Hi all:
My English is not very good, so I hope you cant understand me. Please excuse my errors with the language...
I have Slackware 10.2 running KDE with ALSA and 2.6.x kernel. I never had problems with my sound, it always worked perfectly except for a thing:
I didn't know how to record sounds using KRec (for example) so I started reading KRec's documentation and I found that I needed to activate fullduplex in Control Center, so I did it.
Then I tried to record any sounds from my microphone (in_soundcard in KRec configuration) but I had on luck. But I did record sounds from a program like XMMS playing a song.
Well, I configured everything again as the original way I configured my sound options in Control Center, I mean I turned off the fullduplex and everything should works fine ... again! but it shouldn't. Since that moment I was not able to hear any sound in KDE, I was not able so head any sound from command line, I was not able to head any sound from any place. So I tried everything I know:
1) I run alsamixer (yeah, controls are not in mute mode), alsaconf, alsactl store|restore
2) I run aumix, kmix, and other mixers
3) I checked for perms in my devices (/dev/dsp, /dev/audio, /dev/*
)
4) I reinstall alsa-* packages
5) I checked for errors in dmesg, but no error messages found
6) I tried to run programs directly to use ALSA and no arts
7) I tried to run programs using OSS emulation
8) I tried all these previous steps as root
9) I searched in these forums similar problems
10) I turned on and turned off udev
11) I turned on and turned off hotplug
12) I also tried to find errors in logs files like ~/.xsession-erros /var/log/packages/Xorg.0.log /var/log/debug /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog
13) I tried to cry like a baby and I don't remember what other ways to solve this problem
¿My sound card? This is my lspci output:
