones typically requires only a thousandth of that power, which is to say, only a few hundred milliWatts per channel. And a single garden-variety transistor stage (or today, an integrated circuit) easily can provide that much power. Here is the URL of a RANE corporation application note which provides and excellent discussion of the matter: http://www.rane.com/pdf/old/note100.pdf RLH

Thank You Danny Why not just get a Y adapter? --dm Ditto on the Y adapter, or some other external solution. Normal 3 jack hardware would be Pink (Microphone), Green (Audio Out), Blue (Line In). Some hardware implementations do allow some jack functions to be changed, but that may or may not be the case for your specific hardware and if the hardware is capable may or may not be a feature that is implemented in the linux driver/mixer software. Normally if it is an option that is implemented I would expect it to show as a toggle in one of the alsa mixers, possibly in the pulse audio stuff as well, similar to the way 'Mic Boost' might show in the mixers when the hardware supports that function. If you do actually have an audio out and a line out and the line out doesn't produce audio when something is plugged into the audio out, it may be an indication that it's a hardwired mechanical function built into the audio out jack to break the circuit to the line out jack when anything is plugged into audio out. There are a few variables between the capabilities of the audio chip, the mixer it is paired with at the hardware level, the way the jacks are routed to these and the way these show up in the mixer at the software level. Maybe someone with the same/similar audio hardware will chime in with what they see. Later, Seeker

I would be surprised that the case is otherwise. I always install "pavucontrol" (pulse audio volume control), which may be all you need. But "jack" can provide any signal routing you need. A few years back I began using a USB interface for sound on everything. This approach allows me to switch the entire sound apparatus from one machine to another with only a single USB cable, so long as the machine has a USB port and pavucontrol is installed. And I no longer have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of all various on-board sound systems. One advantage of the USB interface approach to sound is the ability to use professional (that is, balanced) apparatus, which, by design, eliminates hum and buzz. You might find balanced gear advantageous when radio-frequency interference (RFI) is a consideration. Entertainment and broadcast supply houses (bswusa.com, fullcompass.com, markertek.com, bandh.com) stock a variety of economical USB interfaces. For many in the audio business (podcasting, performance, and audio mixing and editing), USB sound has obsoleted bus-based sound cards. The Lexicon Alpha at less than fifty dollars is versatile and reliable, and is powered from the USB bus. The Lexicon design (Alpha and Omega) uses the mixer paradigm, and can accommodate a mix of balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs. RLH

No Flash-based audio in Google Chrome/Chromium with a USB Sound Card
Hi All, I am apologizing for the long post now. I installed Wheezy a couple weeks ago on my workstation and things are fantasticwith the exception of a Flash-based audio problem: I don't have audio from any Flash-based media (Youtube, Vimeo, or otherwise) in either Google Chrome or Chromium. I installed the pepperflashplugin-nonfree plugin and have followed much of the documentation on the Debian Wiki regarding this issue. Removing and reinstalling both Chrome and Pepper Flash have not changed the situation. I have also spent several hours Googling this problem without resolve. I don't have this Flash-based audio problem with Iceweasel. Playing audio/video from Audacious and VLC work fine. My motherboard is an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 with its own onboard NVidia audio chip. I disabled this sound card a long time ago in the BIOS. My audio interface is a USB Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 which ALSA supports. I installed Wheezy via the DVD using the Expert Installer and a minimal install which included SSH and the base system. Post-installation I installed xorg, openbox, and some other desktop-related packages as well as multimedia stuff from the deb-multimedia repo. Some other things worth noting: 1) I have Wheezy installed on my ThinkPad L530 with the same (or at least darn-near identical) installation method and package selection and uses the laptop's onboard audio. The laptop doesn't experience this problem *at all* and instead works just fine. 2) This workstation is also dualbooted with Windows 7 Professional where I also use Google Chrome and do not experience this audio problem. 3) I have had other distributions (CentOS 6.5 and openSUSE 13.1, respectively) installed on this machine with the SAME hardware configuration and never experienced these Chrome/Chromium audio problems. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some sound-related configuration I'm missing or have I stumbled across a bug? -- Pete Orrall p...@cs1x.com www.peteorrall.com If there isn't a way, I'll make one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

After updating wheezy, sound card not properly recognized anymore
Hi,
after installing automatic updates a few weeks ago for my wheezy box,
sound disappeared. I'm using the box only occasionally and didn't
immediately try to figure out what's wrong - I assumed the next update
would fix it. Sadly, I'm still without sound. (That is one kernel update
later.)
First I checked that nothing is muted and that all sound output is at
maximum. Doing that I noticed in the sound settings (little speaker
symbol in the top right hand corner of gnome, then sound settings) that
only a dummy output device is listed. That's probably bad. I'm using the
onboard sound of the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 mainboard with Intel Z68
Express Chipset. The specs say it should be using the Realtek ALC889 codec.
Next I checked whether modules are loaded (as far as I can see, they
are; lsmod output is further below) and whether the speakers work (they do).
Then I started to google for debugging howtos and possible fixes. Most
of what I found suggested to write something like
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
into ~.asoundrc or into /etc/asoundrc. None of those existed but
creating them (and testing different card/devices values) didn't work.
On the upside I learned about aplay and speaker-test (see output below)
which seem to indicate that the sound isn't going to the correct device.
Another suggestion was to use alsa-info.sh to gather information about
the current alsa configuration. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the
script. Which package does it belong to? Has it been replaced with
something newer? Or do I have to download it manually from the alsa
project webpage?
I'm not a Linux pro and this is as far as I got. Any help to fix the
issue would be appreciated.
Best, Simon

Okay, that modprobe command woke up the mixer and rexima found it with: rexima -d /dev/mixer and took control as it had done on other computers I had. I play frotz games and those have oss type sound effects in them I've not heard since the first days I played infocom games on dos on a pc all those years ago so this should be interesting.

Re(2): No Sound Card found on Testing Install
This morning in accordance with the last paragraph in
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ
I removed the line
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
from /etc/apt/sources.list .
After updating the system and rebooting, Iceweasel produced no sound.
According to http://www.opensrc.org/FAQ026, the following
/etc/asound.conf should make the C-Media USB Headphone Set
the default sound device. No such luck. Iceweasel still produces no sound.
Either the audio data is sent to the SiS chip, which has no speaker, or
something
more obscure happens. In Twinkle, sound is fine as always.
Pertinent information follows. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks, ... Peter E.

OK, this is embarrassing, but I have solved the problem.
