Hello. I have seen that the Soundcard "nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" should work with alsa. However, I cannot get it working under my HP Pavilion dv6010ea Laptop. First some Information about my System: I am using Debian Etch ----------------------------------------------------------------- # uname -r 2.6.18-4-486 ----------------------------------------------------------------- # lspci 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2) 00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2) 00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) 00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 (rev a2) 00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 (rev a2) 00:00.7 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 (rev a2) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge (rev a3) 00:0a.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP51 SMBus (rev a3) 00:0a.3 Co-processor: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PMU (rev a3) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev f1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev f1) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d6 (rev a1) 07:05.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0832 07:05.1 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (r ev 19) 07:05.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0843 (rev 01) 07:05.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) 07:05.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05) ----------------------------------------------------------------- # lspci -n 00:00.0 0500: 10de:02f7 (rev a2) 00:00.1 0500: 10de:02fa (rev a2) 00:00.2 0500: 10de:02fe (rev a2) 00:00.3 0500: 10de:02f8 (rev a2) 00:00.4 0500: 10de:02f9 (rev a2) 00:00.5 0500: 10de:02ff (rev a2) 00:00.6 0500: 10de:027f (rev a2) 00:00.7 0500: 10de:027e (rev a2) 00:02.0 0604: 10de:02fc (rev a1) 00:03.0 0604: 10de:02fd (rev a1) 00:04.0 0604: 10de:02fb (rev a1) 00:09.0 0500: 10de:0270 (rev a2) 00:0a.0 0601: 10de:0260 (rev a3) 00:0a.1 0c05: 10de:0264 (rev a3) 00:0a.3 0b40: 10de:0271 (rev a3) 00:0b.0 0c03: 10de:026d (rev a3) 00:0b.1 0c03: 10de:026e (rev a3) 00:0d.0 0101: 10de:0265 (rev f1) 00:0e.0 0101: 10de:0266 (rev f1) 00:10.0 0604: 10de:026f (rev a2) 00:10.1 0403: 10de:026c (rev a2) 00:14.0 0680: 10de:0269 (rev a3) 00:18.0 0600: 1022:1100 00:18.1 0600: 1022:1101 00:18.2 0600: 1022:1102 00:18.3 0600: 1022:1103 03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01) 05:00.0 0300: 10de:01d6 (rev a1) 07:05.0 0c00: 1180:0832 07:05.1 0805: 1180:0822 (rev 19) 07:05.2 0880: 1180:0843 (rev 01) 07:05.3 0880: 1180:0592 (rev 0a) 07:05.4 0880: 1180:0852 (rev 05) ----------------------------------------------------------------- If any additional Information is needed, please ask, and I will try to give it. I have tried to install the modules in three ways: 1. Using Debian's module-assistant m-a a-i alsa this worked. But running alsaconf, the Laptop freezed. 2. Using the Source-Deb from packages.debian.org - This didnt even compile. 3. Installing from the Source Tarball ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3.tar.bz2 using ./configure, make, make install, and the card-finding script, and then alsaconf. This time, alsaconf didnt freeze, and I could load the snd-hda-intel-module. Anyway, no matter how I tried, the aftermath always was and is: Trying to play a .wav (or Music from any other Sound-Application, even "yes | aplay" and "yes > /dev/dsp"), makes my PC-Speakers play the first (approx.) half-second of the Sound repeatingly, but not more, as long as the Application runs. I can even hear more than one "channel" (i.e. when using GAIM, multiple accustic Message-Arrived-Notifications are played at the same time, but only the first half second, and are repeated until I completely close GAIM). Could somebody please help me? I have no Idea what to do. Greetings Tknits Kitsahcots ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
