no sound with intel sound chip


Hi,
not able to get integrated sound to work. Works fine in WindowsXP. Using up2date Fedora Core 4.

The system:

Code:
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation: Unknown device e213
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        Memory at ffac0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
        Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0
        Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
        Capabilities: [130] Unknown (5)
Code:
# uname -r
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
# rpm -qa|grep alsa
alsa-utils-1.0.10-1.FC4
alsa-lib-1.0.10-3.FC4
Code:
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e100
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
I tried commenting the 'remove' line out, that didn't help.

Code:
# lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_intel          18497  2
snd_hda_codec          82373  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_seq_dummy           3781  0
snd_seq_oss            31809  0
snd_seq_midi_event      7105  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                49617  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          9037  3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            50545  0
snd_mixer_oss          17985  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                87493  3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              25029  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    54437  11 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               9889  2 snd
snd_page_alloc         10697  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
Something broken:
Code:
# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
alsamixer fails, never see anything.
Code:
# system-config-soundcard
amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument
Launches despite the error. "Play test sound" fails - I hear nothing. The PCM is ALC880 Analog.

I tried moving the /etc/asound.state away, in the hopes it was corrupt. No change.

In KMix there are only four sliders: Line, Microphone, Pcm2 and IGain, all in OUTPUT tab. It's the only tab too. I tried setting them all to the maximum. Pcm2 can only be set to 0 or 100 per cent, but nothing inbetween.

I've googled quite a lot and found a few solutions, none of them helped me.

Hope you can help. Thanks for looking into it,

kilgor

Just one hint which might not solve your problem. I see you are trying to load ALSA mixer, but you already have OSS loaded. If you want to use Alsa, you have to prevent OSS from loading.

Somewhere (even on this forum) it is explained how to do that, but I don't remember how.
