A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1943> ====================================================================== Reported By: hazelsct Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 1943 Category: PCI - ali5451 Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new Distribution: Debian etch Kernel Version: 2.6.8 through 2.6.15-rc5 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 03-19-2006 16:15 CET Last Modified: 06-20-2006 19:47 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: No sound since ~2.6.3 Description: Greetings, Running Debian woody/sarge/etch, the last time sound worked on my Fujitsu Lifebook P2120 was with 2.6.3 (or maybe 2.6.5, but not with 2.6.8 or anything since). Esd doesn't work, nor do system beeps, and GNOME volume control says no volume control elements are found. I can get ALSA working with 2.6.8 on all of my other machines, and with 2.6.15 on all that I have tried. alsamixer runs and shows levels which I can change, but still no sound. An identical ALSA setup worked with sarge under 2.6.3 but not 2.6.8. Tried running alsaconf again to no avail. Under 2.6.3, at least when doing hardware mute and then un-mute (Fn-F3), un-mute beeps; on newer kernels, there's no beep. Now under Debian etch (testing), even 2.6.3 no longer works properly: sounds played through esd simply repeat the first second or so over and over again. I keep upgrading the kernel (most recently to 2.6.16-rc5 in experimental) hoping that this time it will finally work, but it hasn't in that long... Debian etch has alsa 1.0.10-3, and lsmod shows the following sound modules installed: snd_ali5451 20172 1 snd_ac97_codec 82784 1 snd_ali5451 snd_ac97_bus 2048 1 snd_ac97_codec soundcore 8672 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9800 1 snd_pcm lspci shows: 0000:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 01) What other information would help to diagnose/fix this problem? Thanks, Adam ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 06-20-06 19:41 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Check whether it's a driver but or another system regression. If you see the entry in /proc/asound/cards after loading snd-ali5451 module, the driver is mostly OK. If not, you should have kernel error messages. Compile with debug option, --with-debug=full for alsa-driver configure script. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hazelsct - 06-20-06 19:47 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, that's a lot of work. Oh, cool. On the Debian alioth alsa list, someone suggested something which fixed the problem, so all done.
