I have a problem with my Asus M5A laptop. ALSA drivers 1.0.9 that come with SUSE produce very low volume even with all volumes set to 100%. I tried removing the driver and compiling my own, the same result. And yes, I read the 0001176 bug report that speaks of exactly the same issue. The problem is 1.0.9 runs flawlessly but very quiet and although the compilation and installation of 1.0.10rc1 went fine, while modprobing I get: # /etc/init.d/alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_hda_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.8-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) done The dmesg is as follows: # dmesg -c snd: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. snd_timer: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. snd_pcm: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. snd_pcm: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_reserve_buf snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_reserve_buf, st_info == 0x1 snd_pcm: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_free_pages snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_free_pages, st_info == 0x1 snd_pcm: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_get_reserved_buf snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_get_reserved_buf, st_info == 0x1 snd_pcm: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_alloc_pages snd_pcm: Unknown symbol snd_dma_alloc_pages, st_info == 0x1 load_module: err 0xfffffffe (dont worry) snd_hda_codec: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. snd_hda_codec: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_codec: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_step, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_codec: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_format_width, st_info == 0x1 load_module: err 0xfffffffe (dont worry) snd_hda_intel: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_new, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_limit_hw_rates, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_bus_new, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_build_pcms, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_codec_new, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_free_pages snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_dma_free_pages, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_queue_unsol_event, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_ioctl, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_free_pages, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_calc_stream_format, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_set_ops, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_suspend, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_suspend_all, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_resume, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_hda_build_controls, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: disagrees about version of symbol snd_dma_alloc_pages snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_dma_alloc_pages, st_info == 0x1 snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed, st_info == 0x1 load_module: err 0xfffffffe (dont worry) It seems like the drivers were compiled for another kernel, am I right? But the strange thing is the same ./configure, make, make install procedure with 1.0.9 works just flawlessly. I'm sorry if the problem comes from my lack of Linux knowledge. I just hope we'll get a solution to this one. I'll provide any help you'll need. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kSh - 09-07-05 22:15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, there IS one problem, though. One I thought would be solved by position_fix=1. I mean the sound is clicky at times, the artifacts sound like crushed cellophane or faulty cables when you touch them: these are high-pitch clicks and pops. The clicks are heard on high-volume music fragments but not on all of them and this effect is not related with volume adjustments (100% volume produces as many pops as volumes at 50%.. below 40% however I can barely hear anything so I can't really tell for sure) or LFE (bass-boost) that I have always set to 0%. position_fix produces the same effects for 0, 1 and 2 values. What can I do? (this issue is related with 0001380) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- avuton - 12-18-05 22:43 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Does 1.0.11pre1 fix the 'clicky' sound?
