Hi Colleen, > I'm tearing my hair out by the roots here. I don't know if the problem > is Alsa or something else because I *do* have sound. However, I do not > have sound when I try to play an audio CD, although I can rip the CD to > my hard drive and then, I can hear it. I do have a Dell XPS M1710 and AFAICT alsa works as advertised. I'm on SuSE 10.2. While I'm using a (more or less) current daily snapshot I remember it used to work with 1.0.13 and all versions I tried since then. > Output from ' aplay -l' is: > > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] > Subdevices: 0/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > (don't know if this is relevant) Interesting. I do get: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 In my /etc/modprobe.d I have a file 'sound' which contains: options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 # u1Nb.OsGRUMftmc4:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel > On the *laptop* (XPS M1710), Kmix shows only the following items for > output: > Master > PCM > Capture Mux > > On the laptop, Kmix shows only Mic as Input I usually use alsamixer from the console, but invoking Kmix it shows: Output: Master, PCM, Capture Mux, Digital Input: Capture, Capture Mux, Digital Switch IEC958 and a dropdrow listbox 'Input Source' with Mic, Front Mic, Line At the bottom of the Kmix window there also is a PAN slider. > If someone can offer some direction here, I would appreciate it. Don't remember since when I have this digital device, i.e. I'm not sure I had it from the very beginning. However I'm not sure I would have noticed a non working CD sound because I almost never use that. To sum it up: There exists a working setup for your HW.
