KMix problem with Realtek ALC883 sound
I just installed openSUSE 10.3 and I'm having this quirky KMix problem. The "PC Speaker" control doesn't control the sound output; i.e I can move the slider up or down, or click mute but it doesn't change the sound output. The controls that work are the "Front" and "PCM" sliders. Oh, I also tried plugging the jack into the different female slots from the MB. Any thoughts on how I can get the "PC Speaker" slider to work.
Below are some pc info: lspci: Code:
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a1) Code:
snd_pcm_oss 67456 0 |
I have the same problem
I have the same type of sound card in my laptop, but I have no luck either with opensuse, or ubuntu. I even download and install the alsa-driver, and nothing happened. I am still trying.
|
So, your having the same problem I'm having then? It might be that they (alsa) do not support the NVidia chipset yet. Can anybody else comment on this?

I get my sound card working on OpenSuSe
I get this howto from ubuntuforums
I have a toshiba satellite A215 -7422 this is the howto: this is a link to ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3524787 Install dependencies: Code: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev build-essential ncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r` Download the files needed (this is version 1.0.15rc2): ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/drive....15rc2.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/a....15rc2.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils....15rc1.tar.bz2 I save mine on separate home-partition first (in case of reinstall) to a directory called ~/ALSA/1.0.15rc2 and then I do the following: Code: sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa cd /usr/src/alsa sudo cp ~/ALSA/1.0.15rc2/* . sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc2.tar.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.15rc2.tar.bz2 sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 Then compile (I'm not sure if the --with-oss=yes is needed): Code: cd alsa-driver-1.0.15rc2/ sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes sudo make sudo make install cd ../alsa-lib-1.0.15rc2/ sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install cd ../alsa-utils-1.0.15rc1/ sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install Then edit alsa-base in /etc/modprobe.d: Code: sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base And add the following line at the end: Code: options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba Reboot. Fantastic my laptop Acer Travelmate 5720 work perfectly with your suggets. PS: for Acer users, before operate step by step, read the alsa documentation (/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz) and you can find the supported options for your model. I replaced Code: options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba with Code: options snd-hda-intel model=acer if you have an HP or dell etc. replace toshiba with your own model have fun |
kafnir, you never said whether your issue was the same as mine. Can you give a brief comment on your issue?
|
Ok, I've tried loading snd_hda_intel with "6stack-dig" option but the "PC Slider" is still not active. This might be an ALSA bug, but before I submit a case, does anyone have any other thoughts?

Though I can hear sound - unless I suspend to something - I cannot use the microphone nor the headphone plug. Where did you put the option statement to? I did it in /etc/modprobe.p/alsa-base. What's wrong? Thank you for help in advance. Conrad |
Right click on the speaker
I had the same problem. I'm using KDE and my soundcard chip is a Realtek ALC 883. When clicking on the "speaker" icon on the panel (kmix), I was initially unable to control the sound volume. In fact the solution is very simple: right click on that "speaker" icon and you'll see the word "select" followed by a sound channel name. In my case the channel name was "headphone", so I clicked on the "select" thing and choose "Master Channel". Now it works perfectly.
|
Yeah, I discovered that as well. Turns out my master channel is "Front". So it seems my sound is working fine. :D
|
To get recording working, I had to use the 6stack-dig option, then set input source to line (kmix), then set input capture levels to high (kmix), then set audacity input to ALSA: default.
|
How can I solve this problem? I compiled alsa-driver, alsa-utils, and alsa-libs. I have the same sound card, but not on a laptop. I have it onboard a desktop motherboard.

make sure the the volume is not disable in kmix
if you follow the installation process to install aslsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-util. then blacklist the module in modprobe as this.
step 1: install kernel-devel, kernel-headers, ncurses, or kernel-source step 2: driver installation: cd /usr/src/ and create a new dir with mkdir alsa copy the drivers to /usr/src/alsa tar xvjf alsa-driver-xxx.bz2 ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes make make install tar xvjf alsa-libs-xxx.bz2 ./configure make make install tar xvjf alsa-util-xxx.bz2 ./configure make make install step 3: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base enter this in the blank page options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba example: model is the model of your sound card or the computer manufacture. model=hp or model=dell, model=sony save the file and reboot your computer the sound card should be working by now.if it not, open alsamixgui or kmix to uncheck your volume, cdrom etc good luck |
