 Posted: Fri May 14, 2021 6:29 pm Post subject: [Solved] Realtek ALC897 No sound with ALSA installed |
 |
|
Hello! I have integrated sound card in Intel-based motherboard. I reconfigured & rebuilt kernel, installed alsa-lib, alsa-utils, unmuted alsamixer, enabled alsa and sound useflags, reemerged @world, but still no sound (tested with speaker-test, mpv and firefox). The user is in audio group. I use headphones btw. How can I make audio work? Here is some relevant info:
lspci -vv | grep -i audio
| Code: |
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device f0c8 (rev 11)
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland/Hainan/Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7000 Series]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Oland/Hainan/Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7000 Series]

Uncommented kernel options containing snd or audio:

I tried installing alsa-firmware, but it does not change anything (so I uninstalled it). Hardware is 100% working, tested on MX Linux livecd. I checked lsmod on it, snd_hda_intel is in use there (so on my system). I searched for a solution with no luck. Please help make it working.

You might want to try to compile SND as a module instead of built-in. On my system, this is somehow needed.
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=m
EDIT :
Also, tick this :
CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG=y |

| Thanks for reply, I compiled it as module, now lsmod shows many modules, but still no sound. By the way, I have selected HDA Intel PCH card by default |

When I cat /proc/asound/timers with mpv running, it shows this:
| Code: | G0: system timer : 1000.000us (10000000 ticks)
P0-0-0: PCM playback 0-0-0 : SLAVE
P0-0-1: PCM capture 0-0-1 : SLAVE
P0-1-0: PCM playback 0-1-0 : SLAVE
Client application 4231 : running
P0-2-1: PCM capture 0-2-1 : SLAVE
P1-3-0: PCM playback 1-3-0 : SLAVE |

web.user,
What does | Code: | | /proc/asound/devices |
contain?
What does show?
With also built into the kernel, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf cannot be consulted, as sound in stated before root is mounted.
Its probably not needed anyway.
All SND_HDA_INTEL cards are capable of operating with a 44.1kHz sample rate for CD Digital Audio or 48.0kHz for digital outputs but not both at the same time.
I get any analogue audio output at all, all the controls with IEC or S/PDIF is their names must be muted because that card will prioritise digital output over analogue output.
If alsa mixer shows a Headphone control, it may be swapped with one pair of speakers, possibly Front. Do not rely on the analogue output channel naming.
A good test process is to mute everything.
Now unmute only PCM, Master and Front. Set those sliders to about 70%.
Don't put the headphones over your ears - it might be very loud.
Now test.
Unmute other controls one at at time, Headphones, Side, Rear, Centre/LFE.
The test will fail if the things I asked for are not correct.

I tried to do that test, but I have no mute/unmute option for PCM. Thanks for suggestion to mute S/PDIF, but still no sound. Here is alsamixer:

When I try to play a music file with mpv, a very silent beep can be heared. The same sound when I plug headphones in/out. Also, this sound is made during boot.
Interestingly, unlike MX Linux, Ubuntu livecd doesn't have sound too. |
