I am using Linuxfromscratch on an HP ENVY m6 Sleekbook, Model K0100dx. This laptop has Beats Audio. I have just installed and configured ALSA-1.0.27. I get no sound output when I run <speaker-test>. Here is the output: > speaker-test 1.0.27.2 > > Playback device is default > Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels > Using 16 octaves of pink noise > Channels count (1) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument > Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument aplay -l > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: 92HD91BXX Analog > [92HD91BXX Analog] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1 is set as default in ~/.asoundrc Using alsamixer I can change the volume of the beeps coming from my computer. I am using xfce4 desktop and I currently have no other sound programs installed except ALSA and gstreamer which was a dependency for some of the other things that I did. I discovered that there is a package called "hda-jack-retask" that has become part of "alsa-tools" in Ubuntu. The documentation says that this is necessary on a system that uses "Beats Audio" because of the default way Linux handles laptop speakers. Using this tool I still have not been successful. What I have done is remap the pins as suggested in a "HowTo" here http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105284 and then again run <speaker-test>. As I said, I have not yet been successful in coaxing sound from my speakers. I have run "alsa-info.sh" and have its output. If it's needed I'll run it again and post the link. However, I'm beginning to think that this package needs something "higher level" to work. I know that Ubuntu and Debian install PulseAudio by default and am wondering if I need that layer to produce my sound. I will be grateful for any information, suggestions or directions.
