[SOLVED] LFS all done but need sound help

rabidlinux · 10-21-2017, 07:21 PM

Hi All,
Finished BLFS 8.1 systemd with Firefox,Thunderbird and working network. Missing icons in taskbar for
Pulseaudio or Alsa. I have xfce4 as my D.E. and can't remember if there are some Gnome apps I need
for this to help with my sound controls.
Thanks for any ideas or solutions. It was a lot of work but very rewarding to boot into something you
put together and fire up firefox and check your email.
Marching on,
Rabid

I'm not smart enough for gentoo or LFS. But

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ aplay --list-devices
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3202 Analog [ALC3202 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]

card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1

harry@biker:~
$ grep snd /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_hda_intel
harry@biker:~

Might be a good start for you.

Edit. Have you installed pauvcontrol or ran alsamixer in terminal yet also.

alsa-lib, alsa-plugins and alsa-utils. You'll find them in BLFS Chapter 44.

Thanks Hazel,
I installed those but nothing yet. Need to figure out how to get a volume control to my task bar. Thanks for the help.

If you have locate or mlocate installed. And you did updatedb as root in terminal

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ su
Password: 
root@biker:/home/harry# updatedb
root@biker:/home/harry# exit
exit
harry@biker:~
$ locate volume

might help. might not. Hazel knows more than I about LFS.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. Something caused some problems and has to reinstall my cloned OS.Will start again maybe tonight with
Pulseaudio and alsa again.
Thanks again
