Sound problems Mandriva 2006 Ali5xxx(ALSA) On old toshiba laptop
 

Hello every body, This is my first post!!! Very Happy

ok, I am having problems with my Laptop Toshiba Satellite 1800-S203 which has an ALi5xxx sound chip. After the sound service is initiated an strange sound sounds in the background like some kind of interference. I have normal sound cause I hear the welcome sound at start up, but the annoying interference sound persist. I did not have this problems with MD2005LE.

Can some body help me Smile Thank you in advance

That's weird. Any errors in /var/log/messages? or /var/log/boot.log? Do you know if the system has configured the correct chipset for you, maybe it didn't recognize it?

It looks like 2006 runs alsa 1.0.9, there have been a few fixes for ali5 modules (turning off DRA since it's not supported, etc..), as well as lots of fixes in non-chipset-specific areas, so you could try to update it (urpmi --keep FILENAME should work): http://www.alsa-project.org/

Ok, I will try. Thank you.

It didnt work.

I had upgraded from 1.09b to 1.10 rc2 with no good results.
I did a downgrade as well to 1.08 version, with the same effect.

I think is the alsa drivers, but maybe it is the laptop mode service which is executed right after alsa when booting up. What do you guys think?

Sorry, I've got no clue. :(
