Bratmon,

So far, so good, are you dual booting with Windows, or moving the speakers between systems?
The speakers must be plugged into the light green coloured jack socket.

Yes, this is a dual boot system.

Hi, one thing I see that has not been mentioned yet,

The kernel module for pc-speaker (the beep!)

May not apply to a laptop, but with a desktop system I had to disable it to get my sound to work.

lsmod | grep pcspkr

Quote:
PC speaker enabled by default

you can disable it completely by creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/disable-pcspkr.conf with the following line:

blacklist pcspkr
reboot the kernel. and test.

There is also a script from alsa you could use to test your system.
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh

HTH, Glenn

That didn't work either. The beep stopped, but there still was no sound.

EDIT: That script is buggy. If used without an Internet connection, it deletes itself. I had to lug my computer all the way downstairs.

sorry, I didn't know it would do that.

type alsa-info --help for some command line options, like no upload, no-check.
Code:
glenn@GamesBox:~$ sh /home/glenn/bin/alsa-info.sh --help                         (08-09 10:05)
alsa-info.sh version 0.4.58

Available options:
        --with-aplay (includes the output of aplay -l)
        --with-amixer (includes the output of amixer)
        --with-alsactl (includes the output of alsactl)
        --with-configs (includes the output of ~/.asoundrc and
            /etc/asound.conf if they exist)
        --with-devices (shows the device nodes in /dev/snd/)
        --with-dmesg (shows the ALSA/HDA kernel messages)

        --output FILE (specify the file to output for no-upload mode)
        --update (check server for script updates)
        --upload (upload contents to remote server)
        --no-upload (do not upload contents to remote server)
        --pastebin (use http://pastebin.ca) as remote server
            instead www.alsa-project.org
        --stdout (print alsa information to standard output
            instead of a file)
        --about (show some information about the script)
        --debug (will run the script as normal, but will not
             delete /tmp/alsa-info.PU4hCKCDGU/alsa-info.txt)
I personally, don't know how to debug with this script, but some of the info I do know.

Generally the script is used by alsa-wiki-forums to debug alsa and sound probs.

I would google the laptop-sound-noise (brand name) it's a common problem.

I don't have a laptop.

regards Glenn

Seeing your alsa-info output,

Quote:
!!Modprobe options (Sound related)
!!--------------------------------

snd-atiixp-modem: index=-2
snd-intel8x0m: index=-2
snd-via82xx-modem: index=-2
snd-usb-audio: index=-2
snd-usb-us122l: index=-2
snd-usb-usx2y: index=-2
snd-usb-caiaq: index=-2
snd-cmipci: mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
snd-pcsp: index=-2
do you have usb audio?
Code:
snd-usb-audio: index=-2
snd-usb-us122l: index=-2
snd-usb-usx2y: index=-2
snd-usb-caiaq: index=-2
also, they all have the same index.

You can change this, but mandriva system files may be different to ubuntu.

/etc/modprobe.conf (notice the sound-slot- & index numbers?)
Code:
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /sbin/modprobe pata_amd; /sbin/modprobe usb_storage; /bin/true
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true
options usb_storage delay_use=10 swi_tru_install=1
install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true
#snd_usb_audio
remove snd_usb_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_usb_audio
install snd_usb_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_usb_audio
options snd_usb_audio enable=1 index=0 id=UA25EX
alias sound-slot-0 snd_usb_audio
#snd_hda_intel
remove snd_hda_intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_hda_intel
install snd_hda_intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_hda_intel
options snd_hda_intel index=1 id=ALC883
alias sound-slot-1 snd_hda_intel
corresponding files....

/etc/modprobe.d/snd-usb-audio
Code:
install snd-usb-audio test -f /var/lock/subsys/alsa && /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-usb-audio
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mdv
Code:
# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug
# see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat

blacklist rivatv

# For some bridges both intel-agp and i82875p_edac are loaded. If i82875p_edac
# is loaded first it will grab the device. Then intel-agp doesn't work.
# Therefore we disable automatic loading of 82875p_edac. (Bug 213840)
# https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213840
blacklist i82875p_edac

# do not use "Boot Protocol" drivers, we prefer usbhid
# and they cause problems when loaded together with usbhid (#37726, #40861)
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist pcspkr
Then you still have the usb-audio references to deal with.

try booting with no usb gadgets connected and see what lsmod gives you then.

Otherwise you may add them to the blacklist too.

When I tried these, I couldn't get sound through the gui, but the command line beep started coming through my speakers. Also on ctrl+alt+F1, the system tells me:

Warning! All config files need .conf /etc/modprobe.d/snd-usb-audio, it will be ignored in a future release.

Warning: Depreciated config file /etc/modprobe.conf all config files belong in /etc/modprobe.d

Update: I fixed the bad files.

Edit: I don't really think this belongs in "Ubuntu".

EDIT: It's working! After a little bit more fiddling, and an upgrade to Karmic, it's working fine now!

That's excellent news, Bratmon.

I've been watching, but had nothing to offer.

And yes it is a Ubuntu thing, but also GNU/Linux and the sound servers/mixers.

The warnings you got, were not errors, but notification that changes are coming.

Cheers, all the best...

Regards Glenn
