I have heard sound from my mac mini line out and it is good. Does anyone have a clue how to get the speaker built into the mini to play? I don't know enought to know how weel this works but I was able to turn on the sound using amixer: amixer sset Master 10 unmute and amixer sset 'PC Speaker' 10 unmute as I said Line out to my stereo receiver sounds great but nothing on the speaker this sound was heard using mplayer playing a mov (mpeg4) file. For those interested, here is the diff to get alsa working on this box: [root@minimac ppc]# diff -Naur pmac.c /usr/src/linux/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11/sound/ppc/ --- pmac.c 2005-03-02 01:38:33.000000000 -0600 +++ /usr/src/linux/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11/sound/ppc/pmac.c 2005-03-21 23:40:35.000000000 -0600 @@ -964,7 +964,8 @@ if (device_is_compatible(sound, "AOAKeylargo")) { /* Seems to support the stock AWACS frequencies, but has a snapper mixer */ - chip->model = PMAC_SNAPPER; + chip->model = PMAC_AWACS; + //chip->model = PMAC_SNAPPER; // chip->can_byte_swap = 0; /* FIXME: check this */ chip->control_mask = MASK_IEPC | 0x11; /* disable IEE */ } Any tips appreciated.
