Low volume with alsa on nVidia audio device


Hello,

I recently bought a new pc and successfully installed debian lenny.
Now I'm trying to configure the sound card and despite is recognised correctly, I get a very low volume. Mixer sliders are at 100%.

This is the hardware: http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/ITX-JBC230C63P-330.html

And here you have some information:

Output of lspci -v:
Code:
00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0ac0 (rev b1)
        Subsystem: Jetway Information Co., Ltd. Device a625
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 23
        Memory at fae78000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

added: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

(tried with model=3stack-6ch-dig and model=3stack-dig: no sound at all)

Output of amixer (first three controls):
Code:
Simple mixer control 'Master',0

  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

Cool

First thing I see is your

Code:
!!ALSA Version
!!------------

Driver version:     1.0.22.1
Library version:    1.0.21a
Utilities version:  1.0.21
versions, try to keep them all the same.

And install alsa-plugins, same ver as the latest you have (or wait till they come).

What ver of KDE do you have?

Arts may not be required in kde 4.x.x, use pulse instead. Regardless of the negative press, it works on most systems.

My chipset is MPC78 (ALC883)

I've never seen any reference to
Quote:
snd-hda-intel: model=3stack
But that maybe just my limited experience.

Most of this info is usefull for the alsa gurus, but It can be amazing how having the version of your libs and plugins match your main modules. <edit> can help running a clean system</edit>

And if you persist with the alsa group (where you got the alsa script from,) they may be able to give you more substantial information concerning your sound chip.

But either way, if you can give some more info on you desktop manager and OS(linux)we may be able to save you some time.

cheers and regards Glenn

Thanks Glenn for your reply!
I cant' explain why my version shows up that way...
I installed debian stable (lenny) and then upgraded some packages from backports. As far as I know alsa driver are shipped with the kernel's binary images.
Maybe upgrading my kernel (now I have 2.6.26) caused this situation?

What ver of KDE do you have?
KDE is 3.5. My OS is Debian 5.0 (lenny)
What are these alsa-plugins useful for?

As you suggest, I'll try to get in touch with the alsa guys...

Thanks again for your support :-)

With kde3.5 you will require aRts. And maybe not pulse (kde4.x)

Alsa plugins allow other programs to use the sound server. while other programs are using it, like a mixer.

Quote:
Plugins are used to create virtual devices that can be used like normal hardware devices but cause extra processing of the sound stream to take place
ref. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/ALSA_plugins

The low volume may be controlled by the alsa mixer and or kmix (kde), be sure to check your master volume, it may be called "Front" instead of Main or Master.

regards Glenn
