Hello, on my wife's ThinkPad running Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) and ALSA 1.0.14 I get no sound. But using the Gutsy live CD the sound works (and on my desktop with the same sound chip (and Gutsy) but rev 01 instead of rev 02 sound works, too)... It's quite strange since I compared those files from the live CD and the installed system I thought they were worth to: - /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: no differences - /etc/modules: the installed system loads lp and sbp2 additionally - $ lsmod | grep snd: no differences - md5sum of /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko: identical I also compared the corresponding start scripts from the installation and the live cd---but there are also no differences. Where can I look for differences to get the sound on the ThinkPad to work? I already tried to load the module with different options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (e. g.: options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad) as described in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz. And I booted the ThinkPad with "acpi=off noapic" boot parameters, but it did not help. I used alsamixer, the GNOME panel volume control, and the volume control buttons of the ThinkPad to turn volume to 100% and it's not muted. Further, in the BIOS the modem is activated. Here is some more information (I hope it's everything you need to know): $ uname -r 2.6.22-14-generic $ lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xee400000 irq 21 $ head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec* ==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 <== Codec: Analog Devices AD1981 ==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 <== Codec: Conexant ID 2bfa $ lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 263712 1 snd_pcm_oss 44672 0 snd_pcm 80388 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss 17664 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 4740 0 snd_seq_oss 33152 0 snd_seq_midi 9600 0 snd_rawmidi 25728 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 8448 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 53232 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 24324 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 9228 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 54660 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 8800 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11400 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm $ aplay -vv <file.wav> Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 1 rate : 22050 exact rate : 22050 (22050/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 7526 period_size : 470 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 0 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 470 xfer_align : 470 start_threshold : 7520 stop_threshold : 7526 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 493223936 Slave: Route conversion PCM (sformat=S16_LE) Transformation table: 0 <- 0 1 <- 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 1 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 0 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1024 xfer_align : 1024 start_threshold : 16384 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 Slave: Direct Stream Mixing PCM Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 0 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1024 xfer_align : 1024 start_threshold : 16384 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 Hardware PCM card 0 'HDA Intel' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 4000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1024 xfer_align : 1024 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 1073741824 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 1073741824 boundary : 1073741824 # +| 98%% Best regards Christoph -- +++ Typografie-Regeln: http://zvisionwelt.de/downloads.html (1.6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
