Dear Takashi, Thank you for your reply. 2008/6/25 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>: > The patch below enables the probe on 4th slot on SCH. Thank you for your patch. I have applied your patch and recompiled the snd-hda-intel kernel module. A reload of the newly compiled driver stiil gives me the "no codec found!" output in dmesg. After inserting some snd_printk() into the hda_intel.c, it seems that this "azx_readw()" macro in azx_reset() function returns a "0" to chip->codec_mask on our not-working device. It is returns a "1" on the other working device though. <hda_intel.c> -- snip -- 751 /* detect codecs */ 752 if (!chip->codec_mask) { 753 chip->codec_mask = azx_readw(chip, STATESTS); 754 snd_printk("codec_mask = 0x%x\n", chip->codec_mask); -- snip -- <dmesg> -- snip -- PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 ALSA /root/alsa-driver-1.0.17rc2/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:2069: chipset global capabilities = 0x2200 ALSA /root/alsa-driver-1.0.17rc2/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:912: HDA snoop disabled, enabling ...

But would this be some kind of hint? -- Sincerely, Jyo _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
