 Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 11:54 am Post subject: Intel HDA + Alsa troubles [SOLVED] |
 |
|
2.6.18-gentoo-r6 (only soundcore built into kernel, no alsa or OSS inside)
alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc2
alsa-oss-1.0.12
alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc2
alsa-headers-1.0.14_rc2
alsa-utils-1.0.14_rc2
Sound doesn't seem to work at all even though most things seem to recognise the card fine, I just can't access any controls in any mixers (Tried alsamixer, amixer, aumix and xfce4-mixer).. I'm able to get the sound working by compiling the 2.6.18 alsa kernel modules (but not 2.6.19 ones) but it seems they can't record from my front mic jack so I can't use skype, supposedly the newer drivers do support the front mic jack, but I can't get them to work.
The problem:
| Code: | deathcarrot@jkasus ~ $ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
|
| Code: | deathcarrot@jkasus ~ $ amixer info
Card default 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xfebfc000 irq 16'
Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC660'
Components : 'HDA:10ec0660 HDA:15433155'
Controls : 14
amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument
|
| Code: | deathcarrot@jkasus ~ $ dmesg | tail -n 7
...
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64

hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x15
hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x8
hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x15
hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID=0x15

(gets added every time I '/etc/init.d.alsamixer start')
Bits that might help:

|
|
Hi DeathCarrot,
I have the same kernel version but use the Kernel ALSA 1.0.12rc2.
Shouldn't make much difference.
Read
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA_Configuration.txt
There you'll find:
ALC861/660
3stack 3-jack
3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig 6-jack with SPDIF I/O
auto auto-config reading BIOS (default)
These are options of module snd_hda_intel
Enter this in
/etc/modules.d/alsa
like
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 model=3stack
call modules-update
Restart alsa with
/etc/init.d/alsasound stop (if module is in use kill artsd or esd)
/etc/init.d/alsasound start (restart may be to fast)
Try again with
speaker-test
Repeat above with different model settings.
If this was successful, please describe here.
I wish you luck,
Frerk

Thanks for the suggestions, but I couldn't get any to work  speaker-test looks like it thinks it's playing a sound but nothing's coming out of the speakers and I can't access any mixers with any of the ALC861/660 options.
| Code: | deathcarrot@jkasus ~ $ speaker-test
speaker-test 1.0.14rc2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.664821
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.986303
0 - Front Left
