Re: hda-intel codec not being detected on ICH9 chipset

Stan,

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked in /etc/alsa but there's only a file alsa-source.conf and I can't locate any other places where a card directory might be. /usr/share/alsa is where they all seem to be.

First can I say if I should post this question somewhere else, please accept my apologies and let me know where!

I am running ubuntu 8.04 on an Intel DQ35MP motherboard which has built-in ICH9 (ALC268 I believe) HD audio chipset. The kernel is 2.6.24-17-server

When I first installed the desktop version of Ubuntu (acually it was 7.10) the audio worked. I'm not sure exactly at which point it stopped working but it might have been when I re-installed with -server version.

I have trawled the web and tried many things but I just cannot get the hda-intel driver to see the codec on my motherboard.

alsa-info.sh captured details are at http://pastebin.ca/1021799

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing alsa using apt-get purge and apt-get install
I have tried building and installing the packagae from realtek (but that's only alsa-project's latest stable build any way I think)
I have downloaded built and installed the hot daily build from alsa-project.org <http://alsa-project.org> and still no luck.

Currently running 1.0.16 built on 20080516: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2 <ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2>

Additional info (Might already be in info capture)

 From demsg:

I have also tried using varous MODEL= options to loading the module (5stack, 3stack, acer)
I have not yet tried doing anything with the debug option because I don't know how to use it.

Any help appreciated.
Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Peter

 
You seem to have covered the bases.  Your OS is recognizing the card, but alsa isn't.   Are you sure it is looking at the right cards directory?  The official alsa one is in /usr/share/alsa but different distributions put the files in different places.  It might still be looking at the old file.   I'm not sure where that would be on Ubuntu, on redhat clones in /etc/alsa.

There are a lot of problems with hda-intel (at least on this list), not because of the chip, but because everyone seems to use it differently.  It is possible your configuration hasn't been implemented yet.  You could ask on alsa-devel.
