Hi, I'm tearing my hair out by the roots here. I don't know if the problem is Alsa or something else because I *do* have sound. However, I do not have sound when I try to play an audio CD, although I can rip the CD to my hard drive and then, I can hear it.
First, I must explain that I have little formal computer training, but I'm not stupid just need explicit instructions. I've used Alsa for a number of years (been using Linux since 2000) and have always had success with the alsa binary driver. Anyway, enough of the intro. The relevant details are: I'm running Gentoo Linux The version of the alsa-driver that is installed is 1.0.14 On boot, the module snd_hda_intel loads and if I do 'modprobe snd_hda_intel', i don't get an error message. Output from ' aplay -l' is: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 (don't know if this is relevant) I've tried various suggestions that were in reponse to my request for help on the gentoo-user list and I can't seem to get audio to work when trying to play an audio CD no matter what I do. As some final information: I have Alsa working on my desktop, but it's a different sound card. On my desktop, kmix shows the following items for output: Master Master Mono Headphone 3D-Control-Center 3D-Control-Depth PCM PC Speaker On the *laptop* (XPS M1710), Kmix shows only the following items for output: Master PCM Capture Mux On the laptop, Kmix shows only Mic as Input If someone can offer some direction here, I would appreciate it.
