no sound in slackware 12
Hi,
I had contributed to this thread here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=568066 I am still wondering what exactly is going on with my sound issue. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS pci card. I am using a fresh install of Slackware 12 using the default installation kernel. I had made mention of doing another fresh install to just confirm this. It's been a day and I am thinking that I am just going to go ahead and do it. I posted a lspci and a lsmod of my current system in the thread above. I am posting this for anyone else that may have this problem knowing that I could just compile 2.6.22 and most likely things would work, however my ATI drivers installed perfectly and anyone that has an ATI card, this experience is almost unprecedented...lol. I will post my results later. |
Seen a few thread on this.
I haven't checked, but I have seen 3 threads where people recompiled the kernel and alsa started working. I have read that alsa is compiled into this kernel and am curious if a kernel recompile fixes yours.
Think i'm gonna check the make menuconfig here inna min to be sure. |
After a re-install...
During install... I used the default installation kernel. All selections are default except I am using ReiserFS. I am not using lilo on my MBR. I installed it to the boot partition. (root) That's really about it. The first thing I ran when I logged in was alsa config, selected my sound card and then I ran alsamixer. I ran the xserver and checked Kmix. Everything is peachy keen there. Normally I should get sound during the login process to kde. currently I am testing sound in the Control Center/Sound and Multimedia/Sound System and I use the Test Sound button at the bottom. lsmod: snd_seq_midi 10272 0 snd_emu10k1_synth 10112 0 snd_emux_synth 35840 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 9216 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 9984 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_dummy 6788 0 snd_seq_oss 32896 0 snd_seq_midi_event 10112 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq 50640 9 snd_seq_midi,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi _event snd_pcm_oss 42784 0 snd_mixer_oss 18048 1 snd_pcm_oss ipv6 254496 14 pcmcia 34988 0 pcmcia_core 36500 1 pcmcia capability 7304 0 commoncap 9344 1 capability lp 13736 0 parport_pc 27812 1 parport 34760 2 lp,parport_pc pcspkr 6528 0 psmouse 39048 0 snd_emu10k1 131904 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_rawmidi 22560 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_ac97_codec 98980 1 snd_emu10k1 ac97_bus 6016 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 72068 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_device 10508 8 snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawm idi snd_timer 22532 3 snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11528 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 7552 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 10628 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 serio_raw 9220 0 emu10k1_gp 6912 0 snd 47204 13 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi ,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep soundcore 9824 1 snd e1000 122560 0 gameport 15112 2 emu10k1_gp intel_agp 25116 1 agpgart 31432 1 intel_agp sg 30364 0 ata_generic 9220 0 evdev 11904 1 iTCO_wdt 12964 0 iTCO_vendor_support 7172 1 iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 11408 0 shpchp 33172 0 lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P Processor to AGP Controller (rev 02) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82875P/E7210 Processor to PCI to CSA Bridge (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary) 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller 03:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.

nice.
Was hoping you wouldn't have to re-install... but glad to hear you got it working :)

Any resolution to this? I seem to be having the same problem as you, but I am using an Intel onboard HD Audio on my DG965ot board.
I am not as linux savy as thou, so all this recompiling the kernel talk has me scared. :eek: |

I think there should be a sticky on how to re-compile, unless you have alot of important docs on the install you are using, don't fear. The only way to be a little more savvy than the others is without fear, don't be afraid to screw things up because then you'll know how to fix them when they happen again :-) |
im just throwing this possibility in, as my soundblaster card has a funny little quirk, that when its set to '00' in alsamixer it MUTES the card, but toggling to 'MM' actually gives sound. not sure wether you have tried this. a good way of testing this is to have your media player play an mp3 while toggling.
|
The Audigy cards are set to DIGITAL output by default. Scroll all the way to the right and find the channel/setting for the digital output. Hit SPACEBAR or M to change the setting to analog output. Exit alsamixer and then 'alsactl save' to save the configuration. That will enable analog output. My roommate had this problem a few weeks ago.
|
I thought I had the same problem, but after changing the PCM output settings in alsamixer from MM to 00 (by hitting M, thank you jeenam), there was sound again.
@jeenam: I think you made a typo, it's 'alsactl store' to save the settings of alsamixer, not 'alsactl save'. |
My old pc had a weird problem that it would disble the irq that the sound card was using unless I put acpi=off on the kernel cmd line. You dont seem to have that problem. check the kde mixer under swithes,audigy,analog/dig your card may be set to digital output.

It worked for me

FYI Changing MM to 00 worked for me :twocents: |

You're correct, the proper command is 'alsactl store'. Rust...=) |
Hey,
I just installed Slackware 12.0 and I am getting these same sound issues but the tips in here aren't wokring. i have an onboard sound card plus a separate Audigy sound card. I've done the following: -Disabled the onboard sound card in the bios -Ran alsaconf and selected the Audigy card. now when I run alsamixer it defaults to the onboard card. If it's disabled why would it come up? Anyways, I ran alsamixer -c 1 instead to get the audigy card. I unmuted everything and pumped up the volume. Exited then ran alsactl store. Still no sound. I plug my speakers into my onboard card and get sound but not from audigy. any hints or advice? Nick |
