Mandriva 2008 on Asus A6VA: ALSA + HSF modem not working

Unforgiven79 · 04-07-2008, 06:47 AM

Hi all

I have just installed Mandriva 2008 (hence, kernel 2.6.22.9) on my Asus A6VA laptop.
I have 2 major issues:

1. ALSA is loaded and works fine, though the board cannot drive headphones (i.e. if I plug the jack in, any sound disappears, while the laptop headphone work). I have tried and playing with the ALSA parameters, but I don't know if this is the solution and, in case, which ones would be the right parameters ("model", "id", "cmd",...)

2. Maybe as a consequence: the HSF driver is provided by the distro (nice surprise!), though it cannot find ANY modem (and I have mine provided by the HDA soundcard)

Can anyone advise, please?

go into kdeinfo center...it has a number of sections including sound and pci

I am not sure if you mean onboard sound with onboard modem or you truly have a soundcard.

can you expand pls?

2) if kmix does not show you enough outputs....try alsamixer.

3) can not drive headphones may relate to you really having a soundcard and bios disabled onboard sound...so can you mention if on other systems everything worked pls?

4) and you might as well check your bios settings for onboard modem and onboard sound just in case?

ps check what /var/log/dmesg is showing or /messages

Thanks. My answers, as for now:

1) I have onboard soundcard with onboard modem (the usual Asus laptop solution)
2) Already tried. Nothing changes
3)+4) Sound works perfectly with Windows, bios settings being obviously the same. So, I guess nothing should be touched here.

I am posting as susggested as soon as I come back home.

Two hints:
i. now HSF Driver works, the modem is recognized (I just updated the driver...).
ii. by changing the ALSA parameter (particularly, "model") I experienced outputs changing, though never the desired way... that is why I am asking if anyone could suggest such parameters values.

aus9 · 04-08-2008, 02:15 AM

glad to hear you got one working.

what command are you using when you talk about right parameters ("model", "id", "cmd",...) pls or from what log ?

Unforgiven79 · 04-08-2008, 06:33 AM

I am talking about those in the alsaconf file, which I can also modify via the KDE Control Center > Hardware > Soundboard driver > Options...

aus9 · 04-08-2008, 08:15 AM

don't have such a beast...I do have mdv control ctr /hw/sndcard?

but I am running a vanilla kernel and I put sound into the kernel and not as a module.

dominikus · 04-11-2008, 02:02 AM

what did you put in "model"? mine works after i put "acer" (without "") in "model" for my acer laptop. guess it will work if you put asus for your case.

First of all, chanks for your patience in helping me... I could not reply earlier due to some problems.

Now:

Already tried, obviously: all outputs become silent. Therefore, I supposed something depends upon the other parameter values, and that is why I am asking is anyone could provide the full set of values.

Ah, one more detail, just to be precise: I have also switched distro from Mandriva 2008 to PC LinuxOS2008 Gnome due to other issues... same status about ALSA, anyway.

Unforgiven79 · 04-20-2008, 05:57 AM

OK, now it would work fine... just removed a process mixer which was blocking ALSA (?). No more problems between HSA and ALSA.

Only one thing: now I have to run alsaconf at every start-up to have initialization of the soundboard. How to make it permanent?

aus9 · 04-20-2008, 07:40 AM

edit with root powers /etc/asound.state is one option.....but normally you can use root powers to run alsaconf (one more time) and upon success run alsamixer or kmix or someother mixer to get your volumes muted or unmuted or certain level

aus9 · 04-20-2008, 07:42 AM

now back on headphones are you running jackit?

Unforgiven79 · 04-21-2008, 03:20 PM

No, I don't use jack. Should I?

I tried takign a look within /etc/asound.state... well, I have programming skills, but this seems a little bit too dangerous for me to handle.

The thing is: I login and launch, say, Xmmms. I get an error message, stating my soundcard doesn't work. Then I launch alsaconf as root, it auto-configures, then in the end it initialize the board. From now, everything works fine.
I would like this initialization to take place automatically.
