weird problem with intel 810 soundcard

FakuFaku · 06-08-2004, 03:52 PM

Hello,

I've got a weird problem with my soundcard :
I'm using Gentoo 1.4 with an intel 810 soundcard. I've installed ALSA drivers and everything, correctly, I think (I follow the instruction that were on gentoo's site). And it worked fine at one exception :

No sound come out of the speakers but it works perfectly fine with headphone...

Can someone help me ?

Do the speakers work normally when plugged into something else?

Your sound card looks like its set up properly.

If you can run an ALSA mixer program and adjust the volume for the speakers then it should work, otherwise draw the speakers from the headphone socket if nothing else will work.

I already ran alsamixer and adjusted the volume. I had heard that Master/Master M AND PCM should be turned on for having sound in the speaker (I also turned on the volume in the headphone)... And, I forgot to tell you an important thing, actually my computer is a laptop, so the speakers are integrated. It is an Inspiron 8600, from Dell.

are you recieving any errors from your window manager reguarding sound? have you tried turing all volumes to 100%? i ask because i have a machine that has integrated speakers and if volumes are not at 100% i can't get anything out of it.

Are you getting any sound via

a) system beeps etc

b) cd player

?

Do you mean the built-in speaker or external ones?

I tried to turn all volume to 100%, and I still have the same problem. Sounds works perfectly with headphones (everything), but nothing comes out the speakers...

These are built-in speakers.
