Hi list. I'm new here. I checked the archives, but nothing there seems relevant to this. This is a new machine; AMD Turion 64 bit running Sidux xfce (Debian based), stock kernel. I've run alsaconf as root, and fiddled with volume with alsamixergui. I've re-started alsa. I've never heard a peep from the sound system. Playing a .wav file produces: Playing WAVE '/home/keeling/snd/sparcle.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono but no sound. Here's some of what I've found. A Google search turns up something suggesting (this w a dv7): options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=hp-m4 # 5Dex.Jpa__qQ4asA:SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel # l4dC.vfAxXUx5zd4:RS780 Azalia controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel to no effect. Please suggest things I can try to sort it out. Thanks. -------------------------- (0) newmil /home/keeling_ uname -a Linux newmil 2.6.28-2.slh.2-sidux-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 26 22:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (0) newmil /home/keeling_ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xd2500000 irq 16 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd2410000 irq 19 (0) newmil /home/keeling_ lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 533300 1 snd_pcm_oss 47616 0 snd_mixer_oss 21248 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 90888 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 7428 0 snd_page_alloc 14736 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 12936 1 snd_hda_intel snd_seq_oss 37760 0 snd_seq_midi 11648 0 snd_rawmidi 29568 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 12544 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 62048 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 28304 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 12180 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 73800 12 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_hwdep,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 12960 1 snd (0) newmil /home/keeling_ lspci | grep ATI ... 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) ... 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller (0) newmil /home/keeling_ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0 (0) newmil /home/keeling_ aptitude search alsa | egrep '^i' i alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files i alsa-oss - ALSA wrapper for OSS applications i alsa-utils - ALSA utilities i alsamixergui - graphical soundcard mixer for ALSA soundca i libesd-alsa0 - Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - Shared l i libsdl1.2debian-alsa - Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and ALS i xfce4-mixer-alsa - Xfce4 Mixer ALSA backend (0) newmil /home/keeling_ aptitude show alsa-base Package: alsa-base State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-4 -------------------------- -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
