Problem configuring sound card with alsa on debian

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
    I am trying to unable to configure my sound card on debian. The sound system that I have is Terratec SiXPack 5.1+. There is no sound on my system and on running alsamixer I see the following ouput:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Doing lspci | grep audio says:

01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)

If I run alsaconf, the driver for the card is not listed (as per the http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx, it should be cs46xx). Choosing any of the listed driver doesn´t help either and gives the following output:

-------------
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-bt87x snd-pcm snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device snd-page-alloc.
Building card database...

Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1497: No soundcards found...
===============================================================================
 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!

I tried installing module-assistant and then using the command

sudo module-assistant -t a-i alsa-source

I built the alsa. I am not sure if I need to do anything else apart from this for building alsa with module-assistant.  I tried running alsaconf but I don´t see the driver for cs46xx listed. I have tried building the module myself as per the instructions on http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx but only for alsa-driver with the following command:

./configure --with-cards=cs46xx --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install
And then if I try to do modprobe snd-cs46xx, it complains that this module doesn´t exist.

Doing lsmod | grep snd gives the following output (when with alsaconf, I chose the cs4232 as the driver).

snd_cs4232             11508  0
snd_opl3_lib            9696  1 snd_cs4232

soundcore               6368  1 snd


I am not sure what is it that I am doing wrong.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Divick
