Issues w/ SiS Si7012 Integrated Sound Issues
Hello to all reading this. I am a Windows die-hard, normally, trying to see what all this fuss over linux is about. I have tried in the past to install Redhat, but to no avail. Now everything is PnP friendly and colorful and the support seems to be kosher. I picked up a laptop from a local computer store and installed Ubuntu on it:
uname -r 2.6.17-11-generic I have checked the device manager and everything seems to be fine. Media files play as though nothing were awry but sans noise. I have read countless posts concerning this and they all either: a. made absolutely no sense to me (and I am a MSCE) or b. did nothing to help my issue. everyone seems to post a bunch of outputs from terminal so I will not disappoint. lsmod (appropriate entries only included) snd_intel8x0 34844 1 snd_ac97_codec 97696 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 3456 1 snd_ac97_codec evdev 11392 1 snd_pcm_oss 47360 0 snd_mixer_oss 19584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 84612 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 25348 1 snd_pcm snd 58372 8 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11232 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11400 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm sdhci 20108 0 I hope that is enough on that. lspci (only those relating to SiS) 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661FX/M661FX/M661MX Host (rev 11) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS964 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 36) 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 01) 00:02.6 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller (rev a0) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760/761 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SI7012 [SiS SI7012], device 0: Intel ICH [SiS SI7012] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I have installed and messed around with the ALSA mixer for about an hour making sure the external amp was off and volume was not muted. Tried external speakers and no output was received. I've updated my AC'97 codecs and my SiS Drivers with no result. I really want to get this piece working but am about ready to give it up. I am starting to remember why I stopped messing with linux in the first place. Help me... por favor. me <----- noob |
Use alsamixer. For more settings use alsamixer -V all. Some sound cards may need external amplifier unmuted or enabled for sound to work. Other sound cards uses external amplifier for line in or other inputs. Post the output of amixer.
