 This link might help you, but I think it will take a little effort, both
 to understand and to do.  It reads like someone can get pretty involved
 in resolving the issue if he chooses to.

Ok, thanks. It will be helpful i hope. :)

 Driver version: 1.0.18a

 There is no package for the drivers pulled up in an rpm query.  I
 assumed that the reason they didn't have the 1.0.20 drivers installed
 was an incompatibility with the kernel for some hardware.  I can't think
 of another reason they wouldn't be using the latest stable version.
 They obviously know about it since they have the library and utilities
 installed.


 Thee driver is a bunch of kernel modules, which are part of the kernel.

 Unfortunately, the only time Fedora upgraded the driver
 in a kernel, they used the 1.0.18, the buggiest
 alsa driver ever. Therefore, they will not do it again. They
 will use whatever version comes in the kernel.

Re: Atheros wireless card

2009-08-19 Thread dariusz rojewski
2009/8/19 Peter Lesterhuis peterlesterh...@tiscali.nl

  I had a wireless card (Atheros AR242x802abg) running on f10. It worked
 well with the ath5k driver.
 Suddenly it stopped working, I don't know why, perhaps after an update.
 I upgraded the system to f11. The wireless card is still not working.
 I googled and found out that I am not the only person who is having this
 problem. I did not find any solutions.
 Is there anyone who managed to get the card working on f11?
 At http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#supported_chips I
 cannot find my AR242x802abg chipset. Does this mean it is no longer
 supported?
 Peter



Hello,

i use Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg
Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) (on fedora 11) and it works without
any problems (with ath5x module). Try madwifi? Card works on pld,
opensuse,centos (i had same problem on ubuntu,knopix as i remember).

Thanks for your replies. unfortunately it still doesn't work. I tried
pulseaudio, the current alsa version with kernel-2.6.30, another backend and
some other fixes which were suggested by Google.
I'll have to propably listen my mp3 player or radio :) my laptop doesn't
want to cooperate with me.

 Maybe totally unrelated, but since my soundcard is Intel ICH6 there could
 be
 some correlation.

 When I installed F11 (KDE desktop) no sound apps were working.  I tried
 some
 Gnome apps, and some of them did work.  It turned out to be a matter of
 which
 audio backend different applications need.  I don't know where you set it
 in
 Gnome, but in KDE it's in systemsettings  Multimedia  Backend tab.

 On this laptop it was set to xine and changing it to gstreamer got things
 working again.


I launched kde and set gstreamer backend but it didn't help. Ehm.. stupid
intel. Under centos,pld (and opensuse as i remember) it works.. In ubuntu
doesn't work. but i didn't notice any special diffrences between
configuration fedora and centos or pld. weird. Thanks Anne.

 Hi Darekr;

 Be warned, I am usually reluctant to post technical responses on this
 list because I am new at it.  However ...

 I seem to have the same problem.  If you are relying on analog sound (or
 the cx23885 sound driver) from a TV tuner card or through RhythmBox, it
 is broken.  There are several different bugs filed relating to this
 problem.

 I got sound using mplayer which (as it was explained to me) directly
 interprets the digital signal.


Hello,

i tried to play via mplayer and i don't hear anything :) hmm.. but i noticed
it plays with headphones. Uhhm.. :] it works under other distributions, so
the solution must exist... :) thx

 What do you see using pavucontrol? Are the sliders moving while playing
 anything?



 But I don't use pulseaudio server (to use pavucontrol pulseaudio daemon
must be turned on (yeah?)). I'll try to find similiar tool for alsa and i'll
report the result. (does anyone know such tool?) :) anyway it could be
helpful hint. thanks.

 Yes.

 Did you remove packages yourself, such the ones for pulse support?
 Maybe this is your problem ...



Hm. I tried to solve my problem with pulseaudio - no results. Google said to
remove pulseaudio, so i did it. :) (maybe due to some confiltcs between alsa
and pulseaudio). I don't know. I hope it will be easier to solve it with
alsa, i've never used pulseaudio longer than 20 minutes:) thx.

 Hi;

 I would make two suggestions then I will drop unnecessary comments.


 1) Make sure that the PCM slider in alsamixer or one of its gui's
 (Advance volume, Gmixer etc.) is 100% open.



Yes, it is. :)




 2) Ubuntu users seem to be having the same kind of problems.  Google for
 your problem but use Ubuntu as a key word.  Check to see if your problem
 exists with them.  If it does, it is probably an upstream broken driver
 and needs a Bug report or additional comment on an existing bug.



I've used google for loong days (i was on ubuntu/opensuse/ forum) without
results.



 I have removed PulseAudio as well.  I have spent a couple of weeks
 (months?) on this and have not yet solved it.  I have learned that
 PulsAudio is unlikely the culprit.  By removing PulseAudio, posting on
 the Alsa mailing list and reading all the Fedora ALSA bug reports (and
 there are a lot of them) I have become convinced that the solution lies
 somewhere between a Sound_Driver = ALSA.  Once ALSA is working,
 PulseAudio will work.


I found many possible solutions, but none of them work. I'll try with
pulseaudio one more again. Thanks

2009/8/16 Anne Wilson an...@kde.org


 PA is simply one layer that, if it works with your chipset, allows control
 of
 more than one channel.  If it doesn't work with your chipset it falls back
 to
 the alsa controls.  There is no way that PA is responsible for 90% of the
 things people claim - it's simply not possible.

 Yes, you can disable it or remove it, if you choose, but if also would work
 without it, it will also work with it.  FWIW PA works well on a couple of
 fedora installs here, but not on this laptop.  Every day I see a
 notification
 that it can't work with my chipset, so sound will fall back to Default
 (which
 is alsa).  I have no sound problems whatsoever.  I don't know a single
 application that doesn't work as expected (though naturally I haven't tried
 every available one).

 Anne



Ok. I'll do it with PA and we'll se.. :) thanks for the replies

 If all else fails, there is a dedicated alsa-user mailing list.  It's years
 since I went there, but they were very helpful.  They were the ones that
 taught me to use alsamixer from the command line, as it gives better
 control
 than alsamixer-gui.

 Anne



I mailed them before your msg :) Thanks 8-)

HDA Intel sound card problem

Hello everybody,

i don't have any idea how can i fix it. As i said I have HDA Intel sound
card:

Controller (rev 03)
aplay -l:

Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0: Codec: IDT 92HD75B2X5

I've tried everything :) I added to /etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf 'options
snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6' line (dell-m6 is for codec STAC92HD73*), but it
still doesn't work.
(nothing is muted of course) :)

any ideas? thanks.

 You could try installing gst-mixer (yum install gst-mixer) and verify the

 11 I was having no-end of trouble with Intel sound.  I saw a message here
 where someone suggested installing this program and and running it I found
 my pcm settings set to 0 (though my alsa and pulse audio controls always
 showed that my pcm channel was set to 100%).  I am not sure why I could not
 solve this with the existing pre-installed tools but you could try this...
