Problem with Realtek ALC889 sound card on Wheezy (7.1)
I'm running debian wheezy (7.1.0), and I have an onboard realtek ALC889 sound card (The mother board is Gigabyte HA65M-D2H-B3)
The computer produces a really loud static noise, and I can't see the speakers on the Gnome sound menu. I think the problem is with ALSA, but I'm not sure. Help? |
hi
based on specs here http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/...px?pid=3914#sp you have Quote:
based on this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/posting.php...b2194ebddef1bf your codec of alc889 means you can modify your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and append this line and reboot Quote:
you will need root powers to edit that file, as I don't know how comfortable you are with cli try Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but I run debian unstable so if that file does not exist, you have just created it check it exists and report before appending pls |
I did what you suggested, didn't change anything. Any other ideas?
|
upload an image of your current output to either a image site or as an attachment.
Code:
alsamixer -V all 3) does this static noise change when you do something...if so what did you do b) do you hear music when you play it or only static? |

The static noise doesn't change. I can hear other sounds though, but again- with the static noise. |
hi
go back into that alsamixer, press the right hand arrow to move to each in turn and @ headphone..press m to mute @ lfe......ditto @ cd....(for the moment) ditto @ spdifs...press m to mute @ capture ...press space bar to de-activate test sound if static clears redo only one at time, reverse my request...meaning pressing m to unmute or space bar to activate ---hopefuly we find the culprit....I am betting on lfe 2) I don't have hdmi myself....where is sound coming out of? 3) press the F6 button and report if another sound device shows or not, only if shows...a screenshot pls |
Did everything you said, didn't help... I even tried to mute everything later, I still have the static noise, no other sounds. No other devices show up in F6
(Edit: The speakers are connected by the front/headphone port, I unmuted it) |
ok what media players have your tried pls?
also name the format you are testing eg mp3 or wav or mpg etc with vlc, it is supposed to play most formats without extra codecs but I await your response EDIT https://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs https://wiki.debian.org/NewInWheezy Quote:

I won't edit above any more but in case its a lib file here are my debian sid stuff
Code:
dpkg -l | grep libav |
your problem may be pulseaudio
I have same sound chip in a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 using KDE on wheezy 7.1 On X start I would get crackling noise but nothing else. I dont know what the deal was with pulseaudio but I didnt really seem to need it for anything I want to do removed it got audio chipset detected properly by ALSA and could open kmixer and see audio jacks plugged in and got sound. just my experience and 2 cents |
The static sound plays even when I don't play anything, so I don't think it's important what media players I tried. Now sure of what to do now

I managed to fix the problem! Just turned the master and fromt volume very high on alsamixer. Static is probably still there, but since the other volumes are high I can turn down the speaker volume and barely hear it. Thanks!
