Hello,
I encounter the very same problem with the ALSA Mixer: "An error occurred while
loading or saving configuration information for GNOME ALSA Mixer. Some of your
configuration settings may not work properly."
Error log:
Bad key or directory name:
"/apps/gnome-alsamixer/slider_display_names/SigmaTel_STAC9701,3,4,5-Master":
`,' is an invalid character in key/directory names
yadah yadah...
Bad key or directory name:
"/apps/gnome-alsamixer/display_names/SigmaTel_STAC9701,3,4,5": `,' is an
invalid character in key/directory names
I searched the whole internet, but I could find no clues at all.
The video chip on the mainboard (a MSI K9VGM-V) is a HDA VIA VT82xx,
which works fine. I tried to install two different sound cards to my
computer: one Creative Labs CT4750 (snd-ens1371) and another turtle
beach (snd-au8820). Both drivers are loaded. I can see them through
"find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd".
Both card will show up through an "aplay -l" and an "asoundconf list".
But no sound. A modprobe on each module will not change anything,
neither will a "asoundconf set-default-card".
I'm currently trying to get the Creative Labs CT4750 working. The
Pulseaudio Manager do not show anything upseting (well... AFAIK). The
Pulseaudio Volume Meter moves fine, "showing signal levels of ALSA PCM
on front:0 (ALC883 Analog) via DMA".
In the volume control, everything is set to 100%, but no sound. Damn.
When I switch back to the mainboard sound card, everything is ok.
However, changing the "Device" in the volume control has no effect at
all.
Here is the output for a "apt-cache policy alsa-base":
alsa-base:
Installed: 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
BTW: It may not relates, but I also disabled the onboard sound card in
the BIOS. It had no effect. More: if I plug a jack in its output, it
will go on playing, be another sound card in or not, and whatever any
settings. I tried on two different machines with the same behavior.
To finish with alsa mixer. I can see two cards: an ACL883 (the onboard
sound card, I guess) and a SigmaTel. ??? SigmaTel ??? Whatever the sound
card I try to install, it will never show up in Gnome Alsa Mixer, and
the sigmaTel will remain unchanged. Could it be a write-protected
configuration file the program can't access?
Regards,
Marino
