Re: [Alsa-user] Microphone not recording properly on ALC883, Acer 3103WLMi

2007-11-18 Thread Paul Goins
I no longer seem to have any issues, or if they are present, they're very 
intermittent on my system.  I'd say that for my specific laptop the issue is 
resolved simply with the options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire line; I 
don't need to do any reloading anymore.  Debian testing just had some new Alsa 
packages come in and maybe that might be helping things for me; I don't know, 
but I have no further complaints: things work great.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

It's still a bug if a model option is required.  Please report lspci
-vvv outout for your soundcard to the alsa-devel list so this can be
fixed.

Re: [Alsa-user] Microphone not recording properly on ALC883, Acer 3103WLMi

2007-11-18 Thread Paul Goins
Okay, I'm holding off on reporting a bug because maybe things are more complex 
than I originally thought.

As I said, Debian's pulled a few new alsa packages into their testing distro, 
which is what I use.  And since those packages were pulled in, my problems have 
largely disappeared.  Actually, I tried to remove the model=acer-aspire 
option and rebooted my machine several times, and most times the recording just 
works now.  So, I don't really see a smoking gun with this option anymore.

That being said, I am having intermittent problems when after a bootup, I will 
try to record, and I can record one time successfully, and after that it'll 
stop recording properly until I reload the driver.  Just reloading the driver 
will clear things up; model=acer-aspire isn't needed.

Should I still post something to the devel list even though this is maybe not 
as definitive as I thought?

 I think I had a similar issue after rebooting.  This is what I did as a
 workaround, afterwards everything worked properly:
 * Stop alsa
 * Remove the snd_hda_intel module (you might need to close X to do this)
 * Modprobe the snd_hda_intel module with model=acer-aspire
 * Start alsa

Why not just change the entry in /etc/modprobe.conf ( or in one of the
files in /etc/modprobe.d if that is how your distro works.
Eg
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire
remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install
snd-hda-intel  { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }


 I haven't fiddled around enough to get a proper fix as of yet.  Lemme
 know if this workaround helps, and if I can get a more proper fix that
 works for me, I'll pass it along too.
