no sound after upgrade

littledrop · 10-29-2006, 03:23 AM

Hello All,

I upgraded from 10.2 to 11.

Sound card is not detected, so I ran aslaconf. It says no pnp card detected.
It was working prior to upgarde and aslaconf also detected it earlier.

I found rc.modules.bak file. Will this help?

Thanks.

Did you compile the kernel to support for your soundcard's chipset?

Bruce Hill · 10-31-2006, 05:10 PM

Issue "/sbin/lspci | grep -i audio" and post the output here.

You can also run "diff -r rc.modules rc.modules.bak" to see
what is different in those two files. The first file you list
after diff will be noted with < and the second file with > .

Woodsman · 10-31-2006, 05:23 PM

I too had sound problems with 11.0. One thing I noticed with the newer ALSA packages is that running depmod -a tends to reawaken ALSA. Reboot, log in, su to root, type depmod -a, then type alsaconf. Might work, might not.

littledrop · 11-03-2006, 07:58 AM

kernel : 2.4.33

ype depmod -a, then type alsaconf

No Luck!

Do you see intel8x0 with lsmod ?
If not, modprobe intel8x0 and run alsaconf

Bruce Hill · 11-03-2006, 04:58 PM

littledrop,

What is the make and model of your motherboard?

Perhaps the module is called snd-intel8x0

Bruce Hill · 11-04-2006, 09:13 AM

No, it's not Intel. SiS is Silicon Integrated Systems.

A <Linux> Google search turned up this LinuxQuestions.org HCL post but didn't state the actual module.

So I decided to see if it's in the 2.4.33.3 (default Slackware-11.0) kernel:

Code:

mingdao@titus:~$ cat /usr/src/linux-2.4.33.3/.config | grep -i trident
CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT=m
CONFIG_SOUND_TRIDENT=m

And here's what the kernel help has to say:

Quote:

CONFIG_SOUND_TRIDENT: │
│ │
│ Say Y or M if you have a PCI sound card utilizing the Trident │
│ 4DWave-DX/NX chipset or your mother board chipset has SiS 7018 │
│ or ALi 5451 built-in. The SiS 7018 PCI Audio Core is embedded │
│ in SiS960 Super South Bridge and SiS540/630 Single Chipset. │
│ The ALi 5451 PCI Audio Core is embedded in ALi M1535, M1535D, │
│ M1535+ or M1535D+ South Bridge. │
│ │
│ Use lspci -n to find out if your sound card or chipset uses │
│ Trident 4DWave or SiS 7018. PCI ID 1023:2000 or 1023:2001 stands │
│ for Trident 4Dwave. PCI ID 1039:7018 stands for SiS7018. PCI ID │
│ 10B9:5451 stands for ALi5451. │
│ │
│ This driver supports S/PDIF in/out (record/playback) for ALi 5451 │
│ embedded in ALi M1535+ and M1535D+. Note that they aren't all │
│ enabled by default; you can enable them by saying Y to "/proc file │
│ system support" and "Sysctl support", and after the /proc file │
│ system has been mounted, executing the command │
│ │
│ command what is enabled │
│ │
│ echo 0>/proc/ALi5451 pcm out is also set to S/PDIF out. (Default). │
│ │
│ echo 1>/proc/ALi5451 use S/PDIF out to output pcm data. │
│ │
│ echo 2>/proc/ALi5451 use S/PDIF out to output non-pcm data.[/code]
Looking in the kernel modules I see:
[code]mingdao@titus:~$ ls /lib/modules/2.4.33.3/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident

Therefore, you should issue "modprobe snd-trident" and then issue
"alsamixer" and unmute (use the M key) and turn up the volume, then
ESC to exit the mixer and issue "alsactl store" to save the settings.
Issue all those commands in a terminal as root.

Now that you are root (root@mypc), issue "modprobe snd-trident"
and then "lsmod" and post the output of "lsmod" here.

Please use [*code] without the * before your output, and [*/code]
without the * after your output so that it's easy to read, like:

Bruce Hill · 11-05-2006, 11:50 PM

littledrop,

Try doing that again, but this time beofre you "modprobe snd-trident"
please "cd /lib/modules/2.4.33.3/kernel/drivers/sound/"
change directories to where the module is located.

Also, please give us that "lsmod" output.
