Sound Problems, MSI EX720X laptop
 
I have a MSI 720 series laptop,
debian Lenny installed with kernel 2.6.28-1-686.I have the nvidia driver installed (the "debian way") and wireless working ,thanks to the newer kernel.There are 5 speakers on this thing,4 plus a subwoofer underneath,it has HD sound and hdmi out.I can only get sound out of the woofer-none of the other speakers are working! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! here is the output of lspi;

I don't have a debian box around but can you post;
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Make sure you run alsamixer and unmute as needed
Here is an example go to Code Listing 3.6: Starting alsamixer

I would run alsaconf. You may need to apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-oss
Then you may need to play with alsamixer and the options in that sound file.
Here are some links to some options others have used;

Looks like the ALC1200 and ALC888 are close.
Here are the options for the ACL888;

You *should* be able to get it to work but may take some fooling around with the options and alsamixer. Also not sure how to restart alsa on Debian, but you will need to each time you try someting new. Good Luck and keep me posted.

Success!!!
 
ok I finally got it !! Thanks to your advice I ran alsaconf then added lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and also (for good luck) in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.
The lines I added were:
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
options snd hda-intel model=6stack-dig

Did a reboot and sound works in all 5 speakers --thank you so much for your help!

comprookie2000 03-14-2009 12:51 PM
Super, WOW i don't believe it, you will need to post a how to. If you put one together send it to me if you need a place to put it. Not many people have got it to work, what luck. "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes."
If you have some time you could help out alsa, they like it when you run this script;
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-...s/alsa-info.sh
and post your success on their Bug Tracker;

blind squirrel?
 
Well I gave the laptop to my daughter this last weekend and she was very happy!
The laptop itself is an MSI EX723 17" megabook,specs are:
Intel core2 duo T5800, 2GB DDR2 800 Memory,320 GB SATA HD,Wireless sB/G/N,Bluetooth V2.0 DVD multi drive,HD audio 5 speakers Dolby sound,HDMI out SPDIF out, external SATA port,card reader, Firewire,built in webcam and mic.It came formatted with freedos!
MSI provide drivers for XP as well as Vista (but not linux!) So I split the drive in half and ran a dual boot with XP and debian.
The first problem was after the debian install,no sound, no wireless,web cam works out of the box,bluetooth works(after installing gnome-bluetooth)-even the touch-sensitive buttons on the front panel work! The wireless is an Atheros chip but the default kernel in debian does not include the drivers (even after madwifi install)The audio works just in the sub-woofer in the bottom of the laptop. The Nvidia graphics card was easy to get running with the appropriate kernel headers for 2.6.26 and module-assistant.I found an ath9k driver from one of the ubuntu forums and tried it but the connection with wireless was iffy and I could not get a connection at all to a secured network.After messing around for a day or two I tried the 2.6.28-1 kernel from debian-experimental-kernel and the wireless card worked perfectly-but major problem, kbuild is not current so no kernel headers were available! Did a lot of googleing and found a pre-compiled kbuild for the 28 kernel so after install I could get the kernel headers and run module-assistant for the nvidia drivers,so now I had 2 out of 3 fixed! I upgraded alsa and alsa-base from sid and then ran alsaconf this changed the alsa-base file in /etc/modprobe.d (I don't have the file here as it's in my daughters laptop but it was considerably smaller than the one I originally posted) then I added two lines to the file as mentioned in some of the other forums:
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
options snd hda-intel model=6stack-dig
And the sound problem was fixed!
I will probably have to do some more tweaking when my daughter comes over for a visit (she lives 60 miles away) but debian performs very well on this laptop and the dealer at the store was amazed at how fast it was and the memory usage (or lack of!) compared to vista!.
