I've searched everything known by Google about this chipset under
ALSA, but am still having troubles getting sound to play.
I have everything unmuted, with volume cranked up. Here is my
modules.conf:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29
snd_device_uid=0
options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
After booting, all the right modules are loaded. Everything under
/proc/asound looks fine by my eyes. It reports the Intel ICH device
as available for audio playback both by ALSA and OSS emulation.
However, when I use aplay to play a small .wav file, it hangs trying
to write to the device. aplay just never comes back. So far, I have
been able to generate nothing but silence.
If I then modprobe -r all of ALSA's modules, and load these three OSS
modules:
soundcore ac97_codec i810_audio
I can hear sound again just fine. So why would the ac97 and i810
drivers in ALSA not be able to play sound?
Please copy me on any responses, since I do not subscribe to this list.
Thank you,
