kernel 2.6.32: alsactl error: Unknown hardware
Just fired up the 2.6.32 kernel. Having some problem with my soundcard. This is a laptop, and the soundcard is a SigmaTel HD (by intel). Here is the line for it in in lspci:
Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) Code:
Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" "SigmaTel STAC9200" "HDA:83847690,102801cd,00102201 HDA:14f12bfa,14f100c3,00090000" "" "" The sound works almost fine, but when I'm playing media it begins to distort and skip and sound all awful. Any ideas on this one? |
Just re-run alsaconf as root. Then alsactl store.

Thanks, that did the trick.

Should be OK, that is the most common low end laptop configuration
|
I spoke too soon.. this doesn't fix the clicking. The error message goes away, but still shows up when I use "alsactl init".
Its very glitchy sounding, I wonder what the difference is between this and 2.6.29.6? |
Why are you using "alsactl init"? You should run alsaconf once and let it detect your sound card, then run alsamixer and set your volume levels [which you can later adjust through kmix,etc.] and then alsactl store. On starting the system, alsactl restore will be called and your sound device should be initialized.
