Hi Daniel, Same situation for me on my VGN-AR71S (same sound-hardware AFAIK, no From: nixvitae@xxxxxxxxxxx To: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 03:19:50 -0300 Subject: Help needed with limited audio functionality on Vaio VGN-AR51SU (PCG-8Z1M) Hi, I'm yet another newcomer to Linux in need of help... I can't get the following to function on my Vaio VGN-AR51SU (PCG-8Z1M) under Ubuntu 8.10; Microphone, internal &/or external (jack). SPDIF. HDMI audio. Internal speakers function well with no model specific option chosen in alsa.base. Mixer has controls for all devices (Volume, mic, line in, cd, pcm, etc.) Mic/recording devices do not function, headphone jack works (sound in headphones), but does not mute internal speakers. Using the model=vaio option in alsa.base results in proper function of the headphone jack. Using this option however results in the loss of all volume controls in the mixer, except "master"(pulse audio, (only mixer available with this option active)). Using the model=vaio-ar option results in the TV tuner (SAA7131/7133/7135) and ALC262 to become the only available sound devices, (hda-intel disappears). No functioning sound using either choice of device with this option. again only "master" ctrl in mixer. I have had mixed but no satisfactory results using other model=xx options for laptops with same/similar audio devices. Currently running alsa 1.0.1.17. From what I have been able to glean from the web, later versions (1.0.1.19) does not fix this so I have not upgraded. reported: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4476 But hope someone out there has already managed to come up with a "functioning" solution ;) The laptop originally came with Win-Vista. Original Vista driver for ALC262 was Realtek high definition audio codec (optical spdif) Original Vista driver for other sound devices (speakers, mic & hdmi) Sigmatel high definition audio codec. Original setup (Vista) does not allow for simultaneous output from spdif, hdmi, and all other audio. It does however allow for switching between the three. If I could get all audio devices working that would be WONDERFUL. Truth be told, I'll be more than happy to settle for geting the internal mic functioning as I really need (read want) to be able to scype my wife when I am abroad. I'm not sure what info you need, but this seems to be what most are providing; ____________ $ uname -a Linux zzzzz 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:00:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ____________ $ lspci -vv 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Sony Corporation Device 9016 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 22 Region 0: Memory at fc300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel ____________ $ dmesg [ 14.208776] saa7134 0000:08:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 14.208787] saa7133[0]: found at 0000:08:04.0, rev: 209, irq: 22, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfc006800 [ 14.208798] saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:e836, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] [ 14.208808] saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is a400000 [ 14.356019] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 61 14 36 e8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [ 14.356029] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356037] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 02 02 01 01 03 08 ff 00 00 ff ff ff ff [ 14.356046] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356054] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff 65 00 ff c2 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356063] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356071] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356079] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356088] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 80: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356096] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 90: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356105] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom a0: 0d ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356113] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom b0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356122] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom c0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356131] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom d0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356139] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom e0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.356147] saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom f0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff [ 14.360173] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 [ 14.360197] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 14.361051] saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] [ 14.361081] saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0 [ 14.380388] saa7134 ALSA driver for DMA sound loaded [ 14.380412] saa7133[0]/alsa: saa7133[0] at 0xfc006800 irq 22 registered as card -2 [ 14.396882] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC262, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
