Hi there,

I have a problem, which I´m trying to solve for a quite long time..
I get no sound during recording - respectively just a background-noise - ssssssssssss - when I turn ON CAPTURE and DIGITAL volume input to 100% ON.
When I mute CAPTURE or DIGITAL this sound disappear..

In Skype I get no sound recording at all..

I have a few mixers - alsamixer, kmix, gnome-alsamixer, aumix... all seems to corespond and react to each other.

Actually i have no Microphone posibility in mixers and as well nothing through aumix..

In System/Settings/Sound - in sound record test:
"Failed test tubes for structures" 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'

Device HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer).. as well I have a posibility of choosing VIA ID 4397 (OSSM ixer)

Any ideas?

Thank you a lot..

Hi r.zahornadsky, Welcome to LQ. Please post the output from the following:

Good luck. ;-)

Hi Peacedog, here are the results:

$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
- Codec: VIA ID 4397

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
- alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
- alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
- file doesn't exists..

How about this output please?

Good luck. ;-)

That command gave respond as follows:

lspci -v | grep Audio
- 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)

Try this.

Then remove and reinsert the module.

Good luck. ;-)

Thanks for advices..., I have already spent some time searching how to remove and reinsert modules... It isn't realy easy..

Removing and reinserting the modules shouldn't be a major event.

The other option would be a reboot.

Good luck. ;-)

I know that it shouldn't be an issue, but..

1/ Cannot remove module snd-hda-intel, because it is in use..
Tried to blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, ../blacklist-mdv, ..blacklist-compat. No success.
Tried to # hash it in modprobe.conf - no success..
Tried to # 'killall esd' and after 'modprobe -r snd-hda-intel' - no success..

2/ If I remove one day sound module snd-hda-intel, you mean just to use the same module snd-hda-intel??

My audio device is VIA VT1705 on motherboard ASRock N68C-S.

Thanks :-)

Respectivaly -

Did you mean to remove and reinsert module named 'snd-hda-intel' ????

Thanks :-)

Yes, on second thought, it may be simpler to just reboot after the edit.

Good luck. ;-)

read this thread to the bottom ok. let me know if it helped mandriva 2008 does not use pulse audio but the way I explain alsa and microphone and sound for skype should help.

Peacedog

- if I understood it right, you just meant to reboot after inserting the line into alsa-conf? I did it and no change..

I was searching for right module type for my VIA VT1705, but it seems, that it is not supported...
I put the '3stack' type as well into the Hardware/Sound/MCP61 - High definition Audio/Edit Module/module = 3stack..

Drakeo -

- I read the thread you have indicate to me. The think is, that I had no MIC, Mic boost, Line In possibilities in alsamixer - even after pressing F4 or TAB. I have following possibilities - Master, PCM, Capture, Digital. Tried to switch the R_____L under CAPTURE - and no change.. All volumes are OK.

Problem is, that in amixer it says, that THERE IS NO MIC.. Would like to get it working, but have no idea how to change that.. I mean to get the microphone appear...

Thanks

What is the output from the following now, please?

Good luck. ;-)

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
