Mandrake 9.2: Installed Alsa, now no sound. Infamous nVidia nForce1.


All right. In trying to solve one problem, it seems I've gone back to square one.

I'm running Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1(the 9.2 release version), I am running the 2.4.22-10mdkenterprise kernel. This installation is about 4 months old. After installation, I had sound as Mandrake automatically updated to this kernel because of my chipset, the infamous and notorious NVidia Nforce2 chipset. I was able to do many things, except set default startup volume. Myself being the purist that I am found this unacceptable. I read in many places that I should install ALSA so that I have full functionality. I figured what the heck.

I followed the procedure exactly as listed at:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...intel8x0#intro

I adjusted the volumes as recommended through AlsaMixer. When I went to save with AlsaCtrl, I found that it is missing. After an extensive search, I have come to the conclusion that it is not installed on my computer. I installed Aumix to see if it would let me adjust volumes, but everytime I try to move the main "PCM" volume slider from 0 to 100, it moves, by itself, back to 0. KMix is of no help, although I now have more channels than I did previously. I just now have no sound what-so-ever.

dmesg outputs this:

I've read in several places that in order to have AlsaCtrl, I have to install Alsa Tools, but the tools package that is on their website does not appear to contain this.

My main questions are:
1. How do I get Alsa up and running from here?
2. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall alsa? If so, how is that done with a tar.bz2 package?
3. How can I get AlsaCtrl and Alsaconfig installed?
4. If I can't get it up and running properly, how do I go back to the setup I had previously, so that I at least have 90% satisfaction?

Any information you have on this would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

Alex

Hi Dangerboy

do not feel alone...i have the same problems....been working on it for weeks
downloaded the alsa driver from asus (from whence i got my motherboard)
followed instructions to the tee...still nothing..i joined ur thread to c if u get some answers...if i get one i'll get back to u....

Damn...everythings working on my linux box but sound...

did an lsmod...all the snd drivers are oss...it's like i never installed alsa..

i'm starting to think that the old drivers should have been deleted first

linux is a learning process...lol...i'm learning alot while trying to configure....

till next time
good luck
Tom

I actually have good news:
I know now that it is "alsactl" and NOT "alsactrl" and that I do, indeed, have it installed. I also plugged a mic into my mic port and I have sound so I know the driver is working. Now If I could just get the damned PCM Volume up.

This was the basic procedure:

I went into Mandrake Control Center> Hardware> Hardrake> nForce Audio Codec Interface> Run Config Tool Button(draksound), and made sure "ALSA" snd-intel8x0 was selected as the driver.


I made sure that the module was loaded with in root console:
modprobe snd-intel8x0


I made sure my modules.conf had it loading properly, it looks like this (only the sound info shown):

#begin code#
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
#end code#


I turned up all my volumes, and plugged in a mic and had sound. Then stored the settings.
I ran in root console:
alsamixer
alsactl store 0


Now if I can just get my PCM Volume to budge I will be ready to rock.
Anyone know how to get the PCM Volume to budge?

Alex

Thanks Alex

i'm gonna play around with your suggestions...did u delete the oss modules before installing alsa? if u did please tell me how u did it.
damn i'm so close...lol
i will let u know how i did
although having to plug things into the mic port seems extreme...it should run thru the regular out port....
i swear that if i figure it out i'm gonna write a how-to so everyone else can see what i did

thanks again
Tom

Yeah mic ports aren't all that great, but desperate times call for desperate measures. lol
And no, I didn't delete the original oss drivers, I installed over them (smart? i don't know).

I just want to turn my PCM volume up is that too much to ask? lol

Pokin around once again and I'm getting the feeling that something isn't installed right. I keep getting this error message when I run KMIX and I'm wondering if there is something that can be done:

kbuildsycoca running...

Not entirely sure what to think. I've looked at other posts, and still no definitive answers. If anyone knows a post that deals with this issue and this hardware, as well as ALSA, please post it. I'm a sound addict in need of my Linux Sound fix, literally. lol

if your using Manrake 9.2 you have to install Kmix with RPMdrak...
go into config --> software installation --> hit the button for looking at individual packages, not groups...then do a search for "Kmix"
it installs pretty easy..and if your computer is having a problem with the sound card...the Kmix window will be empty after the install

good luck

What happens when you run "alsamixer" - and remember that linux is case sensitive.
I have a nforce2 mobo and my sound is working fine.

When I run alsamixer, I am able to graphically adjust all volumes and and store these settings with alsactl. It gives me no error messages whatsoever. Kmix seems to reflect these settings and I have yet to try Tom's suggestion. I'll let you know how that goes. Also, should I have arts running by default, or should it be disabled?

And as far as reinstalling kmix....... all the channels are there. So something else is amiss.

Check the sound device permissions.

How do I do that exactly? I'm learning more and more, but permissions still have me confused.

Have a look at "man chmod" for information on changing permissions, the devices you want to check are /dev/dsp*, /dev/midi*, /dev/mixer*, /dev/sequencer* and the device files in /dev/snd/.
