Devuan Jessie, Aspire One 725, Alsa error messages.
I am trying to get Alsa to work on my Acer Aspire One 725 with a new, vanilla install of Devuan Jessie with a minimal i3wm install. The Acer uses a Broadcom BCM43228 card. During the process of trying to get things to work, I have tried a number of things. Firstly to see if I had installed all of the relevant Alsa bits, which I believe that I have done:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-oss alsamixergui libalsaplayer0Code:
$ voltiCode:
$ amixer set Master 90% unmuteCode:
$ lspci -nn---- BTW, I forgot to mention that I started this attempt at getting the audio to work by running: Code:
# apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkmsCode:
# modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcmaCode:
# modprobe wl |
I seem to have the same volti issue on debian buster amd64. But everything otherwise works.
$ speaker-test -c 2 -l 1 -D hw:0,3 $ alsamixer -D hw:0 $ alsamixer -D hw:1 ofc -c 1 is roughly the same as -D hw:1 for alsamixer. With F1 for help and F6 to change cards in mixer. |

I am grabbing at straws here, but hopefully some of this will provide more info:
Code:
$ lspci -kCode:
$ uname -rCode:
$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0Code:
$ cat /proc/asound/card1/codec#0 | grep CodecCode:
$ apt-cache policy alsa* |

did that give you any sound at all, did you try using headphones or ear buds to see if sound is comming out of that? have you dug into your system to see what it is registering as your sound card? Code:
$ cat /proc/asound/cardsCode:
sudo dmesg | grep soundBUT check your dmesg to see what's going on with your system and card using grep 'sound' or 'Realtek' for key words to pull the information. |

Code:
$ sudo dmesg | grep sound |
NO palseaudio right?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...roubleshooting Using ALSA's speaker-test utility HD-Audio Generic everything is Audio Generic, does not look like you're getting drivers for it. Devuan is that no systemD Debian knock off , not every well supported yet distro, yes? https://airbornesurfer.com/2015/04/h...iver-in-linux/ I'm seeing a lot of issues with your card make modle https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto that is for Ubuntututu. but you might want to look into it some until you hit a dead end if you do. |

I tried adding all of the following to the ~/.asoundrc file:

Given what the OP has posted so far, it appears the actual sound driver is missing.

have you had another distro on that HW yet? just out of curiosity I'd burn a different Live distro to a usb stick and see if they get sound. seeing how that distro is marking what you have as Generic. Like I said you might not even have the dirvers , as i also said they are poorly supported. or you could query their repo for sound drivers and see if you find anything remotely close to your card.
