Hi, I'm having some interesting difficulties with ALSA on my Apple ibook2 (500MHz G3 running Debian).
I'm using the 0.9 version of ALSA and have tried today's CVS snapshot as well as the release candidate. I even had a quick go at 0.5 but discovered that it didn't come with the required snd-powermac module. It all *seems* to be working, I do the modprobe and it all loads nicely. I de-mute everything and turn up the volume using alsamixer. I run xmms, and as far as it's concerned everything's fine playing an mp3 (via oss emulation)... but, no sound! The driver seems to handle me plugging in headphones and speakers just fine (muting the speakers on the laptop on insertion and de-muting them on removal). No matter how loud I boost the volume, nothing, no sound... Thinking that it might be an oss -> alsa problem I decided to try some native alsa apps, mplayer and alsaplayer: Compiliing mplayer for alsa9 and it gives the following when I try to play a movie: alsa-init: requested format: 44100 Hz, 2 channels, Signed 16-bit (Big-Endian) alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: hw:0,0 Fair enough, but then the movie doesn't play and it just hangs there. The movie plays fine with sound off... Alsaplayer is similar, only it just hangs when it loads and does nothing before it even brings up a window. Can anyone help? Thanks for listening...
