 |
|
Hello everyone. My sound card is an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family).
Sound Card Support is compiled directly into the kernel, but ALSA and OSS are not selected.
I've tried compiling alsa-driver with both intel8x0 and hda-intel in the ALSA_CARDS variable in make.conf, each alone and once together. intel8x0 and hda-intel both compile and give the same results when tried on their own.
| Code: |
sno linux # cat /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
#CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS=""

alsaconf finds and sets up the hda-intel module, alsasound starts without problems, but still I don't get any sound. The Gnome volume control tells me there is no sound card present. XMMS using the alsa output plugin cannot play.
What am I doing wrong? |

Does this happen as root or as a normal user? If the latter, you need to add that user to the audio group:
| Code: |
gpasswd -a <username> audio

| i've added my user to the audio group. xmms will play now, and the Gnome volume control works but I dont' hear anything. MP3's 'play' but no sound comes out of the speakers or headphones. Perhaps something is muted somewhere. I've tried running alsamixer and everything seems like it's turned up. |
